Easy walk up wide, tiny-graveled path. Paid parking, $6CAD we paid for 1.5-2 hours. View of the city is at the Chalet. You can see essentially the whole city. Great view. Local tourism office said it's a great place to watch the sunrise, though we went mid-day. We also did the loop to the summit. Not much to see, mostly in the trees, but nice wide, graveled path.

We took the train and 165 bus to the entrance off Chem de la Cote des Neiges. From there it was a pleasant walk to the pond and then up to the top where we took in the view. You could see the mountains in the distance. We had some coffee and tea at the chalet and sat outside. Even though it was a Monday morning, there were a fair number of people at the top. We then continued up the hill to see the Mount Royal Cross. The climb was not too strenuous and the paths were well marked.

Beautiful and nice walk! Note that the St Joseph Orator (basilica) in the photo is far from Mont Royal. You must visit the nearby pond/ lake which Is beautiful and well maintained.

The huge park in the middle of the city is much-loved and much-used. But it is so big that you will never experience crowds. If you have the energy, I recommend that you climb the steps up to the top where you will be rewarded with splendid views and a charming inn where you can enjoy a beverage. Lots of other recreational attractions.

What an amazing park. First off, it's huge and there are many rec activites to do. We hiked to the top to take in the city view. Pretty easy hike or there is a different way to park your car and walk there. Def a must do in Montreal

We walked from our downtown Montreal hotel early after breakfast as we planned to do a lot of miles today. We entered through the Jeanne Mance Park, followed the trails up the Grand Staircase (could be a bit strenuous) to the city views from the Chalet area. We also did the summit trail around the cross to views on the other side, then walked the Olmstead path near the lake and boathouse area to exit on the opposite side. We loved it!

Easy to get lost, be careful, big area. Use maps app. Great views of course. We took bus drop off, then got back on a different location, almost got lost, had to ask directions. Cooler on top, bring water and snacks.

Multiple trails to explore this lovely park inside the city. Trail maps available online; you can follow the paved road or take one of the more adventurous paths through the woods. At the top is the chalet with food and beverages available not to mention a breathtaking view of the city

This is a green space outside the city. It's such a beautiful space. We took a taxi to the park. We peeked around La Maison. The staff was really helpful. There is a little coffee shop there. We hiked to the lake. It's very pleasant with rowboats and green grass where you can lay u r blanket. There are stone sculptures in the center of the area. We walked to a spot with views of the city, it took about 15 min. The views are gorgeous. You can see panoroma of the buildings, mountains and river. We hiked to the cross which was another 15 min away. We climbed the stairs down to another viewpoint where we jumped on a city bus to get down the hill. You need exact change for the bus. It was a lovely experience.

Mont Royal is worth a visit, on a good day. The views are spectacular and Smith House has a fine cafe. However, this review is principally about getting there. You might consider taking the Metro to Peel station, then walking up Peel Street and onwards into the park via the southern entry point. Let me stop you now. This route might be suitable for an Olympic athlete in training for some leg intensive sport, but it is pure insanity for normal humans. The climb from Peel station to the Royal Chalet in Mont Royal Park, is epic to say the least. Take an Uber to Smith House, in Remembrance Road, and start your explorations there. By all means walk down and you will see what I mean.
