Montreal Architecture Gallery
Montreal was founded in 1642, so it stands to reason that it has its fair share of remarkable buildings. Spanning several centuries, a variety of styles co-exist in this incredibly walkable city, including soaring Gothic cathedrals, and humble riverfront warehouses. While winter may bring freezing temperatures and gray skies to Montreal, it also provides a less crowded time to explore the charming city’s cobblestone lanes, churches and cafes.

Auberge Du Vieux-Port- Montreal, QC
Auberge Du Vieux-Port in Montreal is housed in two 19th Century warehouses along the river in Montreal. There apparently are very quaint rooms at the hotel, with original stone walls, but we did not get one. Although we did had a lovely view of the river, our room itself was underwhelming, and left us questioning our hotel decision, despite the cozy common areas and attached bar.

Notre-Dame-de-Secours Chapel- Montreal, QC
Built in 1771, on the site of an earlier chapel, Notre-Dame-de-Secours, also known as the Sailors’ Church, is one of Montreal’s oldest churches. A popular pilgrimage site for 19th century sailors arriving in the Old Port, model ships were often donated as offerings to the Virgin Mary, in hopes of a safe voyage. Today, these model ships still decorate the church, making it one of the most unique chapels in the city.
