<\/a>The Mont-Royal is a darling among Montrealers for so many reasons. One of those reasons is it’s lookout East facing lookout point, a popular drive-in spot. You’ll get a view of the East side of the city, with the Olympic Stadium, downtown high rises, and the Main. It’s easy access nature and proximity to the Plateau make it a great quick sight seeing pit stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locals love to picnic along its patches of grass, ride their bike in its presence, or take a stroll there as the sun sets. Join them by renting a bike at Ma Byciclette <\/a>or take a jog from your hotel to get a genuine local experience. Visiting the Atwater market is another excellent way to gaze out at the Canal: fresh food vendors, a seasonal outdoor “food court” and the best ice cream in town are there to fill you up right before your Lachine Canal walking adventure. Fun fact: the Lachine Canal got its name from pioneers who thought it would lead them directly to China!<\/p>\n\n\n\n12.
