It is fascinating to travel across downtown without needing to be outdoors. However the experience must be done in company or one has to be sowhat brave. You can find youth and feel a littkle bit afraid abourt their looks.

Out of town people are always super impress by it. But it is actually kind of claustrophobic and just a giant shopping malls. Some of the southern tunnels are worth seeing though. But really it is mostly just a way to get around.

I love to visit the underground city, especially in Winter. You can lose yourself in the abundant shops and walk from one mall to the next without ever going outside.
I have read that Montréal's underground city is the biggest in the world.

A typical mall - Unique since it is underground connecting 3 Subway stations. A decent place to roam around. Lots of food courts and other options. Overall worth a quick visit specially if it is raining. Reachable from Gare Cetral, and other stations nearby.

The underground city of Montreal is amazing. You can go from shopping center to shopping center without being bothered with the weather. And everything is available. From clothing to doctors, dentists and supermarkets. Direct access is available from many hotels and the Metro.

We were able to go from Old Montreal to downtown using the subway. We had time to shop and stop to eat while it was pouring rain outside! Fantastic!

Recent reviewers have hit the nail on the head; the "underground city" is little more than a large shopping mall. Interestingly, this popular "attraction" isn't terribly easy to navigate, particularly if you enter the underground from a location other than Eaton Center or other central metro stations. Our hotel concierge explained that we would have to go above ground to...
