"The Best View of Montreal Not unlike the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Empire State Building in NYC, the Mont Royal acts as a natural landmark for orientation-challenged travelers. The "mountain" (some would call it a big hill) overlooks the entire city and offers unparalleled panoramas of downtown and the Eastern Townships south of the city. The entire mountain is actually a city park, with many things to do besides admiring the view: tam-tam jams, bird watching, cycling, forest treks—and even skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and sledding in the winter. Brownie points if you make it to the Kodiaronk lookout at dawn, in time to see the sun rise behind the skyscrapers."

A must-visit spot in Montreal! The views of the city are absolutely stunning. The park itself is beautiful year-round, whether in winter or summer. It’s a popular destination, so it can get busy, but the experience is well worth it. You can walk up from the city, but be prepared for a steep climb with lots of stairs—it feels like a bit of a hike. Alternatively, you can park at the top and enjoy a leisurely walk around. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A breathtaking view! Kondiaronk Belvedere is an absolute gem in Montreal. The panoramic view of the city skyline from this spot is nothing short of spectacular. Whether you visit during the day, at sunset, or at night when the city lights sparkle, the view is always mesmerizing. The walk-up Mount Royal is well worth it and offers a great way to enjoy nature right in the heart of the city. The lookout itself is spacious, with plenty of room to sit and soak in the scenery. It's also a great spot for photos! Highly recommend this as a must-visit for tourists and a peaceful retreat for locals. Don’t forget to bring water and wear comfy shoes for the hike up.

The view from the top is amazing! You can see for miles on end and over the tops of the buildings. Go on a clear day though, as you won't see much if it is foggy. If you get tired easily, this might not be for you. It's not very taxing but be warned. It is very worth it though.

This is a pretty amazing vantage point over downtown Montreal. If you are coming from the plateau neighbourhood, there are a good number of steps to climb. A much more accessible option is to drive into the park and then walk from there. There are many of spots to relax and take in the scenery, and there's an interior lounge area where you can occasionally get food and drink (but don't quote me on that). If you need them, there are restrooms inside as well. However, the major reasons to visit this location are to take in the view of downtown, to relax in the park, and to visit the sizable cemetery that is located nearby. With any luck, the

What a breathtaking view of the city, definitely worth the walk up. It’s very icy though, so be prepared and make sure you’re bundled up as well.

Pictures do not justify the view of the city. We made our trek to this look off on a humid early October morning. The site is large enough to give people their moment at the wall taking their pictures and enjoying the view while others can enjoy it at a distance. There is a building on site that has a small souvenir shop inside and one area that sells food. We struck out looking for bottled water, but we could have had slushies. Other than that, the only other thing we can suggest is better signage when coming from the main road. But, ending on a positive note, the view is worth it no matter how far you have come to see it.

My visit to Kondiaronk Belvedere was nothing short of spectacular! As someone who loves panoramic views and historical sites, this lookout point on Mount Royal exceeded all my expectations. The view of downtown Montreal from here is simply stunning, especially at sunset when the city lights start to twinkle. Getting to Kondiaronk Belvedere is a pleasant experience in itself. Whether I chose to hike up the trails or take a leisurely walk, the journey was filled with lush greenery and scenic spots. Once I reached the top, the expansive view of the city, the St. Lawrence River, and beyond was truly breathtaking.

my recommendations: choose a sunny day and be sure to climb up to the observation deck on foot, this view is worth it, you can reward yourself with hot chocolate in a coffee at the top, now is the perfect time for such an active holiday, when the whole mountain is in golden leaves
