The center, known as the Palais des congrès de Montréal, was completed in 1983.

Just a few steps from the Palais des congrès is Chinatown, with dim sum restaurants, noodle shops and Chinese businesses. Portuguese, Greek and Italian enclaves are also nearby, along with a vibrant arts and entertainment district, the Quartier des Spectacles.

Head south to the St. Lawrence River and Montréal’s founding site, which is now home to Pointe-à-Callière, an archaeological and history museum complex. If you go northwest to the downtown area, you’ll find the Golden Square Mile of luxurious 19th-century mansions and grand public buildings, including the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts. You’re also near the home of the Montréal Canadiens, where you can watch an exciting game of hockey.
