Tips from the community
We try to keep malls off these lists because, well, lame. But this 12-story underground shopping center is what actual dreams are made of. Les Cours Mont-Royal Centre is a weird mix of ‘suburban mall where your grandma goes for her daily power walk’ and ‘gucci baby’. Where else are you going to find imported marble, crystal chandeliers and incredible crown-moulding overlooking a Starbucks and Thai Express? Nowhere, friends. The coolest thing is that Cours Mont-Royal is a part of a huge (and hidden) underground network: 32 kilometers of boutique shopping, food and entertainment resting just below the city.
How to: One month each year, Art Souterrain –that’s French for underground art— pops up and occupies more than 6 km of Montréal’s underground city. Art Sourterrain exists to both democratize and popularize contemporary art in the city.
