A private mansion with a nice garden turned into a museum, a place where you can admire works from Turkish artists created between 1850 and 1950. There are also excellent collections of calligraphy, religious and state documents, classical Turkish furniture as well as paintings of the Ottoman era. The museum is beautifully located on a hilltop, overlooking the Bosphorus.

Old Montreal is the city’s oldest neighbourhood, where cobblestone streets, stone façades, and centuries-old buildings still set the pace. Be transported back in time as you wander past historic squares, churches, and former warehouses along the river. After visiting the Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History, walk through the area from Champ de Mars to Place d’Youville. Along the way are landmarks such as City Hall and Bonsecours Market, small museums, and public spaces, as well as cafés and shops tucked into historic buildings.

Art and nature intertwine in the spectacular setting of the Volcano House, managed by the César Manrique Foundation. Built into an old lava flow, this former home of renowned artist César Manrique offers a unique insight into his life and creative vision. The upper storey of this 3,000 square metre building showcases traditional Lanzarote architecture, while the lower storey is ingeniously built around five natural volcanic bubbles connected by tunnels. Marvel at the swimming pool, ballroom, and barbeque area, all surrounded by abundant plant life and striking basalt. The foundation houses an array of Spanish paintings and exhibition pieces, alongside fascinating photos, magazine articles, and audio clips that shed light on Manrique's life and artistic philosophy. Embrace the awe-inspiring blend of nature and creativity, and leave inspired by the harmony achieved in this remarkable volcanic abode.
