Attraction
Underground Pedestrian Network
Montreal, Quebec
CAN
Referred to by Montrealers as their “underground city”, the vast indoor downtown pedestrian network extends some 30 km (18 miles). The metro subway, suburban trains and bus lines are all interconnected. In fact, myriads of corridors stem from each subway station leading to a variety of buildings and commercial complexes. Over 500,000 people a day circulate in this indoor network, linking some sixty building complexes which collectively occupy 3.6 million sq. metres (4.3 million sq. yds) of floor space. Inaugurated in the sixties, Montréal’s underground city provides access to nearly 2,000 stores. A multitude of boutiques, major department stores, restaurants, cinemas, theatres and exhibition halls provide their services to the crowds using the pedestrian mall.
Open: October 7th to October 7th
