Montréal has been built up following a simple grid of parallel and perpendicular streets. It’s relatively easy to find your way…. until you step down into the underground city.
The walkways and tunnels that connect us to the city are like roots, they swerve and cross diagonally in a way that even Montrealers get disoriented.
Explore the network with us and you’ll experience the hustle and bustle that lies beneath the city. You’ll enjoy a few tastings “on the go” and you’ll hear stories about art projects, Expo ’67 and the current commercial impacts that this network has had on the development of a downtown core that is truly affected by the winter cold. You’ll see how this “underground” city has brought vitality above ground!
