Architecture / Cité-du-Havre

Habitat 67

LOOK, DON'T ENTER

Safdie's stacked-concrete housing icon is a private residence; inside access is a Saturday-only guided tour.

From home: 37 min walk; 2.74 km, or 6 min by car
Spend: $$$$; est. $58 per person
Our dates: Trip-day hours unconfirmed; Give it 20-30 min for exterior viewing

The verdict

Our dates are Monday to Thursday, so the public tour is out. You can still see it from the Old Port waterfront side or by walking over to Cité-du-Havre, where it reads as a sculpture of stacked boxes. Worth a short architecture detour if you are already nearby; do not build a day around it. If you are obsessed with Safdie, a Monday private-group tour is possible on request, but that is a long shot for two people.

Why maybeInterior visits are not available on our Mon-Thu dates; exterior viewing only, worth a short detour.

What it costs

$$$$Est. $58 / person

Official FAQ: $58 taxes and fees included for the guided tour; under-12s free with a parent. Exterior viewing is free.

Our estimate from posted prices, CAD, before tax and tip. Québec purchases carry the 5% federal GST plus the 9.975% Québec Sales Tax (QST, TVQ in French): 14.975% combined on taxable items. Tourisme Montréal: it is customary to tip restaurant servers, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters and doormen generally get at least $2 per bag or service; coffee and food counters often have a tip cup by the register.

On our dates

Is it worth it?

Exterior only on our dates, so a quick look rather than a destination. Worth it only if combined with a waterfront walk.

Best time: Daylight
Time needed: 20-30 min exterior; tour is 90 min (Saturdays)
Cost: Free to view from outside; guided tour $58 (Saturdays, not on our dates)
Weather: Tours run in all weather per official page; exterior viewing is better on a dry, bright day.
This season: 2026 tour season runs April to November.
