Smack in the middle of the Island of Montreal is its pride and joy, Mount Royal. This small mountain and Quebec Heritage site offers some of the best views, nature paths, winter sledding, and trails for (winter) biking, hiking, walking or jogging. With three public buildings on site for shelter, information and bathroom breaks, visiting the mountain is the ideal activity on a sunny afternoon—especially on summer Sundays for the Tam Tams, a freeform drum circle that’s been happening at the foot of George-Étienne Cartier Monument weekly for over 40 years.
UPDATE, winter 2022: Bring on winter! It’s easy to get into the festive spirit with the best holiday markets and skating rinks to the most stellar displays of Christmas lights and next-level meals. Montreal has so many amazing things to do, especially during December, we suggest you get out your calendar and let the fun begin!
