One of montreal's greatest accidental achivements.The city engineers felt it was to cold to go from office to depanneur (corner store)and built one passegway. Then another engineer thought that was cool and connected another passageway. Two more engineers got jealous and connected there own buildings underground. Then the next thing we know , all of downtown montreal has gone underground.
The really fun part of going underground is finding all these passagways. In some places they are wide and clear as day. In other places they are only 3 feet wide.
If you look hard enough , you will discover the Ice Rink, find the old prison for what is left of the old train station. (apparently it was Chinese who built the railway)
The old montreal indoor couryard .The Open air swimming pool. (bonaventure)
Now is a good time to really discover Montreal underground world.
