You can see many historical sights on foot with a multitude of restaurants and shops within striking distance. Ste. Catherine between Victoria Square and Guy Street is the main commercial centre of Montreal. Shopping here is world-class especially in the underground city which seems endless. Mount Royal Park is unique and affords a fantastic view of the City from the famous lookout. The Plateau Mont Royal is also worth a visit on foot especially a stop at one of the many neighbourhood restaurants. To the east of downtown, you will find the major tourist attractions: the Olympic Stadium, the Biodome and Insectarium and the world-famous Botanical gardens. If you are in the mood for relaxation, you can head straight for St Denis Street, north of Ste.Catherine where you will find an abundance of restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores and bistros. If it's a walk or a bicycle ride you are looking for, you will find a wide variety of activities on Ile Ste.Helene and Ile Notre Dame, ranging from the Old Fort and the Floralies site to the La Ronde amusement park and the Casino.
