Old Port, Port and tourist area in Montreal, Canada

The Old Port extends over 2 kilometers along the Saint Lawrence River, featuring walking paths, cycling trails, and multiple recreational facilities.

Established as a trading post in 1611 by French fur traders, the port served as Montreal's primary shipping center until operations relocated in 1976.

The Montreal Science Centre presents permanent exhibitions, an IMAX theater, and educational programs that highlight scientific discoveries and technological innovations.

Visitors access numerous activities from 6:00 AM to midnight, including boat tours, bicycle rentals, skating rinks in winter, and beach areas in summer.

The Montreal Clock Tower marks the entrance to the port, while La Grande Roue, Canada's tallest observation wheel, provides panoramic views of the waterfront.
