First off, Underground City is actually a multitude of shopping malls, rail stations etc connected underground that travels mostly along the length of Ste-Catherine street. Don't look for signs saying "underground city" as it is only referred to as such by tourists or some anglophones. I wouldn't say this is a tourist attraction, but certainly a fantastic place to shop.... more

Don't take this wrong, but if you go to Montreal's underground and wander around a bit you can't help but feeling either like a rat or an ant. This place is massive! We've never seen anything like it anywhere. Who would've thought there was as much shopping and food underground as above ground? Even though it was summer during our... more

The most important thing to know is that the "Underground City" is not one, unified thing. It's made of a bunch of different malls, which just happen to be interconnected with each other. Each mall has its own hours, and its own policy on locking doors... so if you're visiting in the winter, or if you're looking to avoid walking... more

This is a dream come true for shoppers..lol The Underground City has everything you could hope for. There's at least 5 malls all inter-connected, the biggest one being the Eaton Cenre. There's also Les Promenades de la Cathedral, Place Ville-Marie, Place Montreal Trust, and Les Ailes de la Mode. You can find anything there, my personal favourite is the Formula... more

It was 30 below and yet in the underground city it was like being in 30 above weather--the shops and the restaurants were well worth the visit--everything is underground and connected through the pedistrian walkway and the metro--very easy to find the place you have to be--directions labelled in every fork in the aisles--theatres and imax --bell centre and pepsi... more
