Boulevard Saint-Laurent murals (MURAL corridor)
Montreal has the best public-mural culture in North America, and this stretch of the Main is where to see it. The annual MURAL Festival (June) paints huge works by international and local artists, and the best stay up for years. Walk Saint-Laurent through the Plateau with your head up, detour into the side streets where the strongest pieces hide, and it's a free, vivid open-air gallery. Daylight only — murals need the sun.
The stretch of the Main covered in large-scale murals from the annual MURAL Festival — a free open-air gallery of serious street art, best in daylight.
