Bringing a Friend To Montreal for His First Time?

[Loco101]

Just to let you know, Mount Royal is not close to Olympic Stadium. The biodome, insectarium and botanical gardens are right next to the stadium.

If you're taking the Metro then it's not all that long of a ride between those areas. Mount Royal is just to the Northwest of the downtown. You can walk up to the end of Peel Street and there are stairs going up and you should easily find the lookout as a lot of people head there and there are signs telling you the way. It's stairs only part of the way up if I remember correctly. It's mostly a wide pedestrian trail if I remember correctly and not steep as it zig zags so it's not all that tiring.
