Vieux-Montreal

Map of Vieux-Montréal

Vieux-Montréal is a center of cultural life and municipal government. Most of the summer activities revolve around Place Jacques-Cartier, which becomes a pedestrian mall full of street performers and outdoor cafés, and the Vieux-Port, one of the city's most popular recreation spots. The Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal performs summer concerts at Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montréal, and English-language plays are staged in the Centaur Theatre in the old stock exchange building. This district has museums devoted to history, religion, and the arts.
