Underground City

The world's largest underground pedestrian network shelters Montrealers from both the scorching heat of summer and the frigid winter winds. More than 30 kilometres of passageways link the stations of Montreal's Metro and contain (at last count) 1,600 boutiques, 200 restaurants, 34 cinemas and 1,600 apartments. Some 500,000 people use it every day. Although the area stays open as long as the Metro stations themselves, the best time to visit is between 9am-11am and 2pm-4pm, when it is least crowded. Contact the public transit authority for transportation information.
