Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in 1874, Montreal's beloved "mountain" spans 100 hectares of forests, meadows, and lookouts, including the iconic Kondiaronk belvedere. Year-round, it offers skating, hiking, and the famous Sunday tam-tams — a true urban wilderness five minutes from downtown.

Two islands in the St. Lawrence River, five minutes from downtown Montreal, hosting 25+ km of trails, a massive outdoor pool, sandy beach, public art, and landmarks from Expo 67 and the 1976 Olympics — all reachable by bike, ferry, or metro.

One of the world's largest botanical gardens, this 75-hectare Montréal landmark holds 22,000 plant species across 30 themed gardens and 10 greenhouses. Open year-round, highlights include a Japanese garden, Chinese Ming-dynasty garden, and a stunning autumn Gardens of Light event.
