Located towards the north end of St-Laurent Boulevard, this is the area where the first Italian immigrants settled in Montreal. The district is now crammed with shops, restaurants, social clubs, cafés and bars. There is a festival atmosphere year-round as businesses vie with one another to attract customers and the streets overflow with pedestrians. Take a stroll through Dante Park, where you will find families enjoying a day out, and card and bocce ball players focused on their game.
