At the foot of Mount Royal Park runs Sherbrooke Street, Montreal's most prestigious and majestic street, lined with grand 1920s buildings as impressive as any on Park Avenue. The oldest museum in Canada, the Museum of Fine Arts has a large permanent collection of European, Canadian and American art, as well as an extensive display of Eskimo artifacts. In the summer the square is transformed into an open-air market, and all year round you can sample the area's excellent cafes and restaurants. Practicalities Two international airports serve Montreal. Montreal also has excellent public transportation.
Taxis are moderately-priced compared to major U.S. cities.
Nice oyster bar, too. Return to US-2 across Canada.
