1 Underground City
Stay out of the cold in this 24km stretch of walkways, connecting metro stations, public art repositories, hotels, shopping centres and offices. Each of the privately developed pathways is in a different style, ranging from exposed brick to geometric white tiles and stainless steel, and colourful stained glass. Start at Bonanventure metro station and make your way to the Eaton Centre, the shopping area on St Catherine Street. There's plenty more shopping at Les Ailes to the east and the ritzier Cours Mount Royal to the west.

3 Premiere Moisson
You can smell the freshly baked bread long before you see the bright yellow sign at 895, rue de la Gauchetiere Ouest. A foodie's institution in Montreal, the bakery offers more than 40 different varieties of authentic homemade bread, as well as fine French and Viennese pastry made from natural ingredients and baked in a traditional wood-fired oven. Premiere Moisson operates a series of outlets throughout the city. The basic baguettes and croissants are enough of a treat, but also on offer are homemade pates, garnishes and desserts made with lashings of butter, cream and fresh fruit.
