Vieux-Port de Montréal (Old Port)
After the old-town streets, drop down to the river. The Old Port is a flat promenade with a dozen options you can pick by mood and weather — the Grande Roue ferris wheel for the view, the Clock Tower beach to lounge in summer, a big skating rink in winter, pedal boats. The Science Centre is right there for a rainy pivot. It's an easy, flexible essential.
The riverfront promenade below Old Montreal — flat, free, and stacked with options: the ferris wheel, a urban beach, winter skating, and the Science Centre.
