The 234m (768 ft.) Mount Royal, or Mont Royal in French, lies to the north of downtown Montreal. The tree-covered hill is near McGill University and is part of the Mount Royal Park—a wooded escape from the city with great views of the St. Lawrence River.
Getting to Mount Royal Park
Visitors can walk, bus, taxi or drive to Mount Royal Park, which is loosely bound by the streets Chemin de la Côte Neiges, Avenue Cedar and Avenues des Pines, Avenue du Parc, and Chemin Remembrance. The park is a 4km (2.5 mile), uphill walk from historic downtown town, while transit users will take the metro to the Mont-Royal station then hop the number 11 Montange bus.
