Montreal's new port

The new port of Montreal is one of the main attractions of the Canadian city. It is the largest port in Canada. It was built on the St. Lawrence River. The first mention of it dates back to 1611, when local merchants used it as a trading post. More than two thousand ships visit the port of Montreal every year, including cruise ships and large merchant ships. The port is divided into two parts - old and new.

In the new part of the port of Montreal, many festivals, exhibitions and excursions are held. Here they ride bicycles, Segways, roller skates. Not far from here, a sandy beach and a boat station were opened. Every two years, on the seafront of Montreal’s new port, Cirque du Soleil launches premieres of new productions.
