The 6 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Canada
Montreal, c’est si bon! This French-speaking city is considered the cultural capital of Canada, and is a cosmopolitan celebration of Québécois style. A horse-drawn carriage ride around the cobblestone streets and grand buildings of Vieux-Montréal will give you a taste of European flavor. The Basilique Notre-Dame is a confection of stained glass, and the Plateau Mont-Royal district will delight you with its quaint boutiques and cafés. Dig in to a massive plate of poutine to fuel up for a tour of the epic Olympic Park.

A daring architectural site, the Olympic Park was built to accommodate the 1976 Summer Olympics and has since been host to more than one hundred million visitors. Whether to admire Montreal from atop the highest inclined tower in the world, to attend an event in the Stadium, to exercise at the Sports Centre or to take part in an outdoor event at the Esplanade Financiere Sun Life, there is something for everyone. The Olympic Park grounds and its thirteen on-site partners are visited by more than four million people every year. Open to the world and in harmony with the neighbouring community of Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, the Olympic Park has become a unique recreational and tourist attraction where creation, discovery, entertainment, and sport coexist side-by-side. New for the summer 2016 The Souvenirs of 1976 exhibit will take you back in time to (re)live the Montreal Olympic adventure-from the project's tentative beginnings to today, when the flame still burns.

This attraction is simple and to the point. We had not originally planned on visiting the Olympic Park, but we had the 3 Day Museum Passport and decided to stop by after the Botanical Gardens. You get a brief (bilingual) tour of the building, including learning about some notable people and moments from the 1976 Olympics. You also learn a little bit about the architecture and the building of the Olympic Park, as well as the current uses for the building. The building is still vibrant and is still currently used for sports - the Montreal football team sometimes practices there, the soccer stadium is next door, and the pools and other spaces are used for training (including training future Olympians!). I was most excited to learn that the pool is open to the public ($7 entry), so if you want to keep up with your lap swimming while in Montreal, grab a pool schedule!
