Montreal for The Three Generations: a Friday-to-Monday weekend

A flat waterfront walk with benches every fifty metres, the Ferris wheel on one side and the river on the other.

A glass-roofed river cruise with seats for everyone and no stairs; the guide points out Habitat 67 and the old harbour.

A restaurant on the 44th floor, reached by lift, with long tables and a city view; the burgers and the fish are both reliable.

Flat, covered routes and benches in every ecosystem; the tropical forest and the penguin pool are the highlights for all ages.

Smoked meat on rye at shared tables; arrive off-peak to avoid the line and ask for the fries.

A flat, covered market with benches and food at every corner; buy some maple cookies and sit under the awnings.

Lifts, wheelchairs and benches throughout; the permanent collection is free and the Pavilion for Peace has a quiet café.

A Portuguese restaurant with long tables and a family atmosphere; the grilled fish and the pastéis de nata are the order.

A flat downtown square with benches and the Sun Life Building; a short, sunny stroll before an early supper.

Flat inside with pews to sit on, an ultramarine vault and a quiet pace; the weekday hush suits a last family look.

A bakery café in Old Montreal serving pressed sandwiches and brownies; arrive before the queue builds, and share a table.

A flat pier with benches and a view of the river and the bridge; the gentlest last walk before the airport.
