"All in the golden afternoon...."

Rated this place:

Mount Royal Park is 101-hectares of terrain, beautiful scenery, and sporting activities for the whole family. Featuring leash free dog trails, inner tubing, cross-country ski trails, snowshoeing, hiking, outdoor skating on Beaver Lake, bird-watching, pedal-boating, and more. Rental equipment is available for many activities, and there are guided tours for tourists or school groups. Arrive on foot by avenue du Parc at rue Rachel, Avenue du Pins at Peel, Côte-des-Neiges via the Trafalgar stairs, or by bike via picturesque Olmsted Road. A wonderful way to spend a sunny weekend afternoon. Nothing welcomes summer like a checkered picnic blanket, a baguette, a bunch of grapes, some cheese (maybe even a hidden tetra-pack of wine), a shady spot, and your date.

Sunday afternoon spot

Rated this place:

Venture to Tams Tams for a nice Sunday afternoon activity. Spread yourself out on a beach towel or blanket, gossip with your girlfriends and simply relax to the sound of hundreds of beating drums. The melodies are actually really great, quite amazing.

View of the city

Rated this place:

It's a bit of a trek up the mountain, which to me is like the focal point of the city, but once you finally make your way up the path you start to see Montreal at its finest.
