Mount Royal

Mount Royal, a 764-foot (233-meter) peak in the heart of Montreal, is a beloved green space designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the architect behind New York City’s Central Park. Spanning 470 acres (190 hectares), Mount Royal Park features forest trails, monuments, and grassy meadows. In summer, the park teems with cyclists, joggers, sunbathers, and picnickers, while winter brings snowshoers, tobogganers, ice skaters, and cross-country skiers. From the summit lookout, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the city on a clear day, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
