The Old Port of Montreal stretches along the St. Lawrence River, offering a blend of history and recreation. Once a bustling hub for fur traders and shipping, it's now a vibrant public space with promenades, green spaces, and cultural venues. Visitors can bike or rollerblade along the Lachine Canal, take a river cruise, or explore the Montreal Science Centre. In winter, the port hosts a skating rink and outdoor activities. The area also features the iconic Bonsecours Market and the Pointe-à-Callière archaeology museum.
