Belvédère Kondiaronk and the Mount Royal Chalet
From here you read the whole city in section: the modernist downtown towers, the older low-rise grid, the river plain beyond. The 1932 chalet behind the lookout is a fine Beaux-Arts pavilion worth stepping into. Come at golden hour, when the low sun models the towers and the grey-stone city warms.
Olmsted's mountain park lookout and its 1932 Beaux-Arts chalet — the best place to read Montreal's skyline and how the city steps to the river.
