Great video Dan! Unfortunately you can't get from Place-des-Arts to McGill underground, unless you go south toward Palais des congrès and the World Trade Centre (where you started) and then connect from there to Square Victoria to ICAO and through Place Bonaventure and then up toward PVM and then McGill, but it's not easy. The main heart of the underground is basically a U, and the top right of the U is Place-des-Arts, with McGill being the top left. We need to build some tunnels to connect them and close off the gap, maybe one day! Let me know if you ever want a tour it could be fun!

Yes, the Underground City is Montreal is amazing. Many people here hate winter, so they mostly stay indoors during it, hence the popularity of this network. You can wear summer clothes when it is -30'C outside and still get everything done whilst staying indoors the whole time.

That section of the deadly Berlin Wall was donated by the city of Berlin, a gift to celebrate MTL’s 350th anniversary. Ironically it is directly above where the 17th/18th century stone wall dividing what is now known as Old Montreal from the native Iroquois, on whose land it was built. Before those buildings were glassed over, it was known as ‘ruelle des fortifications’, or ‘Fortification Lane’. Go behind City Hall, and you can see remnants of the wall.

Hi Dan, I used to pass through the World Trade Centre every day while headed to work. In case you didn't know, there's actually another way to get to the underground from that building, it's at the opposite end from the one you found. You passed right by when you entered.

Really cool how it's all connected and how freaking massive the underground is. Sucks to get lost but hey at least you can find new things 😅. It must be great for activities during the winter. Video quality was great! Also this was a good French listening practice for me ( my French is kinda rusty😅) !

The Berlin Wall was the wall between EAST Berlin (belonging to Eastern Germany) and WEST Berlin (belonging to Western Germany) in Berlin City. Because Berlin was cut in two, even if it was (territorially) in Eastern Germany.

If you’re looking for Place des Arts metro station, following the overhead signs that say Place des Arts with the metro logo, is a good bet. If you had followed that overhead (Place des Arts) sign the first, second or third time you passed underneath it and showed it, you’d have gotten to PDA without circling around multiples times inside the Complexe Desjardins mall. The signs are actually indicative of how to get around the underground city. They’re worth reading

And like another commenter said, you can’t get to the McGill/Peel/Guy metro area of the underground city from the Place Des Arts area without actually taking the metro. The walkable tunnel connections are along the orange line of the metro and not along the green line. By the way the major complexes you were in, at the beginning we’re the Montreal World Trade Centre (Intercontinental Hotel) where these fument of the Berlin Wall was, then the Montreal Convention Centre (Palais des Congrés) and the federal government’s massive Guy Favreau office/mall Complex. Plus yes there are RESO signage all over those tunnels indicating which major buildings, malls and complexes you are approaching, and maps of the entire network.

In front of the world trade center ( piece of the Berlin wall) at the Square Victoria , you will also find the only Paris entrance metro outside Paris given to the city of Montreal for its 375 th birthday.
@m.boivin8671
@m.boivin8671 7 месяцев назад
This access to the Square Victoria station of the Montreal metro, inaugurated in February 1967, the year of Expo67, in Art Nouveau style, was offered by the city of Paris, to mark the collaboration of the two cities for the construction of the Montreal metro which, like the RATP Paris metro, runs on tires. It has nothing to do with the 375th anniversary of the founding of Montreal, celebrated in 2017. On the other hand, to mark the 350th anniversary of the Quebec metropolis, Paris offered Montreal the Obelisk located on Sherbrooke Street East, opposite Notre-Dame Hospital, which is part of the CHUM.

You summed this video up at the end by saying "I don't know what I am doing" On the good side it was hilarious!! My wife and I have travelled to Montreal recently and could have hired a guide dog to do better. To make it worse you are from Montreal. It is difficult to find the correct path sometimes but stepping outside "weather permitting" probably shows your destination across the road. You didn't know Des Jardin had a hotel on 3rd floor. Mmm? We return again in a week and if we see you we will offer help to find your destination.

The empty parts are not used much when it's still pleasant to walk out side , but in the Winter time , people use them, it's a cold country in Canada so they built lots of them, in other city like Calgary, they built bridges connecting from building to building a lot for people walking around in downtown core too .

Il me semble que lorsqu'on va nulle part, on trouve le chemin qui va nulle part... Si on regarde bien les gens affairés qui se déplacent dans ces lieux, ils semblent aller quelque part et cela est donc assez déterminant pour trouver son chemin. En résumé, si on veut se déplacer du point A au point B, le point A étant l'endroit de départ où on se trouve, il est impératif de déterminer le point B, l'endroit où on veut se rendre, si on veut obtenir la ligne qui réunit ces deux points; n'est-ce pas évident mon cher Watson ?

There oughta be some kind of Google Maps for the Montreal underground. Unfortunately, it's kind of random & sprawling. No one conceived/designed it as a whole entity. Rather, various commercial centres & transit hubs got linked up individually - each connecting tunnel was justified and financed for its own separate reasons. So don't look for any cohesive logic to the layout. :^/

Montréal's underground RESO is 32 km long, which could be a long walk. Fortunately, there is the metro between the main points of attraction, hotels, office and residential towers, shopping centers with some 25,000 boutiques and shops of all kinds. This underground network is the largest in the world and began in 1959, with the construction of Place Ville-Marie and the Gare Centrale downtown Montréal.The RESO even crosses the Saint-Laurent River via the yellow line of the metro towards Longueuil, where there are residential towers, the University of Sherbrooke and shopping centers.

La seule raison que je connais ces endroits esf parce que j'ai travaillé en Centre-ville. Chaque fucking fois que je dois utiliser Bonaventure je retrouve perdu. Je connais le clinique de radiologie à place Desjardins, je devais faire exrayé mon docteur m'a envoyé là.
