Made up of three summits—de la Croix, Westmount Summit and Tiohtià:ke Otsira’kéhne—and the city’s namesake centerpiece, Mont Royal is full of countless things to do all year long. In winter, slopes once dedicated to cross-country skiing are currently used as adrenaline-inducing tobogganing grounds, while warmer months are ideal for hiking and taking in views of the city. There’s Beaver Lake which supplies a great area to barbecue and relax, but it’s the northern side you’ll want to explore in summer when Tam-Tams takes place, a giant drum circle where many Montrealers can be found on Sundays.

Once known as an inner-city golf course—the links can still be spotted from a bird’s eye view—Parc Maisonneuve shares its borders with the Botanical Gardens.

In the late 1860s, 50 Italian families arrived in Montreal and made this lovely tree-lined neighborhood north of the Mile End home. Over the years, the Italian community has largely trickled out, but their impact is still felt with places like Caffè Italia for espresso and Quincaillerie Danté for kitchen supplies. Of course, Little Italy is also home to some of the city’s best pizza, with parlors like Gema and Pizza Bouquet holding it down.

Situated in Montréal’s Southwest borough, close to the Lachine Canal, Atwater Market takes its name from the avenue bordering it, which in turn was named after Edwin Atwater, a 19th century businessman and city councillor. The market has been in operation since 1933, and its Art Deco-style architecture places it among the most beautiful buildings in the city. Open year-round, Atwater Market is celebrated for its many butcher shops and cheesemongers, its horticultural producers in the spring, and its market gardeners, who set up their stands around the building as soon as summer begins.
