Au Sommet Place Ville Marie (Observation Deck)
If you want a paid, indoor, 360-degree view to complement the free mountain lookout, this is the one — the 46th floor of I.M. Pei's cruciform tower, all-glass, seeing everything from the river to the Olympic Stadium to Mount Royal. It's around $20, has an outdoor terrace, and is best at dusk. The mountain gives you the classic skyline; this gives you the full panorama. One quirk: buy tickets at the café, not an obvious desk.
The 46th-floor, all-glass 360° observation deck downtown — the widest paid view of the city, with an outdoor terrace and a sunset payoff.
