Belvédère Camillien-Houde

Montréal


This is the most popular lookout on Mont-Royal thanks to its accessibility and large parking lot. Naturally enough, it’s a magnet for couples once night falls, making it nearly impossible on summer nights to find a parking space – try taking the bus that stops right here. To get to the lookout, take the stairs that lead from the parking lot.

You can walk to Chalet du Mont-Royal, about 2km away.
