Place des Festivals
Rue Saint-Catherine has more than just a romantic name. It lies at the heart of the entertainment district and is where Place des Festivals hosts various performances, including the Montreal International Jazz Festival, winter art installations (think pretty lights with a snowy backdrop), classic film screenings and music concerts. The outdoor plaza features the largest interactive fountain in Canada, a synchronized dance of water, light and music. Head here for a night-time stroll, and chances are your evening plans can be made on the go. Recommended by local insider Caitlin Stall-Paquet
