This borough is the heart of the city and one of the liveliest neighbourhoods dotted with skyscrapers, shopping centres, businesses, restaurants and coffee shops. Although Ville-Marie is mainly known as a commercial, institutional and tourist borough, it includes a number of residential areas such as Old Montréal. Several neighbourhoods provide a good residential/commercial mix, with businesses on the ground floor and condos or apartments on the higher floors, or a combination of commercial and luxury residential buildings.
