We didn't go the Peel route, but strolled up Mont-Royal street from the Mont-Royal Métro station on the northeast side of the park. Once we got to the park (no small journey) we found a trail and followed it. We kept climbing higher, then we went across the road to the path on the other side. It's very woodsy and... more

The Parc du Mont Royal is a large wooded park on the hill overlooking Montreal city. It can easily be walked from the city along Rue Peel. Continue right to the end of the street and look for a rough path directly opposite, this will take you into the park. Further up the path, there is a steep series of... more

On my last day in Montreal I wanted to head up Mont Royal. So I just started walking, up Peel St and then up the stairs and paths into the park. I took some of the narrow paths up through the trees and after eventually meeting up with the main road, made my way up to the Kondiaronk Belvedere. It's... more

Hey folks, I realized this short video, which explains how to get to the top of the mountain, and gives you a sneak peek of the view you will get once on top. Hope this resource helps you plan your trip! http://www.tourisme-montreal.org/Blogs/Girls-Getaway/A-Jog-with-a-View Smiles, Tamy xx more

On the negative side - the hike (not walk, not stroll; HIKE) to get up there on... more

There is very little lighting and poor signage, but I was able to make my way up to what I thought was the top. Turns out I... more

a lovely park, sprawling forest and greenery gives much needed shade in hot weather. The view from the chateau across Montreal is stunning. more

When we were in Montreal in July it was hot and humid so a visit to Mont Royal was thankfully cooler. We took the metro to Mont Royal station and then the 61(?) bus up to the car park beside the visitor centre where we picked up a map of the hill and area.It was a very pleasant walk up... more

We decided to make the trip up Mont Royal after a visit to the Museum of Art downtown. We had been told to enter from the University street side but were glad we took the other entrance. This place is very popular and there were big crowds going both ways but it is very confusing with no maps or signs... more
