Downtown has always been identified with Sainte-Catherine Street, Montréal's renowned commercial thoroughfare. Stretching for 15 kilometres across the city from east to west, the Street is lined with the major department stores, shops and restaurants that have been the pride of Montréal for more than a century. No fewer than nine métro stations (the green line running parallel) serve the Street, allowing visitors to discover diverse neighbourhoods as they travel along.
