Architecture

Financially Montreal might have seen hard times for a generation, but before that there was real wealth in the city, and it shows in its architecture.

This spans from the neo-Gothic Notre Dame Basilica through the skyscrapers of banking powerhouses around Place D’Armes to the glassy contemporary chic of the Grande Bibliothèque Nationale.

Don't miss Habitat 67 and the Palais des Congrès for the local contribution to the bold and visionary world of modernist architecture.

Be sure too to check on the Canadian Centre for Architecture for its dependably interesting temporary exhibitions and excellent bookshop.
