Downtown Montreal is home to the world's largest underground city also known as RÉSO. All together there are 32 kms/19 miles of tunnels to explore. What is an underground city? It is a network of office towers, malls, restaurants, coffee shops, public transit stations, performing arts venues, a movie theater and other miscellaneous commercial buildings. It's a great way to shelter yourself from the weather while commuting to school or work. Once you get on the train/metro in the morning, you could be potentially be indoors up until the time you get to your stop on the way home. The best part is that you can pick up your coffee/tea/breakfast/lunch/dinner along the way.
Although some of the network is on ground level, most of it winds under the city by way of these tunnels. It is estimated that over 500,000 people use the network every day during the city's long winters. It is climate controlled, well-lit and is arranged in a U shape.

We are native Montrealers and thought we knew the tunnels well but were surprised by the extent of it. It took us a little over two hours to walk from Place-des-Arts to the Eaton Center. That is the main section of the network but it still branches off into many more subsections. Winters here are very cold and spring and fall are very rainy and this is a commuter city. We love our BMW (bus, metro, walk)!
