Bonsecours Market

Located in Old Montreal, this two-story market hall is characterized by its distinctive silver dome. Originally the district's central market for over a century ago, the building also served as the Parliament of the United Province of Canada in 1849. Today, it functions as a commercial space where visitors can browse local crafts, art, and boutiques within a historic architectural setting.

Getting There

The market is situated in the historic Old Montreal district. From the city centre, it is accessible via the metro (Place-d'Armes station) followed by a short walk, or by taxi/ride-share. The journey typically takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on the starting point and traffic.

Suggested Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to walk through the hall and explore the various shops and galleries.

When to Visit

The market is open throughout the year. It can get crowded during peak tourist seasons and on weekends. Visiting during weekday mornings generally offers a quieter experience.
