“Wellington Street continues to reinvent itself and Montrealers are there,” said Laura Osborne, publisher at Time Out Canada.
1.3 km long, Promenade Wellington became pedestrianized last June for the entire summer. It has a number of trendy restaurants, bars, cafes, terraces and family snack bars that make it a vibrant and lively street.
