USA - Day 37 - Montreal and Search for Underground City

Sunday morning walk through old town (before the crowds descended) and breakfast at a French bistro. Now in search of an entry to the Underground City which houses the Metro, food, shops and stretches for blocks under the streets of Montreal old town. Very popular with the locals in Winter. From the Notre Dame Basilica we walked a few blocks then around a corner we came across the Centre De Commerce Mondial. A local was going inside and said 'Yes, you can get to the underground inside, but check out this building first.'. He gave us great advice.

Saw it with my own eyes; they turned this fire engine into a narrow street and managed to miss all the cars by millimeters!
