7 Montréal 7 Only in Montréal does a simple stroll seem like time travel: you go back in time or leap to the future with every step. With memories of New France swirling amongst ultramodern construction, it s no wonder that Montréal was the first North American city to be named a UNESCO City of Design (2006). photo: Photos.com Relive the romance of days gone by amidst Old Montréal s cobblestone streets and 18th- and 19th-century stone buildings, taking time to gaze in awe at Notre-Dame Basilica. Amble towards the present through Montréal s new jewel of urban design the Quartier International and beyond to experience the downtown s eclectic mix of old and new: striking skyscrapers, heritage buildings, sleek cafés, designer boutiques and art galleries plus architectural innovations such as Place Ville-Marie and the Underground Pedestrian Network set the scene for Montréal s cosmopolitan vibe. The futuristic constructions such as Expo 67 s geodesic Biosphère, the Casino de Montréal, Habitat 67 s building-block apartments and the Olympic Stadium are all testament to Montréal s avant-garde vision. Mount Royal, with its stately greystone buildings and Victorianstyle mansions stands tall, while St. Joseph s Oratory watches over the city from its imposing perch. Finally, Montréal s neighbourhoods. Its signature wrought-iron staircases, the plexes of many configurations (du, tri, four and five), plus the cultural touches of its diverse communities, reveal the true nature of this tremendous city.
