The eight distinctive walking tours in this compact, inexpensive guidebook bring the history of downtown Montreal to life. As they navigate among the city's great landmarks—from Peel Street to the Underground City—adventurous travelers will catch sight of such urban treasures as the birthplace of Russia's first McDonald's, a 36-foot cheese grater, and the hotel room where John Lennon and Yoko Ono composed "Give Peace a Chance." A host of easy-to-follow maps will ensure that travelers remain well oriented, and a series of vintage Montreal photographs will inspire city walkers and serve as great souvenirs back at home.
