Day 3
9:00 AM - Reach Saint Helen’s Park and either walk around a bit or head straight to the Biosphere. The structure itself is beautiful and the museum offers insights of the environment.
12:00 PM - Stop anywhere you’d like for lunch, now that you’ve had a taste of Montréal.
2:00 PM - Take public transportation to Parc du Mont-Royal and see the beautiful skyline of Montréal.
3:00 PM - Either explore the park some more or head downtown to explore the underground city, a maze of shops and restaurants. Due to the extreme cold winters, locals and tourists remain protected underground and can navigate the city that way. It can be a little disorienting trying to navigate without any landmark indications as you’d get above ground, but it can be a fun challenge to find your way. More information can be found here.
