Montréal's metro stations are filled with works of art, and lots of them are architecturally interesting, too. Materials most used are steel, ceramics, and concrete, which has been used in a sophisticated way. Here's a tour:
We will start at Bonaventure, where the central railway station (Gare Centrale) is and head for the best stations first. The most artistic and architecturally interesting stations are on the south-western branch of the Green Line, the north-western branch of the Orange Line, and on the Blue Line.
So from Bonaventure we'll take the Orange Line up to Lionel-Groulx and change to the Green Line (direction Angrignon). When we come back to Lionel-Groulx, we continue on the Orange Line, then change to the Blue Line at Snowdon and change back to the Orange Line at Jean-Talon. At Berri-UQAM we ride the short Yellow Line and return, then change to the Green Line and go to Honoré-Beaugrand and back to Peel. There's an underground shopping mall connecting Peel with Bonaventure where we started.
