About

Der Parc olympique in Montréal ist ein ikonisches Komplex, der für die Olympischen Sommerspiele 1976 erbaut wurde. Er umfasst das markante geneigte Turm – das höchste Gebäude der Welt – und das Olympiastadion, das heute ein wichtiges Wahrzeichen und eine beliebte Touristenattraktion in der Stadt ist.

The Parc olympique, or Olympic Park, sits in Montreal, Canada, and was built for the 1976 Summer Olympics. It remains one of the city's best-known landmarks and a common stop for visitors exploring the city.

What you will see

  • The inclined tower, which is the tallest in the world, leaning over the site and visible from far across the city.

  • The Olympic Stadium, the main venue of the complex and a central part of the park.

  • The open grounds around the buildings, which give the park its sense of scale.

Planning your visit

The park is located at 375, boulevard Cardinal-Léger, in Montreal. It works well as a half-day outing, whether you are interested in architecture, sport, or the story of the city's Olympic years. Because it is a landmark attraction, many visitors combine it with other stops in Montreal, and it is an easy addition to a wider itinerary of the city.

If you are travelling with an interest in design, the tower's striking inclined form makes the site worth a look from more than one angle. Check current arrangements for entry and tower access before you go, as these can change.
