A trip to Montreal is incomplete without a ride on Canada’s tallest and largest observation wheel.

The wheel has 42 pods, each fitted with comfortable seating, air-conditioning, and clear glass for the finest view. It gives you a panoramic view of the city from a height of 60m.

Another adventurous, adrenaline-pumping way to explore Montreal is by zip-lining 1200 feet across the city.

A trip across Canada’s first urban zip-line circuit is definitely the most thrilling way to travel across the Old Port.

The tallest inclined tower in the world, this Montreal’s architectural marvel is 541 feet tall and tilts at an angle of 45 degrees. You can view the city from the tower's observation decks.

Yet another architectural marvel is the Jacques-Cartier bridge, which is illuminated by a phenomenal lighting system that truly exhibits the beat of the city.
