Montréal neighbourhood: Discover Rosemont

Getting there is a snap

Getting in and out of Rosemont is easy, and given its size there’s several transport options available.

🚇 The Montréal métro’s orange and blue lines cross through the neighbourhood, including the namesake Rosemont Station, Beaubien Station, Fabre Station and D’Iberville Station. Each station features unique architectural and public art touches also worth a closer look.

🚍 Over 20 bus routes serve the area, including the 197 Rosemont, which runs directly between Rosemont and Langelier métro stations.

🚲 The world-renowned BIXI bike-share system are a preferred local method of travel, offering both regular and e-bikes available to visitors. Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie features over 80 stations, one of the highest numbers for any neighbourhood in Montréal.

🚘 Both paid and free parking is available throughout the quartier, but we’d suggest paying close attention to the signs posted. Free parking spots may also be unavailable at certain times in the week due to street cleaning schedules.

Open park spaces are a vital part of Montréal’s DNA, and Rosemont features some of the city’s most vibrant outdoor community hubs.

• The Jardin botanique – Espace pour la vie is considered one of the world’s biggest and most beautiful botanic gardens, home to over 22,000 plant species. The indoor greenhouses are tropical all-year-round, and the Japanese garden offers one of Montréal’s quietest spots for contemplation and relaxation.
• Parc Maisonneuve is one of Montréal’s largest, featuring meandering walking and biking trails, a nine-hole municipal golf course and a troupe of sheep trimming the grass in the summer months.
• Parc Molson is the definition of a neighbourhood park, including a picturesque historic bandstand and restaurants, shops and an art-house cinema at its borders.
• Parc de la Petite-Italie is Little Italy’s preferred spot for rest and relaxation, perfect for a warming beverage and snack stop.

Bustling shopping streets

Some of Montréal’s best shopping can be found in Rosemont, featuring a high concentration of locally owned boutiques.

• Promenade Masson is home to over 150 businesses, from bookstores to bike shops, locally-produced fashion shops to gourmet food stores.
• The outdoor shopping Plaza Saint-Hubert runs along Saint-Hubert Street between Bellechasse Street and Jean-Talon Street East, covered by a glass canopy to ward off inclement weather.
• Saint-Laurent Boulevard, christened “The Main” by locals, runs through Rosemont and Little Italy, home to chic bistros and vintage stores well worth exploring. 
• With over 400 local brands lining its shelves, the charming Toutes les choses parfaites guarantees the perfect gifts for those back home—and a few things for yourself too.

Montréal loves its public markets, and the Jean-Talon Market is the grandest of all. Opened in 1933, the market brings together gourmet shops, local farmers and cheesemakers all in one place. Charming cafés and bakeries circle the main halls, and the market’s outdoor offerings change with the seasons. From fresh plants in the spring to Christmas trees in the winter, it’s well worth a visit any time of year.

Some of Montréal’s most classic venues call Rosemont home, and the district offers a wealth of music, comedy, theatre and cinema to suit any taste.
