Jet Boating Montreal | Saute-Moutons

Rue Peel Steps

Historical landmark

👍 The start. Of a lot of steps. Going up is harder than going down! :P So you've decided to walk up the steps to the top of Mont Royal. Get off at Peel Metro and head up the hill. It's a steep walk up a sidewalk on a quiet part of Peel Street. At the top of the street where it ends at Avenue des Pins...

Leonard Cohen Home

Historical landmark

👍👍 Although this is only one of Cohen's many homes, it is still heartwarming to walk in the places where his own feet once tread. This is a private home, so if you visit, you must respect the current owners. You can not go into the home, and you shouldn't knock and ask to enter. There is a park acro...

Berlin wall

Historical landmark

👍👍 It’s a remarkable piece of history preserved in this publicly accessible establishment. I loved reading through the history of this concrete fragment and is a must see if you are around. They have done a good job placing it centrally in a shopping mall. Check it out and read about it.

Roddick Gates

Historical landmark

😐 It can be a little cleaner, and it would be nice if there were no hammocks tied to the trees.. There are a lot of trees and picnic tables which for nice sunny days. Unfortunately, there are too many squirrels, but if you're not afraid, then that's ok.
