The observatory is forever closed
Sep. 2021 • Friends
We were surprised when we got there as the observatory closed down and it is no longer possible to visit it. Save yourself some time and do not bother to go.

View of the Island
Jul. 2020
This is a great first stop in Montreal because they have an area with computers that can help you decide what your interests are and what you want to see during your visit. Then you can see the whole island, pick a nice sunny day. They also have a restaurant or ou can just have a drink.

View before you visit Montreal
Jan. 2020
I love highs, and this is the first thing I did when I arrived in Montreal. Although it was a bit tricky to reach the location, once you are there it is all good. The Observatoire has seating areas, good view over the city with maps that show landmarks and information.

The most beautiful view of the city indeed!
So I have been to three view point of the city.
1. Ferris wheel at the port of an old city
2. Observatory 360 in the city centre
3. Mont royal park
I can say that observatory give you the biggest angle of view (360), so you can see everything in any direction possible. You can see Olympic stadium, old port, almost everything. So it is worth visiting.
2. Mont royal park view point is mainly facing city centre, but you can also view some other parts of the city, so it is not as good as observatory, but it is definitely worth visiting
3. From ferris wheel you can't see much because of the skyscrapers, so it is not really worth it.

Great Views
Dec. 2019

So much fun to see the whole city laid out - staff is very pleasant and helpful once you get to the ticket office but a little hard to find the ticket office in the first place. A few more signs would be helpful. CIty is not too tall, except for one area so views are not blocked. Worth a trip.
