Montreal’s Hidden Gems: Best Bars, Restaurants, Shops, and Parks | Eater
"The heart, soul, and lungs of the city, Mount Royal (the Mountain) is a must destination for every visitor to Montreal. Designed by Frederic Law Olmsted — one of the world’s original landscape architects, who designed New York’s Central Park — the Mountain has tree-lined walking, jogging, and biking paths and offers the chance to ski, snowshoe, and skate in the winter. An oasis of natural calm in the center of the city, don’t miss the view (and a photo op) at the Chalet on top of the mountain, with its spectacular view of downtown and the rivers and mountains beyond. To learn more about the ecology and conservation of the Mountain, check out Les Amis de la Montagne and their programming of tree planting and other conservation activities." - Vox Creative
