Visit Montreal in 2 Days: The Ideal Itinerary

 

Two days are enough to experience the essentials of Montreal if you organize your visit by area. Here is an efficient itinerary designed from a convenient base such as Saint-Léonard.

 

 

Day 1 — Old Montreal and Mount Royal

 

In the morning, explore Old Montreal and the Old Port: Saint-Paul Street, Notre-Dame Basilica and Place Jacques-Cartier. In the afternoon, visit Mount Royal Park and the Kondiaronk Belvedere. In the evening, enjoy dinner in the Plateau or along Saint-Denis Street.

 

 

Day 2 — Plateau, Mile End and Olympic Park

 

In the morning, have breakfast in the Plateau, try bagels from St-Viateur or Fairmount, admire the homes with their iconic spiral staircases, and visit La Fontaine Park. Around noon, stop at Jean-Talon Market. In the afternoon, head to the Olympic Park to visit the Biodome and Botanical Garden.

Practical Tips

 

Wear comfortable shoes and use the metro or bike-sharing services from April to November. Avoid driving downtown: leave your car in the hotel’s free parking lot. Book the Basilica and Biodome in advance during peak season, and group your activities by area: the west side on the first day and the east side on the second.
