A self guided audio tour of Montreal.
Founded in 1642 as Ville-Marie, Montreal has always been a collision point of cultures. From its early days as a French settlement, the city grew into a major commercial center, hosting the 1967 International Exposition and the 1976 Summer Olympics. Today, it remains a powerhouse of arts and industry, claiming titles like UNESCO City of Design. Explore a place where the rhythm of the Canadiens' 24 Stanley Cups meets the global stage of the Montreal Jazz Festival.
In the app, 100 stops in Montreal are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
