Ste-Catherine Street, the main drag for the fashion conscience and the serious trendies. Want edgy, take in “the Main”, Saint-Laurent Street, which has a wild mix of the stylish, the freakish, the fetishist – you get the picture. If you are interested in the exclusive, the classic, or the more traditional, try Sherbrooke Street from Guy to Montagne, Laurier Street west of Avenue du Parc, in Outremont and Les Ailes on St. Catherine. If you don’t want to brave the outdoors in a Montreal winter, then consider the thousands of shops in the “Underground City”, which includes Complex Les Ailes, the Eaton Centre, Les Galleries University, Cours Mont Royal, Place Montreal Trust and Place Ville Marie and more.
