Pleasant park with a view that is worth the hike. There is a winding road, but if you're up to it we recommend the stairs (248 for the final trek by our count)

This is the best view of Montreal. overlooking downtown Montreal this location has a superb view, especially at sunset. if you visit, you will most probably will notice photographers taking photos of Montreal downtown. For couples this location is very romantic and you can easily find a private secluded niche in the surrounding woods of the mount royal park (;
We walk from Sofitel and arrive to chalet and then the overlooks and go down to Duluth. Views are terrific but it was 2 weeks after snow disappear and so all the trash let by the people were here...So it underartes our impression
Allow plenty of time as there is quite a bit of walking to do if you want to visit all three summits.Also very intersting visitor centre
We rented Bixi Bikes at the Old Port and rode up to Mont Royal. For a few reasons this wasn't a good idea. It was 25 degrees and it is a very long and winding dirt road that goes up to Mont Royal. Biking up wasn't fun. It would be better to drive up and then just do the short...

Wear your walking shoes and comfortable clothes, this is a long walk up the Mont Royal but worth it. Very pretty tree-lined walk to the top with beautiful views of Montreal.

Whenever we go walk overthere, we're surrounded by beautiful dogs, people walking, little children running, family doing BBQ around picnic tables and having fun, etc, etc. You can also make exercice overthere: jogging, walking, biking. Everything, at ten minutes from home or, if you stay far, you have paid parking and the're always some places... Beautiful place!
The principal reason to view Mont Royal is to see the city of Montreal from its highest point. Worth visiting but you definitely start to have shortness of breath once you start going up. It's basically trekking up the steep slopes and is not recommended for old and infirm people. On a bright clear day the view is nice.
Just next door to the golden square mile, Mount Royal is excellent for an outing and step back a bit from the buzz of the city. The observation point gives a fantastic panoramic view over the city and the south side of Montreal.
Every Sunday aside of rue du pArc there is a hue croud in picnic with lot of peoples playing all kind of tam tam. THis place is well known for tis activity.
