Reviews of Mount Royal Park (Tourist Attraction)

Dan Drago

Beautiful hike and gorgeous views of the city and river.

Nicole W

Spectacular view of Montreal from here. You can drive or just climb some stairs to get to the top. I was there in the mornng after a snowstorm and it is a fairly easy mountain to go. Though the snow was a bit thick which made it hard to find the trail, the path to the top isn't long at all (around 45 minutes for a first time visitor I guess). A reminder is to wear boots for snowy days. I didn't wear a snowboot cause I only brought one pair of shoes with me and my feet were soaked with snow. Other than that there is no reason for not going there honestly. Easy to go and great view. Pick a day with good weather and blue sky. Definitely worth it !

Benjamin Duff

Avoid the main paths and you'll have a much better time, there's loads of smaller trails winding through here that allow you to get away from the crowds, they tend to be smaller and more natural as well. Unfortunately there's not many viewing points to get a photo over the city, so you'll have to elbow your way through to get a good snap

Jairzinho Vasquez

Very nice place to go for a walk, jogging or biking, has a perfect view of the city

D Kourt

If you're coming to Montreal make sure to make a stop here as you'll get a great view of the city.

Chanez Az

The best place to be if you want to relax surrounded by nature on a beautiful day

James Gunn

We are really enjoying our new city. Mount Royal is a great park in the summer. We are excited to see what it offers in the winter, as well.

Eric Thomas

Great place to enjoy nature and enjoy the Montreal Skyline. Quite the hike up to the peak though!

Selena B. Beaupre

Looks lovely I've been walking there 4 times a week for months to gain back my health I recommand the raccoons are so nice

Marko Krsmanovic

Amazing lookout! You can see the whole east Montreal from there

Emily Arean

Lovely falls and park.

Natalie Dawn Jensen

Great park for picnic, relaxing, music, hiking, yoga and any other outdoor activity.

Mahreen Kazi

Good place to walk, take pictures and not to forget get scenic view of entire Montreal

Ben Z

Amazing park for being in the middle of a city. Good trails for waking and even skiing and ice skating.

Andrew Urban

Very awesome place to overlook Montreal. There is plenty of parking. And it's about a 10 minute walk to an amazing overlook. A in

Pablo Castillo

Nice park with lake, viewpoints, kids playground. Great for hanging outvor doing sports (walking, biking, jogging)

Israa Hilles

is a large intrusive rock hill or small mountain in the city of Montreal, immediately west of Downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The best-known hypothesis for the origin of the name Montreal is that the name is taken from Mount Royal ????

Vishnu Vijayan

A very beautiful place. Nice little trek and an awesome lake.

maitland roblee

So many trails and great views on this beautiful mont Royal. right in the beautiful city of Montreal. Great experience for the whole family including fur babies.

suhib alazeeh

Love this place, brings alot of memories. They should do something with the stairs because if its snowing. It gets really dangerous climbing them.

Sulu B

Beautiful park, trails for walking, jogging, cycling. Excellent viewpoints.

Annie Yang

Huge park right in the heart of Montreal. There's lots of trails, bike paths, and even cross country skiing in the winter. The pond at south of the mountain is really nice if you want to have a picnic or just enjoy the nice weather. The chalet can get a little crowded but the view at the top is very nice. You see the Downtown Montreal skyline, the water, and bridges. This park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (who also co-designed New York City's Central Park) and the park is just beautiful.

Aravamudan Srivatsan

We loved our fall walk on this park with our two dogs. A must go for all nature lovers

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

Really nice park on Mount Royal. Some call this area Beaver Lake. Park has gotten some huge upgrades recently.

Marianna Salii

One of the best parks in Montreal! A mountain, a lake, trees, springs and groundhogs all in one place) Very good trails for hiking, jogging, cycling and skiing in winter. Beautiful in every season! Can be crowded on weekends in good weather, especially the lookout and the ladder to it. Not impressed by the food in the Chalet, though. Oh, and there are cormorants on the lake))

Brijesh Patel

Breathtaking view from top of the Mount Royal, you can get a chance to see whole Montreal city, very crowded but if you find a spot near wall then worth the visit.

Girish Kumar

Awesome place to relax and a great picnic spot.

Ian August

Amid the stress brought on by the pandemic, it is nice to have an outdoor location to enjoy nature within the city.

Dominique

Great for picnic, dogs allowed on leash, great views, public restrooms, and small easy hikes.

Stephen Spencer

Mandatory hike every time we're in Montreal. It's a great family outing and our dog loves it. There's are several ways to go to. The main trail sees a lot of cyclists so watch out.

Rana Siroosian

I have no words to describe this place. It is beyond beautiful at night. Just walk up there and the whole world would be underneath your feet. Make sure you take water with you if your walking up.

Helen Grace

I love the serenity and view of this park. Lots of shades and trees.

Florence Elasigue

Beautiful Overlooking Montreal Plenty of parking and washrooms are tidy! Great way to spend time here!

Michael Metzen

Beautiful recreational location within the city. There are a couple of activities for every age you can do during the winter season like cross country skiing, ice skating, sledging and more. Equipment can be rented on site. There is also a cafe that has hot and cold beverages.

Jing Lu

One of the best spot to see Montreal cityscape! This is one of the places that I bring all my visitors to when they come to Montreal for the first time or many time thereafter. I just love the views of the city and St Lawrence river. The terrace is big and always exuberant, great spot to relax, chill out in the summer.

Chantal Clabrough

As a Montrealer walking on the mountain never gets old, is beautiful and clean and enjoyable seeing so many locals and tourists alike enjoying this park by the same designer as Central Park in NYC.

Kevin Massabni

Green space, BBQs, boat rentals, restaurant, paid parking, walking…

Tyler Barberian

Mont Royal is absolutely amazing! I was recently here in February and there were hundreds of people out running, walking, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking and more! in the summer there are THOUSANDS enjoying just as many outdoor activities as well as all the amazing festivals. Enjoy views over the entire city and across the river! the views are amazing,

Saleem Butt

A place which reminds you the past and glorious history of Montreale

Betty

Went for a nice hike/walk during the winter. There were many activities for all ages. Tobogganing/tubing cross country skiing, snowshoeing, skating, walking and you can bring your dogs for a nice walk. I haven't been during the summer, but I can only imagine how nice it would be as well. The staff were very nice and answered questions I had.

Kate

There were hundreds of stairs to get to the top from peel street it was clean. People were chilling with the barbecue around the lake. the most peaceful scenery evern seen in Montreal.

Enrique Silva Z

One of the most incredible views I've ever seen in a city. It's totally worth the 45 minutes that it took me to get to the summit, but I went on winter and apparently it was one of the coldest, so many paths were closed. In normal conditions it should be easier. I'm definitely coming back in summer.

Harsh mehta

Just Awesome!!????

Ryad R

It's an amazing park in the middle of the city , you forget you're in the heart of the city , it has all, the view to downtown, the trees , the lake, you can hike for hours. You can access the park from multiple entries, if you want to make it simple, just use the parking and you're good. Don't hesitate to explore, there is way more than it appears, donc stop only at the city view, go to lac des castors , you can paddle there. Beautiful park in the city , to visit !

Olga O

Beautiful park and view point. Perfect for a picnic and walking tour. The view from there is amazing!

NIZAR Z.

It's a great spot to see the city of Montreal. It is was foggy and rainy that day...

M D

What's not to love? Giant park within downtown reach, beautiful Belvedere spots, gorgeous setting in all seasons (yes, including winter!!!), Wildlife, sculptures, biking and hiking options, crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, small museum, perfect picnic setting, classical music orchestras playing in the summer (check these activities out!!), Picture worthy views, well maintained park.... It's truly a must see for any tourist visiting the city and for any bored local. Go at sunrise or sunset with your SO for a special evening. :) Highly recommended.

Orange L

Beautiful place. For all, younger, older, active runner or just walk. Easier or harder trails. View from the top...amazing.

Tasneem A

Love to stop here whenever I'm in Montreal. Exceptionally beautiful at night. Drive up ( there is a walking path, but it's long and can be difficult for some) and have some hot chocolate)/iced coffee while enjoying the view. Is it worth it? Yes.

yotexplico canada

I was really surprised with all the things they have added to the park, it looks pretty noce and as clean as always a very good place to bring people for the first time they know montreal, but a very good place to enjoy the view of the city too

Smail Taghzout

An amazing place for a walk, a run, a picnic, a day with family. You can get food, sweets, and bring your own BBQ, even charcoal. There are charcoal bins everywhere. I highly recommend it. Parking is not free

Harsha Lanka

It looks good when we visit with your friends or family..Nice place to spent some quality time around there.

Safwan Kamal

An amazing place to visit. Must see. There's a fantastic view of the city once you get at the top. Difficult to get a good photo spot since everyone is taking photos but some people are considerate and will move on and let you take a photo. Some people have tripods during dusk so they wouldn't be moving. The walk from the car park isn't that bad. There are raccoons on the way that kids will love. There's a piano in the open at the top so you can play it, if you want, once you're done taking photos and enjoying the city skyline.

Luis Davila

Beautiful experience, it is a awesome place to stay in the afternoon, we can prepare food and walk around the lake.

JJ Harrison

What a great veiw of Montreal's skyline!

Josh Kim

Beautiful park and walking trails! Loved the views here~ :)

Jennifer Saundercook

An amazing place with a stunning view. Worth the hike. My sister and I always frequent Mount Royal when visiting Montréal.

Dharini A

Not very full grass to sit on, bring a blanket. But very peaceful. Great trails for walking.

Morgan Creelman

Wicked view, great for taking pictures or just looking at the scenery.

Marek Adamkiewicz

Super Park right in the middle of the city. Always fun to be here.

Hao Dam

A lovely park with a fairly moderate climb to the summit for a breathtaking panoramic view. At the top there's are toilets and cafe, though it was closed when I visited. Not far from the viewing point there is the cross that lights up in the evening. Would recommend to come here to get away from the bustling city and for a great view at the top.

Madhusudanan Raghavan

Absolutely a must see location in Montreal!

Nu Dub (indipride)

hot chocolate tasted like powder and water. not worth 6$ parc is amazing though

yasaman ezazi

Lovely park. The only issue is that there is no cafe or proper washroom up there since Covid. So bring some snacks or drinks if you want to stay longer. There are mobile washroom cabins in the area.

maryam farokhmehr

You have to pay for the parking there. Its a calm place near the stressfull area of downtown. You can allways count on finding a parking there. But if you have a metro card, come with bus. There are a lot of people running here everyday. Sometimes people come here after graduation party. Or sometimes after wedding party.

Mahbub Islam Shakiell

Liked the place, nice abs clean and got a great view of the Montreal.

manu v

Such a beautiful view from up here

Alec

Very nice place, if you come to Montreal you have to visit this place, fun fact the beaver lake doesnt have beavers.

Shlomo Levi

Wonderful Place to visit for the aesthetics, the beauty and all the health benefits of walking, including up and down so many steps. I never heard so many people breathing out load for going up the stairs. then you can take a good rest and get all the photos you want. the view is just breath taking. You can just get to any area of the park, by bus and just keep walking.

Marcella

Great scenic location for walks and enjoying the city views

Shivji Bindas

Great experience, must do I went there in winter time totally fun tracking. City View from Chalet is worth it. Beautiful scenic Montreal in summation

mahesh wani

Pretty amazing views from The top; I guess a checklist place if you visit Montreal. If you are a hiker, take the stairs to climb up all the way. It’s a beautiful experience. It is very centrally located to downtown also so I suggest doing this one in the morning time so that you can freely move around the city for the rest of the day.

Shahpar Allawala

It's nothing short of majestic. Definitely recommend it. Few key things to note: -Getting in and out of the mountain can take time as there is construction going on (as of August 2019) -Parking can be tight on weekends and evenings also there is a fee to park with a $11 max rate -Bring your own snacks as the food place on the viewing platform is sub-par -The sunset is breathtaking

Andrea Zotelli

Fantastic place to visit in Montreal. Scenic views, astonishingly beautiful. Loved it, mainly when it's fall. Be patient though. It's usually crowded. Avoid driving there. Use the transit, which is fast and you will be able to enjoy more all the views along the way.

Davi Soares

Amazing place to have a walk and play with friends winter sports.

Marcio Risso

The Park is a super attraction in the city, a huge green area just a few minutes from downtown. During the spring and summer, when visited, is a quite nice place to play sports, walk around or just rest. The view of Montreal city is definitely gorgeous.

Sharad Singh

A must go place! Unfortunately the observatory was closed, but the views are amazing. Strongly recommend going there for a walk..

linh ta

Very nice park to walk around. I didn't have a lot of time to take in the whole park but the pond is very calming. So pretty once dusk rolls around. Would be great to pack a picnic and just chill on the grass.

MrDebauch

Pretty nice once you get passed the mediocre parking situation and the mud... And the construction detours

My Boo For Life

A must see this is best view of the city. Take the metro to Mount Royal Station, and the bus 11 up the mountain. Walk about .7km and you're there.

Partha Mazumder

love walking around this parc which aussi offer magnificent view of the city. in winter cross country skiing, snow shoeing I must

Alex Sportster

An embarrassment to the city. The chalet at the lookout smells of sewage. Beaver lake has constant algae growing across the whole surface. Really disgusting embarrassment for tourists and locals alike. Why can't this be fixed???

Vikram Karandikar

Excellent view of Montreal city. In summer use sunscreen and umbrella. The walk from parking is not long and has many trails that you can enjoy.

Soumia Allalou

Such a lovely place to catch the sunset and an amazing view of the city. It's a must visit for tourists. There's also many trails for long walks.

Lys Mk

Indeed a Royal mountain ⛰... Beautiful scene of downtown and you can see the sunset ????.

Ron F

Such quiet escape from the bustling streets below. On any given summer day you will find locals hanging out here with a good book. And in winter, beautiful skating rinks.

M S

One of the beautiful parks in Montreal and my favourite. You get the amazing view that should every one appreciate Very clean atmosphere Various activities can be done here, running, skiing in winter, barbecue in summer, watching the view , taking pictures .... Ext

Elnaz Yousefzadeh

Spectacular scenery with lots of fun. It is better to be there for sunrise or sunset. For me, it can be said as the "eye of Montreal".

H Lopes

great natural place a winter wonderland

Neha S

Hiked to this place from the entrance of McGill University. It was so rewarding to finally be able to get the city view on a bright sunny chilly (oxymoron lol) day.

Mehdi Si Moussa

Beautiful park in any season. For a walk or jogging or a BBQ. Great spot of nature in Montreal!

Ty Yilmaz

Beautiful view of the city. Vibrant park, lots of atmosphere. Loses points for having zero lighting under darkness, unless their aim was broken ankles on the staircase...

Pablo Novas Perez

Spectacular place to go to see the city of Montreal from the top of the mountain. I recommend doing the ascent route on foot or by bike, for the adventurous. So you can test your physical resistance. There are also public buses that transport it.

Anthony K

Great views, must see.

Trudy Stewart

Stunning, wear comfortable shoes as this park is huge, parking for the day is $12 definitely a family reunion kind of park lots to do in regards to outdoor activities. Enjoy and be safe as there is a pond and it is on a cliff

David San Antonio (Davsan56)

Amazing views of the city! A must go when visiting Montréal. There is also a little lake at the bottom where you can rent canoes. It’s also a good spot to sit and just relax.

scott gottfried

This is a beautiful park, not too much parking though. It has a pond and a nice mountain climb, that leads to the Balcony!! If you want to keep climbing, you then reach La Croix, or the Cross!!

Loulou's Picture

Surely one of the best place to hang out, hike, ski, skate or whatsoever in Montreal. Just wonderful view on top.

Leigh Bogardis

Always something different to see if you look closely enough. The light in the trees, the local fauna and the people. Barbecues, birthdays and BMXers. Start at the Krondiaronk overlook (mind the construction until February 2022) and admire the jewel that is Montreal city before heading up to the cross, recalling De Maisonneuve then finally relax at Beaver Lake.

Arjun Kapadiya

Definitely worth the "hike". Let's be honest. It's less of a mountain and more of a large hill, but the sights it provides is absolutely amazing. Go during the weekday evenings so you can see the twinkling lights of downtown. There are washrooms BEHIND the large building - you have to go down a few steps. If you walk along the path, you can walk past the observation deck, and into a large open grass field - perfect for groups or couples who want peace and quiet.

Reinhart Gruhn

Must see in Montréal, awesome. Nice walks in the shadow of the park, pretty walk downstairs to the city.

Beatriz Cóbreces

Perfect place to get a break from the city!

Matthew Hamilton

Lovely well maintained trails with hundreds of routes to choose from. Right in the city centre so very accessible. Being the tallest point in Montreal means you get some lovely views too, the lookouts are lovely and I can imagine a sunset / sunrise would be lovely from this location, try to get up there when that's happening!

Kristina Rose

Beautiful area. Can use different trails amazing view when you reach the top. I didnt feel safe with some cyclist going too fast in a popular pedestrian area tho. But I highly recommend this place.

Manuel R Avila

This place has without a doubt the best view of downtown Montréal. Besides that, you can learn of the city's history and enjoy a hot chocolate by the warmth of a cozy fireplace during winter.

Scott Cortenbach

Great place to relax or excercise all year round. Great views of the city and easy access from most parts of downtown

Pradhyum Khandelwal

It's a Beautiful place to spend your time with your friends and family. It's a place where you see nature at its best and view the city full of technology.

Darshan Shah

Classic view of the city .We went on a rainy day it was good but If you go on a sunny day you will love it .

Rob Landon

So busy! But so much to see and do. The trails are awesome and everywhere, or just make your own, like some people do. Last one up the mountain's a loser! The chalet at the top has magnificent architecture, and the view over Montreal takes the breath away, everytime.

Crystal Tan

Lovely place, we were there in November, and so lucky that to see snow in November. Happy ????????️❄️⛄

wynne p

What can beat the view of montreal from the many look outs on mont royal. Such a great gathering spot.

Scott Koeppel

Must visit if you are in Montreal. Excellent views of the city and easy trails. Great way to start your vacation in this wonderful city.

Abdul Hakkeem

Wow!!! Its really a super place to spend ur time with family. U can plan for one day picnic too. Good place for kids to enjoy after the winter. There is view point where u can see the whole downtown city. Big Play area for kids.

I S

Beautiful place all year round. Autumn leafs are definitely beautiful. Summer time picnic is great. And winter time, you see kids on sleighs and adults enjoying cross country skiing. Definitely the heart of the city.

M H

Such a beautiful space and the fall colors we're exquisite!!!

Thierry N

Loved the view from this place. The walk or run up is completely worth it. There are a couple levels. One overlooking Montréal, the second is the cross, the third is a tower of some kind, there is a rock before reaching the summit with a nice sunset view, and lastly there is the summit with another tower. Had fun with my family and great exercise. Completely recommend it and everyone can go at their own pace.

Gurdeep Singh

The view of the city is exceptionally good and there's always good vibes going around, if u wanna chill out in peace its one of the best place to go.

Kshitij Bari

Amazing place to visit, breathtaking beauty. Must visit in fall.

Mirai High and

One of the best night view in north America. You can easily get here by Bus 11 from Mont royal metro station. From Remembrance / Chemin du Chalet bus stop, it takes 5 minites to reach the deck on foot. The path to the deck is almost flat and lightened.

Susmita Bose

Loved the place. The beautiful lake was serene to the eyes.

Antti Koskela

It's a great haven of peace in the middle of Montreal, just a quick walk away from downtown. The "mountain" is not tall, but it's still a bit of a climb of you're walking the whole way. Stairs and paths are mainly in very good condition, though! Parking is a bit expensive and the chalet at the top is not very good - but the park is great for a picnic!

Mohammed Dagamseh

Great place for enjoying sunrise and sunset. Great place for walking around the lake and the mount. You can see large parts of Montreal whe you reach the Mountain top. I love this place , Summer and Winter

Marie-Anne Lovighi

Any Season is beautiful on Mount Royal. Not to be missed when visiting Montreal

Sper Main

The view is the best of Montreal but neither "espectacular" Specially we dont understand why this hill is called a "Mountain". Beautiful building, it consists of s hughe hall. There is a little cafeteria in the back but they only got a very small variety of choiced. We missed hotwine st this cold time of the year in such a place! Also it would be nice, specially for the older visitors, if there would be some more seating possibilities..like couches with loungetabled!

gaurav verma

Nice for little excursion , good for relaxation. Amazing views.

Eric Guerra-Grenier

Simply put: Mount Royal Park is to Montreal what the Amazonian forest is to our planet.

Ed B

What a place! No photos could pass the real experience of being there. Wonderful place and amazing views

Kayla C.

Very large and nice area to visit! I enjoyed seeing Montreal city from up high to view the landscape. There is a cafe as well, which is not to bad, but wished there was more options in the menu.

biswajit chatterjee

Reachable from any part of Montreal..you can walk down from Mon Royal chalet to Peel avenue via stairs,even winters,though one has to be more careful

Alex Yaguana

Perfect place for family and friends. Good areas for picnic!

Sivakumar Vijayakumar (rvsiva17)

It was great to have a quick hike to get a scenic beauty of Montreal ❤️

Masoud M

Mount Royal has always something to offer even in the middle of brutal winter to the heart of hot summer. In my opinion cross country ski is the best of all activities you can do. Cheerful faces are real mood changer and beautiful vista points on top of the mountain are attracting all the time. This park is the immortal key characteristic of Montreal.

Ammar Zia

Go to spot for a nice panoramic view of Montreal. Chose an evening with a clear sky to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Gets super busy due to popularity.

Kathleen Brown

Not really a mountain, but an enormous hill that was left by the city as a natural park – well worth a few hours of our 3 day summer visitt to Montreal. While many get to the top by driving or tour bus, we hiked, beginning at the popular starting point, off Avenue des Pins and Peele Street near the north part of McGill campus.

Shawn Tinlin

Beautiful spot with great views of the city. A bit of a hike but there are options to make the trek a bit easier. It is well worth the trip.

Ayser R Almufleh

The best park to spend quality time with your family,lots of winter activities, tubing, cross country,ice skating...and more , you can rent the equipments there by the Lake

Damian Simon Peter

The top of the mountain has a great view of the Montreal. Definitely recommend. If you are driving here, you can find paid parking very close or drive to the top of the mountain and park for free

R. D.

Nice park with plenty to visit. You can take a canoe, camp, hike.

Keywan Hodaei Esfahani

Middle of the city, great place to walk and relax. Kids can easily go along the paths with adults. Great view of downtown if you are at the right place.

Rosa Isela

Amazing area to spend a family day even during the winter.

Patrick Bergeron

Breathtaking! We are all so fortunate to have this incredible mountain right in the heart of our city. The lake, trees, paths the lookout. It's the perfect place to escape to and reenergize even just for a moment.

Kristen Beigay

Beautiful lookout and loads of trails, we didn't have much time to use the trails but enjoyed the lookout!

Anita Sahu

Amazing views of Montreal, must visit ????????

Patrick Edmund

Beautiful place to see the city of Montreal. Trails was nice too

Torogi on the Move

A nice place to walk and jog. You can view the stunning downtown Montreal.

Chenthuran Jayachandiran

Just gorgeous! Must visit if you are in Montreal! Beautiful places to walk, great views, ample parking.

PIX XX

Great views of the city all year round. Bring a picnic or try the food on site... basic stuff. Great hiking spot with lots of trails. Parking is not free. Lots to do no matter the weather. Do not recommend walking up the road from the bottom though... can be dangerous with cars busses and cyclists all sharing the space

Jennifer Luo

We had a great time. We went ice skating, but there are so many family friendly options.

Gregor Mohoric

A great walk on the hill over the city. Great lookout point! Many photo opportunities.

Michael Kuehne

Stunningly good views of the city below and an extensive trail system await you at Mount Royal Park. You just always pay for parking regardless where you park, but do yourself a favour and park near the cemetery then walk the 15 minutes higher to a large viewpoint - very lovely. There are washrooms at the large viewpoint as well.

Dovid Gross

It’s really nice place to go out for the day and great views and great parses

HelloKtine 01

The park to go for all types of hikers, for tourist, for the #montrealaise who wants to go for bbq, picnic. Just enjoy the sun, enjoy the beautiful color of the leaves. ❤

Charbel Abou Naccoul

One of the best parks in Montréal. Must visit this park that was designed by the same designer of Central Park in New York. A lake, a great view of Montreal, a nice place to walk your dog, ride a bike, have a walk, or just chill on the grass. In winter, that lake becomes a nice ice skating place as well! Definetely a must for anyone living and viaiting Montreal!

David Halley Ponce Lopez

Great place to exercise, walk, bird watching, connect with nature and have fantastic views of the city

D C

Parking sucks and it was kinda confusing. Park was nicely situated in the heart of montreal. Had easy steps to get to the top and there are paths for running/walking/biking. Easy hike. Chalet had seats and gift shop as well as bathrooms. It has a breathtaking view of the city at the top.

Rahman Hafez

I enjoyed the experience a lot And Montréal looks charming from the top

Sasha H

Most beautiful park. We got a bit lost as it was a blizzard the the trails were covered. The view from the Chalet was world class

Rajesh Muppaneni

Must visit place if you are going on a trip to Montreal. Been there twice and it’s been amazing both times. You will not get a better view of Montreal city from anywhere else. Sunset is the best time to go there.

Denis Roches (Fitcoachdenis)

Really great place to unwind alone or with friends just enjoy to view. Much better at sun down or sunrise. Whether you’re in your car or outside. Due to these day and age it’s getting harder to stay inside

Andreea Constantin

Lovely park in the heart of Montreal. Family-friendly. Good for hiking and picnic.

May Nguyen

Always love it here. I come here to take photos a lot, avoid crowds by going right by sunrise and sunset.

pathik patel

Better for summer visit , can spend the whole day sitting ther due to the amazing peace of mind we get here .

Olivier Madel

A place a of even in Montreal. We didn't visit everything, there is still so much to see. Happily for us we’re going to have the time to do that. The view of the city is great and on a hot day, walking in the wood feel so ????.

Yair Hirschfeld

Great park to ride your bike. The riding to the top is a challenge but you don't need to be a pro to make it (you can also drive there). I spent around 3 hours there. You can also bike or hike to see Saint Joseph's Oratory lacated on Mt Royal

Mamun Ahmed

Very nice place to visit. But be very careful of the parking spot. There is a big Stone right infront of the parking machine. And I had a vig scratch in my car beacuse of these. This is such a irresponsibility of the parking authority. Please guys be careful of this stupid stone.

Discover MyBusiness

This is a beautiful place, DiscoverMyBusiness want to thanks everyone to handle such a good job to clean this park.

Seung

This location provides a perfect city view of Montreal. Great hiking trails nearby and a perfect location to have a stroll with your kids.

Mark Mckessock

Mount Royal park offers an absolutely stunning panoramic view of the city that is relatively easy to access. It only takes a couple hundred stairs to access a lookout point that will knock you socks off.

Aolin Chen

Good place for short hiking and a great view of the city

Utsav Sharma

It is a beautiful place amidst the city but still further away from the downtown. I wouldn't have guessed such a place existed in the middle of Montreal !! It's serene and amazing to be there. The lake is beautiful and one can spend the entire day just looking around and not get bored of it... But I just missed my dog... He would have loved it entirely and gone crazy in the entire area... But I missed him anyway ????

Craig Joseph

Definitely worth the drive or the hike. Great, sweeping views of the city.

Kevin Buehler

Great park and so many trails to explore. Well worth the time to visit.

Tudor Parau

Wonderful parc and a superb view on the city.

Sandesh Ganji

2021 chalet is under construction. Please plan accordingly when u wear a good thermal during winters.

Daniel Grozdanov

This place is so magical! An oasis in the city all year round!

Sarthak Rohatgi

Beautiful view of the city and today's weather made it wonderful. A must visit place in Montreal.

Ali H

Very nice place for who would like to enjoy the scene of Montreal. Car park is available and washroom as well.

Aditya Bikkani

Really nice view from the top. A must visit if you're one for outdoors/parks when in Montreal. Some nice trails to hike up to the summit. There's a lake as well, but we didn't have enough time to check it out. Definitely coming back. There is paid parking in various areas. We parked next to the Smith House which was a 5 min walk to the chateau.

Aniket Bindu

Best place to go for a morning or evening walk. It's a small hill situated at the center of the city. You can have a breathtaking view Montreal downtown. Open almost till 11 pm. Car goes upto the top of hill

Jacky V.

Always nice in any season. If you can go on weekdays, you get to avoid crowds of humans.

Alex Rodriguez

Bring clothes used to work out cuz you WILL sweat, I don't care how fit you are. Lovely walk up a trail with various paths that lead to a spectacular view of the city.

Frank Meng

A great spot to see skylines in any reason!

K Lao

A great place for hiking and photography!

Elsa Buendia Beneda

Awesome! Fantastic view of the city of Montreal! It's worth the 369 steps up to the view deck!and you will feel the fresh air!

Félix Chiasson

Long trek up top, but absolutely worth it. Nice and green. Good place to wind down after climbing lots of stairs. You can also canoe inside Lake Castor - never tried it but it seems popular.

Prudhvi Lanka

It's one of the Best places in montreal... You must visit this place in all the seasons Coz it's special in every season... Marvellous views...???? ????

Prince Sekhon

Love being here. It's just so mesmerizing! The hike is great. The trails are wonderful. The sunset is great here. Gives the best view of the city. I wish they had some more food stalls there.

Ahmad ABBOUD

Nice park with beautiful scenery especially in Autumn ????

Anil S

Excellent park. Very beautiful and peaceful. Definitely visit and relax in the environment. Easy parking. Excellent views of the city from the view points. There are multiple areas in the park. The area with the lake is very beautiful. There is even a small waterfall feature here. Lota of beautiful flowers as well. The benches can be used for picnics.

Rahul Kesarkar

Beautiful place round the year I mean both summer be winter I have uploaded the pics for both seasons. Really calm and place to come in peace with nature. Love the truck up and view from the top. Has a lot of history to it. It’s definitely a place to unwind and be yourself way from the heavy traffic of Montreal city.

Marlène Da Silva

This park is big and beautiful. There are a lot of different paths and places to see. You can find a beautiful view of Montreal and a lake, this is perfect for a picnic with family and friends (if the weather permits). Also there is some drinking fountains in the way. In the fall the trees are red and orange, it's very beautiful. Also you can find a lot of squirrels, seagulls and mushrooms in the forest. I recommend ????

Arefin Chowdhury

Nice place to see. Great lookout spot for Montreal city. Nice park to have a healthy walk

Jonathan Hart

Fantastic views. Well worth the strenuous hike up the stairs to the top.

Wonderphil World

A really beautiful spot to relax and take a break from the city. Some really nice views of the city with trails and open areas to enjoy some nature. You haven’t visited Montreal until you’ve been to Mount Royal

Jack Nolan

Worth the walk up for a fantastic view of Montreal. The center attached isn't a sit down restaurant but has some good snacks and drinks.

Nisara Bandali

Beautiful view point! About 30-40 min hike. Worth it!

Mary Eloise Velasco

My boyfriend and I had visited Montreal bank in November. I fell in love with the city, in general, but Mont Royal is just plain amazing. We enjoyed walking throughout, visiting the chateau, and taking in the view. Definitely recommended when visiting!

Daniel Striet

Great big park to hang out at! Nice artificial lake in the middle.

Sammie Nguyen

Beautiful spot to look out the Montreal view.

Sebastian Victorica

One of the best places for having a clear view of the city

Debra Penne

What can one say about Mother Nature at her best...go there and enjoy the wonderful calming energy of nature, it is good for the soul!

Kulvinder Kaur

Love the place alors of memories

Haseeb Shahid

Beautiful park with the most spectacular views of Montreal!! Visit in fall to see the amazing colours ????

Taylor Kuykendall

What a great place to spend the day! Beautiful.sights, interesting people and a great place to exercise and get some photos!

Robin Bakke Cato

Well worth the climb! We went there in the winter so the stairs were quite slippery. But the view was incredible!

Aim Buranakarn

Great views.. once you get there. Be prepared for a bit of a hike.. they have stairs though... so not too terribly rugged...

Mauricio Kimura

Went jogging this morning a bit before the sunrise. Only a half dozen of people were in the area. This park is amazing, there is a small lake at the top with boats to be rented, large picnic area and a small decent playground for children. I was impressed with the cleanness of the paths and the amazing view. I was luck and saw a real beaver walking around. Just beside you find a cemetery. If you like arts, there are some sculptures spread out in the park.

Stephen Chung

Great views of the city. I don't recommend walking up from the north through the cemetery when it's icy especially if you don't have the proper footwear. Crampons or boots with treads recommended.

bhushan gote

Fantastic city views from the top. Beautiful in all seasons.

Alexandra Cañizales

Beautifull view of montreal

Axel Santiago

Nice park to spend the evening walking around plenty of trails for a park within the city.

Kashmala Khan

The place that I can’t forget ❤️ beautiful fresh and calm ????…the view here ???? you can come here with your family and friends enjoy and take memorable photos .. here you should come with your coffee and some edible stuff ????..

Vigneswar M (vicky)

One place you must never miss if you are planning for a visit at Montreal (Mount Royal ????)

Shantel Reece

Breathtaking scenic views of Montreal! It is a bit of a trek getting up there but totally worth it! It has great hiking trails and bike paths! It even has a little shop at the top of the mountain and vending machines to buy drinks as well as washrooms! Plan to spend a few hours walking around.

Soledad Lago Rodriguez

Very nice park to take a walk. There is a couple of large stairs, so if you are not used to exercise take it easy. The view of Montreal from the top totally worth it

Kevin TOE

I believe this place to be the best spot for an overview of Downtown Montreal! You'll be mesmerized by the view! Just Amazing! Definitely worth the hike! If just visiting the city, you CAN'T leave without going there!

Ley Dla

I wish we had parks as beautiful as this back home. There's lots to do, and an amazing view at the top of a medium-difficult hike. It took us about an hour to get to the top, but it's not so bad if you grab a bit to eat or drink in their Cafe before you head up. It's definitely worth it. The walk down took half as long.

J E Gomez

Nice stroll but be prepared to power your leg muscles up hill. I got lost trying to find the observatory but once I made it the view was spectacular and worth it even in a gray winter-like day. Also check out the cafe- they have an excellent BLT on sesame bagel you don’t want to miss.

Sebastian Forero

It's a great park where you can go tu run or just walk. The view is beautiful and I suggest to go to the chalet while sunset

Ryan Toxopeus

Large, beautiful space. Nice hiking trails criss-cross more main paths and roads.

Dell DKpop

What amazing park!!! Every person who visit Montreal must to go there.

Manan Amin

The perfect and eye-catching view of the eternally beautiful city lf Montréal ...for that you need to visit chalet du Mont-Royal.

Rebeca Polo

Hiking in Mont Royal was one of the things I enjoyed the most while visiting Montreal. This is a must-do! Well maintained trails, this is a relaxing walk, a huge green space - and a gorgeous view of the city once you reach the top.

Marilyn’s Art & Adventures

Mt. Royal park was truly an adventure with an awesome staircase to the top and a spectacular lookout on the top of the hill. At the top there is a concession coffee shop, wooded trails and a road for walking. Whether you are looking for a great workout walking the stairs or waking for the awesome scenery you will not be disappointed. It makes for a great afternoon or evening outing!

Laura Trop

Great view on the city ???? perfect for biking, hiking and walk with family and friends. Fresh air and beautiful scenery ????????????. Chateau Mount Royal is one of the must seen places in Montreal.

Lawrence Ogbeide

Lovely park where you can enjoy the outdoors and take walks through the woods

Jessica Frakes

Beautiful park with water and toilets at the chateau, piano at the square and dells on which to picnic, play and lay. Well done Montreal!

Max Metz

Beautiful park in the middle of Montreal. The overlook is stunning, trails well maintained, and ski/skate rental. The quality of ski trails was incredible. Beautiful, I want to go back in the summer!

Fang Ms

Exciting place. Suit for jogging and bicycling

Sonny Mai

Great views over the city with lots of open space, a short walk from the parking lot, but it's a fairly easy walk. Can get crowded on nice days

Sami Bakhour

I loved this huge park, make sure to follow the road when you go there to the the amazing beautiful view of Montreal from the top ! An awesome park for BBQs, kids and adults. There is also a small water park where kids can play & enjoy their time.

Akhtar Rana

So big, clean and beautiful. Washrooms available as well. Really well kept.

Tu_Rincon Viajero

Great place for relaxing and enjoying time with friends and family.

Mrinal Rai

The park is very big and mainly a tourist spot. A lot of people come here with their friends and family, have a barbecue and relax. It's very pleasant and peaceful. You need to walk up the hills a little to reach the place where a small lake is and where you can rest and take pictures.

Mark Jacobson

Wonderful place to spend the day, even if you don't want to toboggan, just go there for a walk and enjoy the fresh air.

World News

If you are visiting Montreal, this is a must visit place, have a wonderful view of the city. Also, if you love hiking, this little mountain have a lot of trails with a lot of vegetation and little animals

Nishant Chandran (Nc88)

Light show was phenomenal, well worth the cost of entry

Declan A. Nicholls

Beautiful park, with several trails to choose from. Good for walking, hiking, running and biking.

Tirupathi Rao Papeneni

This place is good to hang out with friends

Trentos El Bartos

Beautiful and clean place to get an overview of the entire city. Luscious and green walk through the park with lots of people. Definitely worth going here to see the general appearance of Montreal!

Peggy Shim

Lovely place to hangout, may be crowded when the weather is lovely though

Juan Lokkito

Bike, walk, ski your way to the top each time is a new amazing experience!!

Oussama Bourada

Very beautiful place. Perfect to spend time at with your close ones.

Jeevan Panta

It was fantastic and mind blowing place to visit with family and friends.. nice place for jogging and BBQ on spring and summer... Love this park.. best place to have fun⁸

Dale Samuels

The experience: Visited the park during spring 2021. The trails leading up to the great house and lookout has beautiful trees and lots of birds and some wildlife. It is definitely a closer walk to nature in the middle of the city. The walk from parking to the top is approximately 15 mins at regular pace with kids. At the top of the lookout you are able to see all of downtown Montreal, The historic bridges and the harbour. If you have binoculars I highly recommend bringing them. Other: There were bathrooms on site, I can't speak to cleanliness though. And there's a small cafe that sells coffee and a few small food items. But bring your own water though, prices are touristy.

Kevin LVN

Amazing park with great view over Montreal city, also many activities available during winter

ricky llapa

The walk was intense, the park has wood trails that go up and down the mountain for those that are adventures as i am. Once you reach the area with the city you'll be blown away but how beautiful it was and still is. They even have a piano where people can freely go and play it. And while i was their a few teenagers were playing a catchy and happy song together.

Jess Polley

Great place to enjoy a hike up to the top of Mont. Royal. Beautiful views of the city, but can be crowded at times.

Emilie Noel

Beautiful park at the top of Mont-Royal where you’ll find 2-3 little coffee/bistros to grab a drink or bite to eat. The park is well kept and offers and clean environment. Public bathrooms are also available and are surprisingly clean!

Christian Narciso

*** MUST STOP - BEST SKYLINE OF MONTREAL *** best view in Montreal hands down, both during the day and at night! PROS • A gorgeous view youll never forget • you can trek from the bottom of the hill to the top for about 45 minute walk • tons of nature to enjoy • people walk, bike, exercise and take photos here everyday! CONS • $12 to pay for full day parking (should be free but that's just my opinion)

TotoTheBro

Very nice view from the top and there are not many people. It’s very relaxing and it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the top. It’s good for running and for biking, because there is a road that goes around the mountain. At the top there is a very nice chalet where you can sit down and there are fountains for drinking and bathrooms.

Matthew Thiessen

It's a lovely park to walk in. Very well maintained wide paths. Busy with other pedestrians.

Daniel Horn

Very stunning, like always it's a place to enjoy a good walk. Montreal at its best.

Stef Lai

Amazing place!! A grate mix of a very beautiful an protected nature, art, innovations an architectures, where you can do also a very nice sport trainings. I love it!

somaya zahran

Amazing park, nice lake, waterfall, and a small playground. Perfect for family picnic. Bussing is conveniently located close to it.

Robin Verma

Nice scenery view , greenery , total fresh n peaceful environment ????????

Joel Bautista

Very nice place overlooking the downtown Montreal. You can have a nice hike through the park. Enjoy the fresh air, the flowers, birds and trees. Of course don't forget to pay for your parking, meter maids comes by often to check on unpaid parking. Then enjoy the evening looking at the skyline of Montreal under the stars.

itika sharma

Nice place to enjoy quality time and fun.It’s super close to the city centre, so just hop on a bus up to the top of the mountain and enjoy some winter fun. You can enjoy Ice skating on Beaver Lake (Mount Royal) and One of my favourite things to do is SNOW TUBING! You won’t be able to stop yourself from screaming, smiling… and making your way to the top to do it ALL OVER AGAIN! What a buzz!

Jason O'Neal

Enjoyed the hike to the top. The pay off of seeing the Montréal skyline was well worth it!

Sushmit Roy

One of the high altitude Scenic place to roam around to see historical fort covering almost an entire view of the Montreal City, Like 10 mins walk from the parking station(nominal fees). Would be amazed to see the view and feel the fresh breeze......

Anastasia S

One of my favorite's places in Montreal. Best place to walk, enjoy the nature and also a splendid view on the city!

79 EDM

Mount-Royal park is the Central park of the city. It is the heart and soul of the city. In the Summer you can hike, bike and scooter here. It is a beautiful place to be in and the park is beautiful. In the winter time you can go skiing and tombagining and it is nice as well since you can see more of the city due to no leaves on trees. I hope one day that the park will become more green and that we have parks like this around the city. Mount-Royal is a beautiful park and I hope that there will be more greenery and better design of the park one day just like Central park in NYC. A would reccomend!

Laura Michaud

The best part of Montreal is Mont Royal. No wonder they named the city after it!! The hike was moderate — lots of stairs. But the view from the top was really nice. We squeezed the whole hike into a couple of hours before dinner — totally doable.

afp

Highly recommend taking the grand staircase. It’s a really quick way to get to the top and see the great views. It also gives you a nice workout. Take the pathway if you want to take it slow and steady - you’ll get to the top eventually but you’ll need a lot of time.

Graziela Pinto

So nice there. If you want walk or eat your own food there is place to sit and rest. During winter there are activities for free and charged. But in the winter you need use appropriate clothes because it's cold.

Joel DeWit

How beautiful. Better than central park in new York city. Many peaceful spots. Great for excercise.

Ryan Adelson

An oasis in the city this is a must visit destination for tourists and locals alike. There are several walking paths to pick from with ranging difficulty. A beautiful pond in the middle of the park gives you a taste of the north in an urban setting (Tbh you wouldn't even know that you're still in the city if it weren't for the amount of people who visit). There is also a stunning lookout to view the ever growing city of Montreal.

Guilherme D. Garcia

Great place to start visiting the city. Nice view of the Montreal skyline.

Jack-Andrew Brami

Too icey but beautiful landscapes and scenery of downtown up 9n the belvederes

Michelle Dodds

Beautiful spot. Lots of excellent walking and running areas. Closest washrooms are up the hill, not by Lac aux Castor, but the cleaner ones are by the lake.

Michael Saragosa

Lovely bike through the woods. It's nice to come through here once or twice a week

Sara Lomas

It’s a great city park with lots to explore. Multi-use makes it ideal for walking, running, playing, or just hanging out for kids and adult alike. Main trails are well maintained making them accessible for strollers and mobility aids. My one criticism is I don’t always feel super safe. Always keep an eye on your belongings, be extra vigilant at night, and don’t let kids wander too far.

Jay Jay

You have to drive up the road and park in a lot closest to the hill. It cost $3 for the hour. The gps sends you nearby but you have to go up the hill while driving. Ask a local for directions they can point it out. Awesome view nice workout.

Sergiu Luculescu

A really good view of the city. Good foe every season!!!

omahasc

Beautiful park with good nature walks. Mostly pretty easy but some paths have a steep incline. We really enjoyed our time and exploring of the area.

Mirko Vujadinović

Very good park. Especially for biking, jogging enjoying in nature. Spring and summer is the best choice to spend a day. And view to the city is amazing.

S V

One of the best place in montreal to go if your a tourist or a traveler. Or if your a local person, this place is the most " nature friendly " area in the entire city. Paths are well made for everyone to walk or to jog or to hike .. or to ski during winter. In summer time , you can BBQ with your family... or simply walk and take pictures of nature... or simply rest and tan your awesome body on the Hills or Lac Des Castors. There is also a place where you can see the city view of Montreal if you walk all the way up to the north side ( just follow everyone ). There, you can take pictures and enjoy the view as family, friends... or as a couple in love. It's very beautiful either in summer, spring, fall or even winter.

Filippo Caliò

What an amazing view from here. You can see all of the city that is gorgeous. To reach the top is simple because there are the stairs close to the chalet, but if you like walking in the woods, there is a very nice path where you can see a lot of beautiful squirrels.

Maher Jebara

Large walk paths and super clean. Good place for a walk or run and the sight over the city especially at night is much worth it. Just be aware that you need to pay for parking if you take your car up.

Joseph Reed

Really fun way to get outside and do something in Montreal. Would recommend to anyone visiting because you get a really nice view of the city. Or if you live in the city definitely is a go to place for a run or to walk the dog.

Emad Fakhimi

A place to have fun, family gathering and definitely for children to play around????

Christine Alemany

It's an Olmstead park, just like Central Park and Prospect Park in NYC. I recommend going into one of the less traveled paths to feel like you are in a forest. Some of the paths have a a few stories worth of stairs so be prepared. Came here when on the hottest day or the year. There are not many water fountains so bring water if you are going to spend a lot of time was walking, which is ready to do.

YJ L

Good view of downtown Montreal, nice little stroll up the path, there's a building that has a little bistro and a bathroom. There are other paths for more strolls once up there. Only down side is gotta pay for parking if you came by car and it ain't cheap.

ADVIT VERMA

Beautiful place, a must visit for sure. Scenic view from the observatory. The trials are nice.

Rob Macdonald

Wow! What a nice park. Just traveling through Montreal and happened to stop by the park on the way into town. This is a huge park. There is plenty of parking and some awesome views of the city. There is also a fantastic lake with a small man made waterfall. It is a great spot for a walk on a hot summer day. They also have a large hill that is all grass to relax and enjoy the day.

Jason M

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.

Nim Mendoza (nimi)

It’s a great place especially when visiting Montreal. A little bit of a hike but it’s worth because you’ll see a great view of Montreal. I like how they have the historical learning spot where you can actually have a glimpse of Montreal’s history. Also, there’s a cafe so just in case you forgot to bring your coffee or snacks. I would definitely go back and visit this place everytime I visit Montreal. ????

Mtl95

Very good park in the middle of the city with big parking space and accessible via public transportation. Best for small to medium hike and end up being at top of the city. Parking charges are way higher than rest of the city.

Galina Tserkovny

Went there twice during our 4-day visit to Montreal. Very green, peaceful, good trails for all fitness levels. Great views from the top.

Shilpa

An absolute must-visit spot in Montréal. The view from Chalet du Mont Royal is amazingly beautiful...going there just before sunset would give one an opportunity to witness the aerial day view and the night view of the city. The best place to park the car is at 1196 voie Camillien-Houde. Parking rates are 0.25 cents/15 minutes or $3/hour or $11 whole day. If someone is spending more than 3.75 hours, it is better buy a full day parking fare.

Shiv Kamal

Great location to catch golden hour setting on Montréal! You can either hike the entire way or drive up to the park. I suggest bringing a picnic blanket and some food. Alternatively, you can also use one of the public BBQs but be ready to get there early.

Robert McSweeney

Beautiful lookout of the city accessible from so many different points of the city. Huge park space with lots of walking trails throughout.

Asad Ali

The view from here was spectacular

Al Chak

We enjoyed a great hike/walk all around the park, the view of Montreal from the top of Mount Royal is priceless.. We took a break by Beaver lake where you can enjoy a nice picnic. All in all if ever visit Montreal this place should be on your list. I love Montreal:)

James Nunez

Big beautiful park. There are plenty of hiking paths leading to scenic views of Montreal. You can also drive and ride your bike throughout the park. There is also a city transit bus that has pickup and drop-off spots throughout. There is also a rest area with restrooms near the lake. The lake is small but cute and is filled with gold fish. There is plenty of picnic areas throughout the park as well. The park is big but walkable. There is a water fountain in the rest area but I'd recommend if hiking the park to bring water. Plenty if fields for the dogs and kids to play .

Shiva Boppidi

Such a beautiful place to visit for refreshment and fun. Wonderful view for Montreal people and for tourists f'course. You can see the whole city from this mountain. Night views are really awesome, love to go there everyday if possible, atleast if you have some company, it would be really an exciting place to go.

Karina Kisselite

Great views of the city. Nice place to take a walk or chill by the lake. Can see quite a lot of wildlife - especially squirrels. Great to be there during the sunset. The only thing is that it’s not trivial to come back to the city from it, some paths were closed.

Sudharshan Suresh

Great views of the city, and a nice climb to get there.

victoria manning artist

Truly a gem in the middle of a city. Woods, open green space, a spectacular look out viewing beautiful Montreal from above...the list goes on. Best to go during the week as the weekends can be super busy and hard to find parking.

Rachael Whitzman

Always few weird rating a park but this place was beautiful!!!! As a tourist it was such a lovely change from the city and beautiful views at the look off. A good size walk and beautiful scenery throughout. Would definitely return next time I visit.

Amedz Traveller

i love the views from the top of the mountain so can see the beautiful views around in mont royal…

Jerome Sammy

Great site to visit, lots of history and excellent view of the city.

Wendy P

Lots of space for picnic or just hanging out with family. There's numerous trails, tables and benches. Also, a small playground for the kids. The large pond is beautiful and has very large goldfish and ducks! There's also a cool small waterfall feature Beautiful place!

Evgeny Kirshin

Probably the best park in Montreal

Marwa Yahia

Amazing park with amazing view of Montreal city.

Vaibhavi Pandya

Good place to hang out at evening. Scenic view of Montreal from the top is pleasant to watch. You can find trails there for cycling. Raccoons will accompany you.

Katy Hung

We love Mont Royal!!! It's our second time here and this time we brought our little one. This is a beautiful place. You can rent a paddle boat and go around the lake. It's very relaxing and enjoyable on a sunny day!

sunny days

It's a pity that the weather was bad that day

Stephen Bruce

What can be said? Amazing park by the people of Montreal, they know how to create spaces to enjoy by everyone from artists to athletes!

Enrique Zenteno

Very nice place for a walk, stroll, hiking or skiing for winter season. The view of the city is amazing. Best place for family photos. I was expecting to have hot chocolate or coffee but the coffee shop in the top was closed for the season. Only one in the parking lot is open.

Peggy Bell

As a visitor from the states I was so taken by the mass of multi cultural locals, young and old, able and challenged, every shape and size who made it to the plaza at the top and just hung out to enjoy being out- together. We Americans could learn alot from you Quebecers.

Annette Wallace

What an amazing experience. Easy to access the parking lot. You do need to pay fo parking and can pay for a timed amount or fill day pass. Plenty of parking and was not full. Since we were going with a stroller & toddler we stuck to the regular path that were gravel. There were many other trails that came up but with the stroller we didn't want to risk it. The view from the look out was fantastic even with some smog. It was busy, but not overly busy that we couldn't see. We arrived around 11am on a Sunday morning. There was a cafe open during restaurant that was selling drinks and coffee. Not sure what else as we did not go inside. There were washrooms facilities in a trailer type mobile thing. Was nice to not have to use a port a potty on such a hit day. Definitely bring water with you!! Along the trail there were many signs for poison Ivy which was a great reminder since I forgot what it looked like. We did the 6km trail and would like to go back to see the waterfall.

Marcelo Coutinho Tavares

Great place and amazing Montreal city view.

Winh's

Pretty chill, pretty nice. We were on the top of Beaver Lake. The new tables are pretty amazing and we'll designed. They just dirty a bit but I mean what can you do. Thrash bins are all around so very practical for BBQs and parties

Tom Bos

Beautiful hidden gem. Great park for a nice stroll.

Koudar Ram

Very nice view of the city! It's a beautiful park. Must see!

Zain Shaikh

Best place in Montreal.

Ahmed Abdelmahdi

After the chairs and desks on site the place became more perfect day and night. people visit the place early morning than before to take breakfast on site.

Jackie Wall

Great views from the top on a beautifully clear day. It was worth the climb - we went up the route with lots of stairs, so it was also a decent workout.

Sue Jung

Best sunset view of the city! Worth the walk to the Chalet!

Eva Milstein-Touesnard

Mont Royal is beautiful but you have to find the right places to see the best views! The busy, tourist places can be a bit disappointing but if you follow some of the nature trails you will stumble upon some really cute lookouts!

Hyunchul Lee

The beautiful landmark of Montreal. Admission is free. I made the mistake of not visiting when I was in this city 10 years ago.

Hyunchul Lee

The beautiful landmark of Montreal. Admission is free. I made the mistake of not visiting when I was in this city 10 years ago.

zak Shaikh

Nice views, crowded at times.

Austin Bertone

Great for walking, jogging and biking during the summer. Lots of off route paths and main paths. Don't go late if you do not enjoy walking in the pitch black. No lights on certain paths.

Bo Mark

I come here quite often to bike and hike. The best times are on a rainy day in the summer or on a weekday during the winter. It can get a little too crowded up at the lookout on weekends.

JAIN SOJAN

A must visit place for canadians and tourist people. A lot to walk and the result at the end. Place for leisure along with family, freinds or even alone. Water is available at top. People use the path for jogging. Many random places for clicks. You can experince the inner side of mount royal if ready to travel into the woods (be safe).

VladMRK

A cool place to relax with an amazing view of the city

Tim Jennings

I would suggest going during the day and at night. It's a beautiful park to walk, run or bike. We went to watch fireworks which weren't very visible from the peak due to trees but the city was a wonderful sight.

Genevieve Johner

A lovely park - I imagine it must be truly beautiful in the spring, summer, and fall. We visited mid-May and nothing was blooming yet and it was quite chilly, but it was still a lovely view.

CAI GAN XIAN Lucas

Great place to spend the day. Crave for a picnic, run, bike, visit, rest, amazing view and free stuff. This place is all about that.

Ubayd Deen

I walked the entire path in an hour and loved it. One can just walk and clear their mind up there. The view is also stunning from the Lookout point.

P Kash

Amazing park and city view from the top

Orlando Marin

The park is gorgeous, with plenty of nature to experience. It can take quite a while to walk to the top, but it's worth it. You pass a lake along the way, and towards the top is the Chateau. From there you can get an amazing view of Montréal below. The park is simultaneously very pretty and very accessible. It doesn't look like much from the entrances at the bottom, but in just a couple of minutes you are engulfed in trees, shade, and paths. If you enjoy the beauty and cleanliness of Montréal then you should not skip Mount Royal Park.

Pratik Bhanuse

Great place to visit. The view is magnificent from the observatory on top. Also a great hike, hike isn't too hard I'd say beginner level.

Tigh Loughhead

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.

Catherine Cimon-Paquet

Best place in Montreal. Fabulous place to run :).

Constant Concept (Constant Concept)

Cool place to workout or just go for a walk

katia arab

Don't forget to take the wheel tour, you will have a nice view of Montreal

Nicoletta Rigamonti

Nice walks. Quite relaxing bit also nice for sports.

Jack Eastes

A great place for a nice view of Montreal. The walk up isn't too difficult and the top provides an excellent photo opportunity!

Olivier Labrie

Awesome place to go for a walk. Recommend to take the bus up to the top and go down the hill. If you drive there, you'll have to go back walking to pick you vehicle

Hadianto Gunawan

Very beautiful place. You have to visit this park if you go to Montreal. It has many walking tracks. Very beautiful in autumn.

Stanley Kostelidis

Usually I don't go up to mount royal Park during the winter months ( I drive a three wheeler electric bike) but the first few weeks of January were mild so I decided to go, went to beaver lake and the look out with the chalet, both places had a lot of people, beaver lake people were skating but no was tobogganing, the look out was a great place to see the downtown core, there was even a guy flying a drone, these areas were clear enough so that I had access with my bike. I have fun that day.

Siau Jonathan

Nice place for a quick and easy hike during the summer. Bike or walking are both on the same paths.

Ivo Gorgachev

Beautiful place in any season, great to take in the view and some fresh air!

Shreya Rugle

Great place to relax and have fun with friends!

Jean-François Fréchette

Looking for a little paradise to chill out and hang your hammock on weekdays or to dance to the sound of drums at the Tam Tams on Sunday afternoon? Look no further, Mont-Royal Park is the place to hangout, walk, climb or even cycle to the top and enjoy the most beautiful view of Montreal.

Heather R

Loved riding up the long way on a scooter to the top view. Plus, the whole park is a place where you can spend hours in.

Khurram Ijaz

Awsome panaromic view of the Montreal downtown with numerous trails for jogging & cycling.

Sherley Gene

Lovely place in the heart of the city. Boat (Chaloupe) ride is 20 bucks for 30 min. Pretty cool rowing on the lake. Park is huge. Spacious enough to have multiple gatherings. Great spot for picnics, cookouts (bbq). There are picnic tables available. First come, first served, I think. Overall, an excellent outing for friends to hangout or families. I recommend!

THUMMAR PIYUSH

It is one of the best places in the Montreal that one must visit. You will find the best environment over there, and the best night look of the city at evening or night. If one visits this place in day, one can see the best day-view of the Montreal. One can find the glimpse of tallest building of Montreal and assembly too.

YULIYA OZER

Very nice park. There is a construction is going on, but still very nice

Leticia U.P.C.

Always a great place to visit. Incredible view of the city, and at the same time you are surrounded by the beautiful nature of the mountain.

Remi BIGEARD -WH SAINT LAURENT-

Great place to walk with friends or families visiting you. Nice viewpoints and trails. With luck you can meet some animals leaving there (squirrel a lots, chipmunks, racoons, foxes...)

Tony Sperduti

Situated on The Hart of Montreal the view is spectacular. Great place to walk, run or bike safe for kids. And a lot of parking (pay)

Ladan Eskandarian

Nice lookout to the city and beautiful fall foliage ????????

C W.

Great place to spend the day with family. Great open space with a coffee shop and a bit of food. There are picnic tables with space to ot a stove top bbq. Paying isn't free but reasonable. Great view of the park and of Montreal downtown with a short walk. For those who like a more likes a challenge, you can ride a bike up or hike up the mountain. Have fun

K G

Beautiful. Parking is a bit far. The view point shows the beautiful skyline of Montreal. The park around it is gorgeous for walking around, biking, picnic etc. They have a coffee shop, a museum and a restaurant nearby.

Stefanie J

Lots of good hikes and paths to take and an amazing view

Tanya Compton

Beautiful place to walk and see a great view of the city.

Geraldine Chitate

Nice relaxing walk from parking area (not too steep). The big cross that lights up is close to the highest point but the lookout view point that you might recognize from the Google picture is by the Mount royal chalet in the direction of ' Smith House ' . The signs will help guide you. Its an amazing place to take pictures andsoak in the view.

Varun

Public commute is painful, you have to have patience to wait for buses. Place is great to hangout with friends family and kids

Setsuko Bolick

the best park in the world. if you have the opportunity, then be sure to visit it

Tido Meyer

It‘s a very beautiful view on Montreal from up there, so make sure you‘ll get a picture.

Dawa Lama

Canada is a must visit country and I enjoyed thoroughly visiting all the historical sights. The weather was beautiful with the right amount of snow in November.

Latoya Johnson

Beautiful and most stunning place to visit in Montreal. On a clear sunny day you can see all of downtown. Walking distance to view point is not too bad. I would reccomend visiting this place during the week.

Alexandre Rosenfeld

Really nice place to hike or take a break from the city with a breastaking view.

Ponnappa K.G

The view is worth the hike. Great vantage point to see the Montreal skyline.

Priya Singh

Great views! Long, arduous walk to the top for those whose fitness levels are not up to par.

Robin Hood

My Favorite place in Montreal. You can run, jog, hide and seek, do picnics, skate, play sports, hike, camp, and all the fun outdoorsy stuff and forget that you're right in the heart of the city.

Richard K.C. Ling

Great view. My pilgrimage each decade it seems.

Ephraim Baluyot

Beautiful location with plenty of space for social distancing. Definitely a great place to enjoy a nice day out. The walk up the mountain takes a good chunk of time as well so you'll definitely get your step count higher.

regis kwong

This is a must visit place when in Montreal. This vantage view give you the whole outlook of the city. On a sunny day, you can see the endless branches of the river stretching all the way to other cities. Be prepare to walk a mile to the top. There are parkings near the top but that's a long walk too. The path going to the viewing area is a pleasant walk with paved walkways and plenty of trees to provide shades. If you want to learn a bit of history of Mont Royal, there is a museum next to the viewing platform. restroom facilities are provided as well in the viewing area. Best time to visit is around September and late Spring.

Syed Sureed Ahmed

It might be a bit over rated place, good for a quick drop on and drop off. We went to during the dusk, perhaps at dawn you can have a better view of the city

Mike Kale

Amazingly place to escape the city life. Great place to visit during all seasons. Lots to do and explore. Always something to see and discovery. The view is amazing, relaxing area, great trails, easy access. Mother nature is beautiful. I have taken a few friends here to show the fee and to explore the mountain. Never a bad time to go :)

Jaskaran Dhillon

Mesmerizing views, Nice place to enjoy free time, soothing experience

Lou

I'm love with this historical place. I enjoyed a large view of Montreal, but just went until the Chalet area and there is a lot more to visit. I must come back soon!

Z-Z R

I would give a five star but the think of locking the street during the summer was the worse idea I never seen! #letsguide

OLABISI OLALEYE

"Beautifully awesome!' Mobile bathrooms clean enough with sanitizers. Lots of dancers and drummers on Sundays only. Summer is quite short.

Reachill Franche

If you love nature, your gonna enjoy this place! Perfect for walking, running jogging, yoga and many more! Always fun place to visit with the stunning view????????

Vim Naidoo

It's great exercise walking up the steps to get to the summit. Gorgeous view of the city. Family friendly.

Jaylord Bartolay

The best Park ever in Montreal!

Arjun G.Krishnan

Designed by the same guy who designed the Central Park (Olmsted) the park has a plethora of activities to offer. Ranging from jogging/biking trails to easy hikes and cross country skiing paths during the winter. During summer, it's a good spot to barbecue and chill with family/friends.

Natalie Tse

Nice little in the city hike, lots of picnic areas along the way to the top!

Jonathon Chen

A beautiful place to visit in Montreal.

Tarek Belghith

The walking track and the place are just amazing! I can only recommend this beautiful park to all those living our visiting the island of Montréal and mint royal area. Last but definitely not least, the change situated in the top of the hill there. Enjoy your trip and don't miss this great spot ????????

Maarten Pennings

Walked up from the old town (~1hr) to Mount Royal Park. Was Autumn, so not as beautiful as Spring I guess. Nevertheless, enjoyed the tour in the Park. Saw squirrels, Raccoons, Woodpeckers.

Michael Salton

Really nice park with lots of walking trails and beautiful views from the top

Krunal Patel

Oh wow... such a beautiful place. Best place to view whole montreal. We went at evening time and felt amaze by the view. Only issue at later evening was mosquitoes.. but otherwise we were happy to visit this place.

Maxime Xiang

Best view over the city. Perfect place for a morning run or bike ride.

Liciani Vargas

Amazing park. Great view.

Zarasor

Beautiful lookout spot. You can see all of downtown Montreal from here. The walk up here is awesome too. One of my favorite spots in the city. Dow

reza elmii

Only parking prices is high,

kelicious

We must have missed the crowd. It was a bit cool out but a lovely spot to rest and relax. It was very peaceful without the crowd that we heard is usually there. The service desk guy was very informative and friendly.

Fiery Fire

If you enjoy watching the sunrise from a higher altitude this is the best place to go. One can visualize the whole of Montreal city from just one place. The lights during the nights and the sunrise during early morning makes this place a heaven and is the best time to visit this place.

Jagdeep Singh

The place is just amazing, perfect for walking, running, spending time with family with amazing view at the top. Easy to Access the parking

Yaroslav Ehrhart

Absolutely, great place to see entire Montreal. I would recommend this park, many other nice monuments around the park. Just depends how far you are willing to walk.

Mav O

Lovely place to go picnic, hike, relax and anything that nature related. Lovely place to go spend a sunny day either with friends or your family.

Sanyam Goel

Amazing city view from mount royal and best place to spend time for roaming!

Ivan I

Great hiking trail, history and an amazing view from the top. Must visit when in quebec city.

Krystyne McComb

So much fun. Easy hike. Best views of the city.

Angus Bennion

It’s a nice place for a hike and good views of the city, especially at night.

Anthony Jcb

Been there in winter. It's a very nice park, overlooking the city of Montreal. Always good for a little walk or a run.

Jason Reeson

Beauty day. Beauty views lots of parking. Plenty of space to keep distance. I have to visit every time we are in Montreal.

Arameh Soltani

I love to walk around here, it's beautiful ???? one of my favourite places to go and relax ????

David Hong

This is the “central park of New York City” in Montreal. It’s the Highest point in Montreal. Definitely a very nice stroll during a beautiful day. Lac-aux-Castors is so nice and serene.

Juhi Apte

Lovely park! Lots of places for my dog to drag me to as she chases ????️????️.

Samuel Rad

My favorite spot in Montréal for sure

O

Perfect place to get some profile photos. Also really nice scenic and historical location. You will enjoy without a doubt. Avoid the steps, drive all the way up the hill.

Veronica Hui-Rodriguez

Wonderful platform with great views and scenery of the city of Montréal. There was a exercise group that had an outdoor class there. There are a lot of bicyclists, runners, and travellers. Great place to watch a sunset.

Sharon Chen

Very nice park that is one of the go to spots for tourists for visiting montreal. It was fun exploring the trails and visiting Maison Smith.

Rishin Naik

Excellent place to view city of Montreal from height. Best time to visit during dusk so beautiful day and night view can be captured.

Jeremy Concepcion

Awesome family-friendly environment that has amazing views. Definitely should check it out while in town. My daughter had a blast! Love Montreal!

François DUPONT-CHAMPION

Always great for a walk, a picnic and looking at the breathtaking view all around Montreal from the 2 belvederes

Kelly Brown

It's a beautiful park but parking at the top is really a pain. The ticket machines don't always accept credit cards so be sure to bring lots of change. (No bills)

Jericho Philip Lao

This is just a perfect place for all Season. I love visiting this place every time I have a time to. I wish they could improve the lake though as it seems to be dirty and not properly maintained

Tim Lawrence

Great variety of scenic hiking trails for all ability levels with a beautiful view and chalet at the top!

Teresa Haugland

Beautiful place, offers views of the Montreal. Park is pretty big, has many hiking trails and roads to walk/bike. We went on Sunday and it was very busy. Lots of people out be c ause the weather was finally nice. Would go back again.

Andree Martin (Empress Levi)

Me and the kids hiked from the front to the top lookout and back

Ana Paula Bertho

My favorite place in Montreal! Beautiful, it has different trekings to choose.

LL

Beautiful! Could be a tough walk on snow/ice for some.

Jonattan David Mendoza

I believe Mount Royal park is unique in all aspects! Has trails, view points, bike lanes, piknik spots, events and one of the best thing is the tam-tam music collective on Sundays. The mountain is something we can call the all allowed to do, except for a fire. You can bring your bet, cat, dog and others without a problem just to take care of their necessities. Also it is allowed to drink and smoke weed on Sundays close to the Statue, which is Park Ave. between Ave des Pins and Mont-Royal street. Every Montrealer should feel lucky in having such an amazing park like Mount Royal. I hope you enjoy the mountain during the summer. For me the best time to take advantage of summer activities!

Alexa Rieb

Big park with many hiking paths, once in the you won't even feel like you're in the middle of a big city and once in the top, the view is incredible. This is a must go for anyone visiting Montreal. The Belvedere has all the information needed and a cafe where you can chill and refill your energy after hiking. It also has bathrooms and the most amazing view of the city. It can be busy during weekends but it's very nice to go on week days and have a calm nice stroll.

Diana Moreno Ojeda

What can I say? I love being outdoors and Mont Royal offers that lovely feeling of being surrounded by green while still inside the city. It is a great place to jog or walk, and therr are usually a few cyclers around. There are benches if you rather use those rather than the grass, but the grass is just lovely for picnics or reading this time of the year.

Xoey Biem Z.

As someone who’s constantly downtown and living the city life, I love going to Mount Royal for a hike and a quick get away from stress and noise. It’s a pretty clean park with lots of nice trails and greenery and I simply love sitting at the lookouts and viewing the city from afar. The lookout can get crowded on peak time like during summer but early mornings are so nice to take a moment and to go on a hike on the smaller trails. Love relaxing there with a good book, one of my favourite spots “downtown”.

Jeffrey Dorwart

Beautiful panoramic views of Montreal.

Shreya Pawar

Very beautiful We went hiking from the other side.. it's just 15-20 minutes hike but medium difficult one!

Khurram Masud

A lovely trail with beautiful views of the city. There's picnic area at the top. Also there's children playing area

Elmer Caceres

Visited in the fall, the colors all around were amazing! Everything is so well maintained that it's a pleasure just walking around and letting the kids enjoy the expansive open areas and rolling hills.

Dan P

The hike up the mountain is really intense but the view on top is amazing....you could also just drive up

Sonny's World

Beautiful Scenery at Look-outs and cool trails

Mili Rejas

Beautiful nature for do different things like camping, sports like cycling ????‍♀️ and running ????‍♀️. And now in autumn ???? you will love the colours

Darya Yarmolenka

It's beautiful;it's free and when it's dark with all the lights, it feels like a Fairy tale. One thing, there's about a million steps and stairs that you have to climb. So be prepared for hiking..))

Jesselle R

Even in winter it's amazing. Great views and a nice hike up to see the city views.

Jasmin S

Gorgeous little hill with nice trails and beautiful lookouts.

Spider Man

Amazing Park! If you're in Montreal for a short period and need to choose 1 park, choose this one! Have a beautiful view of the city, even with a bad weather is incredible to see Montreal from the top of the Mount Royal Park! There's a lot is stairs, so be prepared to climb! Will worth it!

M Z

It’s definitely a good place that worth’s your visits many times during the year. Good for exercising or a self time reading a book or with family or friends. Great place!

Lupa Duende

Mont Royal Park is a happy wee green spot in the centre of Montreal. On a hot humid summer day, this is the ideal place to take a leisurely stroll or enjoy the skyline. There is at least one place where a cyclist lost their life, which must have been shockingly saddening for their family. It would be great if they closed the park to vehicular traffic and instead installed an electric funicular for those of us who cannot ride, walk, hop, or skip to the summit unaided.

Jacquie Fuentes (Jax)

The parking situation was atocious. The line up and wait to pay along with trying to get down the mountain are detractors, but to be fair, it was a fall weekend on Sunday. The views are beautiful and to be in a park on a glorious day is such a treat.

Atma Khalsa

My favorite part of Montreal. It's a beautiful loop if you start from downtown hotels (up peel st.), Hit the viewpoint (follow the stairs), then head east (gradual paths down). Pick a nice restaurant on st. Laurent, then head back south and west to your hotel. Even nice in cooler weather.

Farid Kassam

Great spot for a view of the city. If you are biking or hiking, it's challenging to get up here but once you are, you won't be dissappointed

Stephan van Elten

This is a lovely location to watch the sunrise. We are from Europe and woke up early due to the time difference anyway????. Great view!

Selyn Chen

A very good place to see the whole of Montreal downtown. Different views for different seasons! During summer/autumn, lots of people on the grass and by the lake to enjoy the sun and wind. During winter, it turns into a winter wonderland!

Carol Rudy

I was born and raised in Montreal. I love to say this line to people…” we have a actual mountain in the middle of our city!” So many different access to get there, memories of bbq at the park with my family. Winter time, going skating in the frozen lake or tobogganing down the hill and getting warmed up at the chalet. Pure beauty. Montreal has a lot of amazing parks, but by far this one is the ultimate.

Hasna B

Perfect for hiking, there’s so many paths to take a hike/walk. We walked 12k steps from Lac-Des-Castors to Belvédère Camillien-Houde. A MUST specially during Fall, all trees starts changing color.

Haitang Feng

We come to mount Royal park every autumn. It's a place in the city to enjoy the most panoramic view.

Niroshan Udith Bandara

Have few nice trails. One of the best places to visit in Montreal.

Albert Kobak

Great park with trails and sight seeings

Savyo Relavio

Great place for sunset and sunrise . You can view the entire downtown from here.

David Nguyen (Duck)

Nice hike. Awesome autumn colors. The stairs are not for the weak!

Jellyfish88

Expensive parking and the locals park for free at the observation deck. The viewing platform was a bit overgrown.

Luciana Fortes

Beautiful place. Gorgeous views, pleasant for walking, running, having a picnic and walking your dog. Stairs to go down/up make it super accessible. A must-see in Montreal!

Matthew Cheung

Love to hike and walk around here. Not to much trash and very peaceful

Jazmine Piette

Beautiful but very busy! Totally worth the view though. It feels freeing being above the whole city, out of the crazy lives of everyone down below. Able to breath in fresh cool autumn air and relax.

David Brown

Took a little night tour @ Beaver lake on Mont Royal, the renovations look great! Great place to visit year round but especially fun to come skating in the winter!

JOJO

There’s no need to put more words! Just love this place since the first day I came to Montréal!

Desmond Yu

The most valuable, colorful and enjoyable outdoor space in Montreal. Worth visiting again and again in four season.It is the real version of the classical music Four Season in real life. Whether you are tourist or local, there are too many ways to enjoy this park, by car, by foot, by bike , alone or with friends and family.The path you choose each will be a different experience. Consult Google map to pick your starting point. Have fun. Life is beautiful.

Mark Hopkins

Beautiful park in the center of Montreal. We walked up Peel Street from our Downtown hotel. The street is a climb from downtown and then the stairs begin once you enter the park. Wear walking shoes and light clothing for this strenuous climb. The view from the top is worth the effort.

Gobind Singh

This is the place from where this city name called as Montreal, it's the main tourist attraction in this city, beautiful mesmerizing view of downtown and wide view of Montreal and nearby locations, fresh air with all natural sights, it has lake, bike rides, tracks, all small activities with friends and family you can enjoy here. Beware from Racoons ????????????????????????????????

Nusrat Jahan Neetu

Very beautiful place. Looks heavenly in fall. A must visit in Montreal.

EMM MICHAEL

Best place to view the City of Montreal

Matt

Stunning skyline views. Great park in the middle of the city. Definitely worth the stop.

Jamila

Great views with small trails. Saw a lot of people cross country skiing in the area.

David Hosey

Well worth walking up the 400 wooden steps to the peak. What a spectacular view at the top

Tareq Nasser

It’s a nice place to visit where you can do something else other that walking around and exercise. This small museum is a pretty idea and have a gift store, restaurant and washrooms.

Casey Ecker

It may be touristy of me but this really is a spectacular view of Montreal! Especially at night. Highly recommend you go at least once or twice.

Sorina Aquinde Calero

This place was GORGEOUS during sunset. It was a hike to get there by foot instead of driving. It was worth it in the end. The place was packed full of people like myself, tourist. But when you leave at night, be very careful since it gets dark very fast as you are walking around all the tall trees. It was quite a hike for my family since my husband and I had our two young sons with us, one is 7 and the other is 1.

Christina V

Absolutely beautiful! The walk up was tough with stroller but it was wonderful and I would suggest it any day!

Alice Kulyn

A real treasure. Can easily spend a day cycling or walking through beautiful forested areas, with the crown on top, being the lookout over the city.

Nima

Nice neighbourhood, with a good parc, with lots of shops.

Chris Taylor

Large number of trails and a good hike up the side of the mount. Classic design by Olmsted. If you are walking up from McGill, for this year, better to avoid the Peel Street entrance with all the construction.

S L

Great trail for biking, hiking and site seeing. There's a lot of people trekking up the stairs with you so you'll get plenty of encouragement. The view up top is worth it.

Lourdes Reyes

It has majestic views of Montreal. Very enjoyable walk

Darrison96

Excellent views and free to enter and walk around

Umair Mumtaz

This park offer alot of things . Well maintained garden with a big pond of water . Ducks . Clean washrooms with lockers. Plenty of parking. Easy access. Nice walk And bring something to spend whole day here. U will enjoy the ice cream to.

YRA StuDio

If you're visiting Quebec make it a date to visit this park. The pictures aren't enough.

Tim Ferguson

Gorgeous area lots of room for people to move around during Covid. Honestly I wish I lived in Montreal just to come here everyday.

John Iyaniwura

Such a beautiful view at the top, it is a must for any tourist and local alike!

Jack Gangbar

Mount Royal is the most beautiful place you can hike in Montreal. There's a map in the Jean Mance Park which outlines the varying degrees of height and steepness of different parts of the mountain which is useful in choosing which route to take. Regardless of your choice, if you can try to stray off the trails, though stay safe! There's lots of glass in the non-paved areas of the mountain, though these areas make for an exciting climb!

Lil Mama's Cooking Show

Beautiful Park in Montreal, so many trails and picnic areas, playground for the children. Beautiful view of the city. Gorgeous place to spend the day.

J W

I lived here for five years and walk to this place every week. Such beautiful scenery and so many good memories.

Chiren Shah

Great view and scenuc beauty. Would be better to spend more hours if there is some food joint.

Melissa Fraley

Beautiful park with hiking and amazing views. Good place to sit and relax near the lake at the top. Nice view of the city from the top as well. Kids had fun on the playground and waterfall near the top too.

Pankit G

It is a good place to see whole Montreal from top and the night view is amazing.

Alex D'Amico

Great place to walk up the steps or take the path from Dr. PENFIELD to the lookout point. Easy access to Beaver lake. Beautiful Gem in Montreal.

Matt Pease

A must see when in Montreal IMHO! Had a cloudy day and it was still a beautiful view of the city! Only explored a small portion of the park and its really nice! Wide walkways and beautiful scenery.

Jatin Katyal

Amazing place to go for a walk. The landscape in day is a great view and the city lights look equally beautiful from the top during the night.

Sarah Dagar

More Developments for ???? walking, snow shoeing, Xcountry skiing trails, great training grounds for all activities..

Tulika Chakraborty

Best place to get an awesome view of Montreal city

MH

Nice place to walk. A lot of raccoons! They walk up to you and are looking for a snack.

Ania Jodzio-Spector

My favourite place in the city . You have the whole view of the city,with tourists and people of all backgrounds intermingling together . It is also very easy to walk from Mount Royal chalet to the newly renovated Beaver Lake. Best place to take a stroll, do some light exercise and relax. Also great place for families !

Jean-Philippe Dumais

Absolute gem. Walk your way up the mountain and earn a jaw dropping view of downtown Montreal.

Sean Adver

Best spot to look through the beautiful view of the city! Be careful the ice on the road though, very slippery.

Dawson Link (Dlink)

Amazing park right in the middle of the city. Great views of the city skyline. Decently short hike just a lot of stairs. There are spots to break and sit. Would highly recommend this park to anyone in the area!

Hugh Evergreen

Ok ok ok Beautiful park north of the core. It is a bit awkward to get to the observation level without a car so Uber was the way to go. There was a nice stairway shortcut to exit the park rather than having to walk the lengthy path down.

Gabriel Alvarez

Beautiful park for all kinds of activities, and with a beautiful view of downtown.

Raghav Grover

Amazing view of the city, nice place to chill and spend the day.

roger t

Best place for families and children. Leaves and trees are so beautiful. You will feel like that you are walking inside the paradise.

Ajaykumar Kanabar

A wonderful place to enjoy and look the beauty of the Montreal, Canada.

José Fernando Ziliotti

Almost 2 km goimg up on a hill. Once youu get there, you will have a splendid view from Montreal. Really amazing.

Hooman

Never got tired of this place. Make sure to walk in all the walking tracks, you’ll find some beautiful spots if you try them.

Kirk Marek

nice walking trails great view at the top when it's not foggy ????

Chuck Rezso

Looking up just made me want to go up. Then when I got there, I was happy. Truly worth the experience of walking up. Spent some time wondering around but even that was nice. Good to run, ride your bike, or walk with people.

Nouhad Amaneddine

You feel that they don't want to support tourism, access is not easy for a non-resident of Montreal, there is a lack of clear signage and there is no presence of any assistance.

Alvin Esguerra

Great place to bring your family for a walk or picnic.

Nannette Patey

The view from the "mountain" is spectacular. I'm from Utah and live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, so a 600+ foot peak is more of a hill than a mountain. That being said, it's worth the trip. You have to pass through the cemetery to get to the top, but it's one of those old, interesting cemeteries that invites you to read the headstones as you pass. Once on top you can see nearly all of Montreal and the river. There's also an old art gallery with a gift shop and some paintings still there although most have been removed. For me it was a place to warm up after a cold walk. Take the trip to the top, you won't be disappointed.

Angel Yanatchkov

Best view Clean air Quiet and relaxing

Paulo Unia

Its a great park, lots of green spaces. It welcomes everything you want, from sports to relax moments with family and friends

Wendy Ding

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.

Mark Brundage

Went for a run in the evening. The track to the summit gives a mild but consistent incline and there is roughly 300 steps at the top. Views are awesome and the crowd is active.

habiba hussein

Great place to hang out with friends and get a nice view of the city

Леонид Самойленко

Must to visit if you are in Montreal! Perfect view on the downtown, pretty stair at the top, but its not easy to reach it. Dont give up and you can! Great park on route toward here. Its first place i visited in Montreal

jaydev vaghela

Amazing view of sunset and sunrise. There are also some trails over here. Make sure to reach early because very hard to find the parking.

Shivang Amin

Wonderful place but didn't got the parking hopefully we can enjoy next time ????

Yizu Lulu Yeh

A perfect way to exercise and enjoy the view of Montreal. Starting from McGill university, and climb stairs and you will reach chalet du mont royal. Lots of runners and bikers along the trails.

Jeff Heskin

A great place to spend a couple hours hiking in the woods but also get a great view of the city. A very peaceful place after the bustle of the city. If you’re a tourist (as I was) I’d recommend you take bus 11 up to the top of the hill to get out and look around but then take bus 711 down so you can stop at St. Joseph’s Oratory. ????

Rajesh Dutt

Definitely a must visit when in Montreal, the city gets its name from the mount royal park, panaromic views of the city and a pleasant park makes it worthwhile coming here

Mohamed Humaid

Beautiful climb up the top. Moderate effort required. Great that you can vary the number of ways you can climb up or down: walk up a paved incline, hike through woods, or climb stairs. Once you get to the top, a breathtaking view of Montreal is right below.

BiViN P B

Well it's a beautiful location where you can climb up to see most of Montreal city. It's a bit hard to walk up during winter

Honey Di

Good view. Better have good boots when visiting during the winter. Paths can get slippery.

Khadija Yazda

Best place in downtown Montreal for immersing urself in nature after a long day at work. Outstanding views and lookouts, lots of tracks for working out. Best time to visit during Summer and Fall

Jasmine Jackman

Beautiful views. Stair-master workout to the top, but road access is also available for bikes and people on wheels. Parking is free for the first two hours. After that fees for parking rise to $6.00- $10.00. There is parkland for picnicking, cafe dining and washrooms at the top. Enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Montreal.

MB

Great place for a hike, the effort pays when you get to the top and get to see a glimpse of Montreal from one spot. Its quite a hike but truly worth it. I'd recommend to go there when its not that hot outside, you'll be left panting.

Navneeth Rajakrishnan

Beautiful park. Great view of the city from the chalet. There is cross sign and that's good view for sunset. Overall excellent place for all seasons.

Alejandra CISA

Very good place.

One of the best lovely natures to experience in Montreal. I just was there in January and it was so cold a young lady inside the building didn't let me to get warm inside because she worshipped covid rules, it was a brutal harsh treatment. Other than that I love this park a lot and happy to go to this park every single time.

I walk here regularly. There are many different trails to explore off the main Olmstead path that are more rugged and less populated. It feels great to be immersed in nature.

Very nice park. Tons of space and picnic tables and benches. Great place for a picnic

Day Mendoza

A very nice place to take a walk, be it with family or friends. Nice views of the city.

This place is astonishing. Worth walking to the top where you can overlook the city and it's so relaxing.

Richard Zhang

Going out ti the top and to see a beautiful site of the city was well worth the journey. For any visitor, this is a place to go.

This was a highlight for our trip. We went hiking on a brisk day through this area. It was so beautiful, well maintained and marked even with snowfall. The expansive park is good for multiple activities. We were walking and hiking but saw skiers and sleds too. We walked up to the cafe, which was a pleasant surprise! The poutine was some of the best we had while vacationing in Canada. They had good service and many food options. Beautiful area to visit. Moderate to not strenuous.

Kathy Dorchak

This is a beautiful park.

Leonardo Thiodoro

Amazing park right in the middle of the city. Worth it to take a walk, specially with you go to the top of the park for city view. Good structure with bathrooms at the top.

Rachel Green

my visit was beautiful; the leaves had mostly fallen, so you could see the bones of the mountain, and the leaves and their aroma created a completely autumnal duet. it was a precious moment, in the soft 18C° November day. I was once again very thankful for this oasis in the middle of our beautiful city.

Brenda Rech

Awesome view. Not too crowded

T. Sofia

I do love going there on a week day. But try to avoid weekends when weather is too nice there's too many people and gets too crowded.

Thibaut Rouffineau

Beautiful views over Montreal recommended early in the morning for sunrise

Khushnaz K

Loved the peace and quiet here in otherwise noisy Montreal. A green oasis in the heart of the city. Good views of the city from one of the multiple viewpoints. I imagine the canopy of trees would look really colourful in fall.

Are you planning to visit Montreal? Going to Mount Royal should be on your places-to-visit list. After walking/hiking all the way to the top, you'll be rewarded with this stunning view of Montreal and greather area. As a local, I love going there. Best place to be with mother nature and escape from your daily little life and city noise. Be prepared to do a little cardio if you use the stairs. There are many.????????

Loric Vezin

Definitely a must visit for any tourist! Don't forget to go check out the observatory, the lac des castors and a multitude of other lookout points of the city! A great place to find your bearings around and about Montréal !!

Bella Khidhir

My only issue was walking up to the top.. poor signage and no clear path unless you take the 11 bus. Wonderful views though. Don't miss the lake!

Natalia Z

Love it! Spacious, green, just a lovely site. You can walk around, hike, sit by the water, picnic and more. You can enjoy Mount Royal from different angles. You won't be disappointed.

David Sherrill

Beautiful park! Has a little detour that makes for some scenic walking, but loved the overlook ^_^

sejun kim

A really nice little hike up where you can have a really nice overview of the city. For anyone concerned that it might be difficult there is a short cut route with stairs to make it a bit easier going up there. Alternatively if you have a bike or want to challenge yourself there is a long route as well.

Bob Knox

Beautiful walks on a winter's day!

Hagop Bouiajian

Very beautiful place ,someone should keep climbing to grab pictures for these hidden treasure like that Cross statue

chris choi

Great hike up the hill behind McGill university. Beautiful view of Montreal city.

Amir Yadghar

One of the best city parks. It is like a forest within the city. It has very good vibe. Many trails, different scenes

Bogdan Marin

Very nice spot to take pictures at the Sunrise

Robert Vincent

Nice view of the city - could have more shaded areas given the climb up the mount on a hot day.

Greg Tarr

Beautiful park, probably the best city park I've ever been to. We came in the autumn/fall and were delighted at the colours.

Maeve Hazel

Beautiful must visit place for tourists. Pro tip - resist using the portapotties at the parking lot if you can because there are regular washrooms at the top of the lookout that are much more clean and spacious!

Catalina Sofía

My favorite place in Montreal. Perfect to relax and enjoy the view from the top. The hiking is a little bit difficult, is better to do it slowly. I really like it when snow!

Fabian Camilo López Lemus

Beautiful sight of Montreal's downtown. Good plan to walk and breath fresh air.

Ralph W

Nice place to visit from April to October. Wide trails taking you to all sides of the mountain, great views at different locations on the mountain. Must visit if you love walking and jogging in nature. Best park on the island of Montreal and easily accessible by car.

Adam Lawson

Beautiful park with good views. Lots of stairs if coming up from the north side. You can drive up from the northern side.

Nate Herzog

What an amazing park, took our kids here many times for picnics and walks. Took away 1 star because I'm not a fan of Montreal.

Fernande simeon

Great adventure for you and your family. Plenty of things to do. But do not come to Canada right now, too much restrictions. Most of activities close. Please stay away from Canada for the pandemic.

martin simmons

Went weekday in September under a cobalt blue sky and absorbed the lake's tranquility

Juanjo

Beautiful place to relax and let go the mind, an amazing spot to have the best view of montreal. Perfect to do some ice skating, slides with the kids, and have a beer or hot chocolate depending on your mood.

Liam LePocher

Great park it has some of the best views you can get of the city. Kondiaronk Belvedere (near McGill) is the best view in the park, at night it is beautiful with the city lights, you overlook down town.

Shanthala M

OMG what beautiful view from the mountain. It’s good place for hiking. It will be more beautiful during the sunrise which we couldn’t do. Will definitely visit this place again.

selina ho

Must visit in autumn
