Montreal Neighborhoods
Plateau-Mont-Royal, Mile End, Griffintown and Little Italy — each neighbourhood has its own soul.
Montréal is a city of villages. The Plateau is all colourful triplexes and exterior spiral staircases; Mile End hums with indie cafés and studios; Griffintown is the sleek, fast-rising waterfront district.
Wander on foot to feel the shift in mood, murals and menus from one block to the next.
