Past Mixes with Present in Historic District Stroll through historic Old Montreal to discover the character and charm of one of North America’s oldest cities. Learn about the eclectic mix of French and English influences that shaped the city as you navigate its cobblestone streets and narrow alleys with your guide. Walk toward Place Royale, listening as your guide shares stories about the early fortifications and Indigenous settlements of Montreal. Continue through Place d’Armes, a public square dominated by the soaring neo-Gothic Notre Dame Basilica. Step inside to view its wood carvings, stained glass windows and pipe organ. Next, continue along St. Jacques Street, the city’s first financial district and home to its banking institutions since the 19th century. Finally, pass by City Hall on your way to vibrant Place Jacques-Cartier, the entrance to the Old Port and a former public marketplace. After, you will return to your ship.
