6 Secret Montreal Places To See If You Want To Go Outside But Don't Want To See Anyone

Sorry can't talk — I'm socially distancing.
Contributing Writer

I don't know about you, but with everything going on in the world, I find myself in this weird headspace where all I want to do leave the house and finally get a change of scenery, but I also can't fathom the thought of running into anyone.

That's why I decided to think of secret places in and around Montreal that I can head to when I want to leave the house to get out, but I know I can also get some peace and quiet.

Does that make me socially anti-social or does that make me anti-socially social?

Editor's Choice: 9 Side Hustles You Can Do In Montreal If You're Looking To Make An Extra Dollar

Pratt Park

Address: 795, ave. Dunlop, Montreal, QC

Why You Need To Go: One of Montreal's lesser-known and less-visited parks, this is the perfect spot when you want to enjoy the greenery of the city without all of the people.

Super Loco

Address: 5417, boul. Saint-Laurent (entrance at the back), Montreal, QC

Why You Need To Go: This spot will give you all of the colour and excitement that you're missing in your life right now.

Péché

Address: 3998, rue St. Denis, Montreal, QC

Why You Need To Go: When you need to satisfy your caffeine-craving, but don't want to run into almost everyone you know, just look for the red wall and get a coffee to go.

Belvédère Outremont

Address: 1J4, chemin de Polytechnique, Montreal, QC

Why You Need To Go: If you love the mountain, but don't love swarms of other mountain-climbers, head to Belvédère Outremont instead of the usual lookout spot.

Marguerite Bourgeoys Historic Site

Address: 400, rue Saint-Paul E., Montreal, QC

Why You Need To Go: If you love the architecture in the city, but don't want to head to the usual buildings, head to another amazing spot in Old Montreal that isn't Notre Dame.

Bois de l'Équerre

Address: 49, rang de l'Équerre, Laval, Quebec

Why You Need To Go: Just outside the city, you can get back to nature and get back to some much-needed me-time.
