Montreal is a photogenic city at every scale. The colourful walk-ups on the Plateau, the murals along Saint-Laurent, the cobblestones in Old Montreal, and the view from the Kondiaronk Belvedere are the obvious shots. But the spots on this list go beyond the postcard angles. These are the interiors, hidden corners, and light-catching spaces that reward anyone with a camera and a willingness to wander off the main streets.
