Mount Royal Park

Such stunning views over the whole city. Recommend visiting at sunset. The last of the sun's light is beautiful to watch as it disappears behind the buildings. Very easy to get there using the metro and number 11 bus which takes you straight up the mountain to the top. There are also some walk ways and a lovely interpretation centre with washrooms on site.

My favorite place during our trip to Montreal :) There are steps to climb up and an incline to bike up through. I thought the steps would be a lot more daunting but it was not bad climbing up at all even in pretty icey weather. Although I've seen some pictures before going, once we got to the chalet the view was very breathtaking! There is seating inside to rest and a little shop where you can get some coffee and warm up. If I get the chance I would definitely want to go back and see the view in different seasons

Beautiful Park with some great views! We went in the fall and the foliage was breathtaking. It was a gorgeous day so we weren't too hot or too cold. Definitely recommend doing even a short hike if you're visiting Montreal! We ended up being dropped off right near the viewpoint so our hike wasn't too long at all. You could do a steep long hike to the viewpoint, which I believe starts somewhere on Pike street.

Visited recently in winter which is a totally different landscape than summer. The whole experience was like walking in a winter wonderland and I wish I brought skiis! People who did will have an easier time getting around though walking is fine in winter boots. The less popular paths didn't have snow paved so just be careful. Views are beautiful with snow on the trees and paths. Very calming visit.

What a wonderful area. Designed by the creator of Central Park in Manhattan, the layout captures the majesty of the mountain in a gentlemanly layout perfect for a stroll or afternoon hike. If you visit check out the chalet-style observatory at the peak of the mountain for some incredible views of the Montreal Skyline.
