| - It doesn't matter how touristy this place can be, though its much more than a tourist destination. If you plan a trip to Montreal without going to Mont Royal and especially if you're a park lover, you'll be doing yourself an injustice.
Mont-Royal is much more than just a tourist destination with an awesome view of the city of Montreal. It's an oasis within the city. Once you make your trek onto the mountain park, you'll slowly hear the sounds of the city dissipate and transition into serenity and tranquility.
You can take the main road and traverse the park or you can take the off beaten paths and really get lost and see where it will lead. It's a huge park and there's so much to explore, nature to witness and a workout to get in.
I wish I can write an enticing, majestic, poetic review but I'm not really good at it. Believe me, come here if you're in Montreal and just get lost. Enjoy the lake, enjoy the cemetery, enjoy climbing up the steep paths of the mountain park, bike ride, ride, jog. Come for Tams Tams, people watching, picnic, sports.
This park has joined my ranks of favorite parks so far along with Central Park, Gantry State Park and Prospect Park and I'm sure you'll fall in love with it to.
