Mont-Royal is a big hill overlooking the island of Montréal and Saint Lawrence River. The Beaver Lake, Kondiaronk Belvédère and the Mont-Royal Cross within Parc du Mont-Royal are among the most popular spots in the area to visit. There are numerous trails that you can take. If you’re up for some good cardio workout, try climbing up Mont-Royal stairs, with 400 steps going up the mountain starting from the corner of Peel street and Pine Avenue (which we did and was totally worth it). You’ll be rewarded with a refreshing and stunning view on the hilltop. Finish off the morning with a nice and filling breakfast/brunch at Café des Amis/Pavillon du Lac-aux-Castors.
We also took some photos of the castle-like buildings on our way to the stairs, just along Peel Street. They were giving us the hogwarts vibe. But they’re actually university residences. How cool is that! It was quite a sight!
