Ville-Marie was named the “Neighbourhood of the future” in the 1960s and has been iconic ever since. An aggregate of the trendiest stores, venues and restaurants, it’s no wonder the area consistently attracts crowds of tourists and native Montrealers alike. Ville-Marie also boasts a growing collection of some of the most impressive modern buildings on the island, complemented by rich historical architecture and monuments. It’s the heart of Montreal for a reason!
