Great for walking around the city when it's super cold!

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Many chain stores that we find at home. Lots of walking and if you don't have a place in mind the 22 Kms makes specific stores hard to find. On the other hand it was chilly and windy and is a good place to get out of the elements.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Hard to imagine how vast this complex is. Suggest use most convenient metro stops.

3/5 - Okay

It is very confusing to get there. Looks like nobody in Montreal knows this place as "The Underground City".

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Was a little hard to navigate and we made some wrong turns. We had a route planned out and there was construction that caused us to have to give up and go above ground. Not much to see along the way.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

what we did end up seeing of it was beautiful, if I ever went back would try to do a tour
