To mark the 60th anniversary of Montreal’s metro, discover a heritage we pass through every day without always taking a closer look. From station to station, these tours along the Orange and Green lines reveal exceptional modern architecture, spaces designed to transform the travel experience, and a remarkable collection of artworks integrated into the network. From the first stations inaugurated in 1966 to the extensions of the 1970s, 1980s and 2000s, explore how architects, artists and engineers shaped a true underground landscape that reflects Montréal’s evolution.

Details

The tours are presented in partnership with Docomomo Québec as part of its 2026–2027 métro anniversary program.
