The verdict

Worth folding into a Plateau afternoon rather than a trip of its own. The festival crowds are long gone by October, so what you get is the permanent walls: Kevin Ledo's nine-storey Cohen at 3981 Saint-Laurent and the ASHOP Crew Jackie Robinson at Napoléon. Walls get repainted, so check before you build a route around one. Best for people already shopping or eating on the boulevard.

Why maybeFree and easy to combine with the boulevard, but only two named walls are confirmed, no October tours were found, and it is a short stop rather than a destination.

What it costs

$$$$Est. $0 / person

Walls viewed from the street. Tourisme Montréal describes Art Public Montréal self-guided tours as free; no cost stated on the mural pages themselves.

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.

Yes as a short add-on if you are already on Saint-Laurent; not worth a dedicated trip on a 4-day visit.
