Description
View looking southwest on Blvd Rene Levesque Ouest; Downtown Montreal is the central business district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It lies at the foot of Mount Royal, a major urban park and popular tourist destination, and extends toward the Saint Lawrence River. The downtown area contains most of the city's skyscrapers--which, by law, cannot be greater in height than Mount Royal. The two tallest of these are the 1000 de La Gauchetière and 1250 René-Lévesque, both of which were built in 1992. Montreal is known for its contrast between old and new architecture.
