We've said it before and we'll say it again: Montreal is a pretty beautiful city. And as much as we love showing it off to visitors, we love getting spectacular views of our hometown, too. And why not? A city this beautiful deserves to be seen, and there are certain places in Montreal that offer the absolute best glimpses of what our city has to offer. When you think of where to get a pretty big picture of the island, you probably think of the chalet on top of Mount Royal.

But sometimes when you don't want to go to a crowded viewpoint, you want to try something new. Fortunately, there are so many other places to get incredible sights of our city that'll make you say "Wow!" no matter how many times you go there. Plus, seeing Montreal from all angles and all perspectives will give you exactly that: a new perspective on your city. Because even when you think you've seen it all, Montreal always finds a new way to surprise you. Take a look at the list below, and we'll see you there.
