Vieux-Port-de-Montréal
Parks, Vieux-Montréal
Fodor's Review:
Montréal's favorite waterfront park is your ideal gateway to the St. Lawrence River. You can rent a pedal boat, take a ferry to Île Ste-Hélène, sign up for a dinner cruise, or, if you're really adventurous, ride a raft through the turbulent Lachine Rapids. If you're determined to stay ashore, however, there's still plenty do. You can rent a bicycle or a pair of in-line skates at one of the shops along rue de la Commune and explore the waterfront at your leisure. If it's raining, the iSci science center on King Edward Pier will keep you dry and entertained, and if your lungs are in good shape you can climb the 192 steps to the top of the Clock Tower for a good view of the waterfront and the islands; it was erected at the eastern end of the waterfront in memory of merchant mariners killed during World War I. Every couple of years or so, Montréal's Cirque du Soleil comes home to pitch its blue-and-yellow tent in the Vieux-Port.
