Four days in Montreal leave time for its neighbourhoods. After the old city, the islands and a day of markets and street life from Jean-Talon Market to Sainte-Catherine Street, the fourth day starts at Saint Joseph's Oratory, walks by Beaver Lake (Mount Royal), visits the Gay Village and Chateau Ramezay, and ends on the waterfront at La Grande Roue de Montreal and the Clock Tower Quay and Beach.

Four days add the markets and neighbourhoods to the old city, the mountain and the islands: Jean-Talon Market, Mile End, the Plateau and the Latin Quarter on the third day, and Saint Joseph's Oratory, the Gay Village and the waterfront on the fourth.
Four days are usually enough for a first visit to the main sights and several neighbourhoods. The ready-made days do not include day trips outside the city.
A visit usually takes 60 to 120 minutes with the basilica and the crypt church, so the plan puts it first on the fourth day and walks on to Beaver Lake on Mount Royal. As of 3 Nov 2026.
