All things considered, Montreal is a great city to visit on a budget. There are fantastic cheap food options, it’s very walkable and there are ample free activities to do and things to see – especially in the summer, when practically every week is dedicated to a different low-cost festival. Despite the influx of free attractions in the summer months, Montreal has its fair share of accessible year-round activities that you can enjoy without breaking the bank. Below are some of the city’s top free things to do at any time of the year.
One of Montreal’s main attractions is its namesake, the Mount Royal. The three-peaked hill in the center of the city is home to the Mount Royal Park, designed by renowned architect Frederick Law Olmsted, of New York’s Central Park fame. No matter the season, a walk up the mountain to the panoramic belvedere is a must. Beyond taking in the view, visitors of Mount Royal Park can be found picnicking, lounging by Beaver Lake or partaking in various sports. It’s worth making a day out of, and the mountain can be accessed by several scenic walking paths or the 11 bus. Read the full travel article here.
