Downtown
The larger downtown area acts as the centre of activities in the city, with plenty of shops, museums, bars and restaurants. Despite the closure of many notable sites, virtual tours of museums are offered by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Pointe-à-Callière Montreal Archaeology and History Complex.
For all music lovers, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra has put together a series of live shows on their website accessible to everyone, due to concert cancellations. Parks and recreational spots such as Mount Royal and Parc Jean-Drapeau are also great places to enjoy a picnic with friends or short walks during study breaks.
Other popular cultural areas include Place des Arts and the Quartier des spectacles, which are the centre of Montreal’s festivals and cultural events.
