The Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Canada, was built for the 1976 Summer Olympics and remains one of the city's best-known landmarks. Its design is striking, and it is often the first thing visitors notice when they arrive in the east of the city.
What to see
- The stadium itself, a large venue with a distinctive architectural form that makes it worth seeing up close.
- The tower, which is the tallest inclined tower in the world. From its viewing area you can enjoy panoramic views over the city.
- Olympic Park, the wider grounds around the stadium, where you can walk, take in the setting and learn about the site's place in the city's history.
What kind of visit it makes
The stadium works well as a half-day outing. Come for the architecture and the views, and allow time to walk the park at an easy pace. Because it is a working hub of sports and events, the atmosphere on the day you visit will depend on what is taking place, so it is worth checking ahead what is scheduled.
