Rue Sainte-Catherine
Montreal's main shopping street, running through downtown for about 11 kilometers, with department stores, brand-name shops and entrances to the Underground City.
Rue Sainte-Catherine runs east to west through downtown and is Montreal's main shopping street. In its western section, between Guy Street and Bleury Street, you'll find the Hudson's Bay department store, Simons, Eaton Centre and a range of brand-name stores, all connected to the Underground City. Further east it enters the Quartier des Spectacles and the Gay Village. In summer, the village's streets become pedestrian-only, with colorful installations hanging overhead. Window shopping is free, and most shops are open from 10:00 to 21:00. Peel, McGill and Berri-UQAM stations on the Green Line serve the street. Note that prices shown do not include the roughly 15% sales tax.
