Romantic Locations in Montreal for Outdoor Lovers

1. Mont Tremblant

This charming resort town in the Laurentian Mountains offers romantic settings for a proposal, such as the scenic views from the summit of Mont-Tremblant, or the cozy atmosphere of the pedestrian village with its boutique shops and cafes.

2. Old Montreal

With its cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and European charm, Old Montreal is one of the most romantic neighborhoods in the city. Proposing in the charming Place Jacques-Cartier, amidst street performers and outdoor cafes, or on a horse-drawn carriage ride through the old streets, can be incredibly romantic.

3. Bell Centre - Montreal Canadiens

The Bell Centre is home to the Montreal Canadiens, one of the most iconic teams in NHL history. Attending a Canadiens game is a must for any hockey fan, with an electric atmosphere and passionate crowd. Even outside of game days, you can take a guided tour of the arena to learn about its history and see behind-the-scenes areas.

4. Mount Royal Park

Mount Royal Park offers breathtaking panoramic views of Montreal from the iconic Kondiaronk Belvedere. Propose while surrounded by nature during a peaceful walk through its trails or in winter, near the snow-covered trees. The park's romantic atmosphere is perfect for a heartfelt and scenic proposal.

5. Old Port of Montreal

The Old Port's cobblestone streets and historic charm create a magical setting for a proposal. Pop the question by the waterfront, during a sunset stroll, or on the Ferris wheel for a memorable moment. The blend of history and romance makes it an iconic spot in the city.

6. Notre-Dame Basilica

The grandeur of the Notre-Dame Basilica provides a breathtaking backdrop for a proposal. Propose in the quiet reverence of its beautifully lit interior or in the plaza outside with its historic charm. The stunning architecture makes this a truly special place to begin your journey together.

Set on two islands in the St. Lawrence River, Parc Jean-Drapeau offers picturesque views and peaceful walking paths. Propose near the iconic Biosphere or by the waterfront for a unique and scenic engagement. The park’s natural beauty combined with its modern landmarks creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

Montreal is full of romantic canals, markets, and rivers. These are some especially romantic locations for a proposal over a glass of wine, at a spectacular park, or on a beautiful canal.

8. Lachine Canal

The Lachine Canal is a romantic spot with its peaceful pathways and charming waterfront views. Rent a kayak or enjoy a bike ride along the canal before proposing at a scenic point. This mix of activity and serenity creates a memorable experience.
