30 routes — editor-walked, or clearly flagged until they are.

Montreal on foot: the escaliers of Plateau-Mont-Royal, cobbled Old Montreal, and the Lachine Canal path through Saint-Henri, all on one map.

Montreal is a city built for the legs before the wheels — an island you read on foot, in two languages. Climb Mont-Royal for the whole grid at once, then come down into the escaliers of Plateau-Mont-Royal, the bagel-scented mornings of Mile End, the canal walk past Saint-Henri and Little Burgundy. Come in winter and it simply keeps going, underground.

No leaderboards, no algorithm — just the walks the editor thought were worth your time, with notes on what to actually look at along the way.
