1. Latin Quarter (Quartier Latin)

|
| Stay in the Latin Quarter around the University of Quebec @ Montreal(UQAM). It's right on the train line, and it's in the middle of the action. Excellent food, Old Montreal, Centre-Ville, the biosphere & Olympic Stadium are either an easy walk or a quick train ride away. |

3. Old Montreal (Vieux-Montreal)

|
| Walk or ride in horse drawn carriage around this beautfiul, cobblestoned replica of a European city. Don't forget to enjoy the old Port & the water on the far south. The view is terrific in the early morning(and late evening!) This can easily be a full morning! |
