Montreal’s heart hides more than meets the eye—beneath grand domes, modern towers, and famous facades pulse stories of intrigue and transformation. This self-guided audio tour leads through Ville-Marie’s dazzling core, unlocking history’s secrets most rush past.

What dramatic standoff nearly turned the Queen Elizabeth Hotel into a command post during crisis? Which lost blueprint sent secret agents to Rome from Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral? Why is there an ice rink tucked inside the city’s tallest skyscraper, 1000 de La Gauchetière—and who dreamed it up?

Move between royal scandals and rebellious art, hear echoes of peace anthems and political upheaval, and watch the layers of old Montreal ripple beneath steel and glass. Each step reveals unexpected detail; every glance upward or inward uncovers another legend.

Ready to peel back the surface? Begin now and see Ville-Marie with new eyes—where every landmark holds a hidden story just waiting for you.
