At 165 metres high with a 45-degree angle, the Montréal Tower holds the Guinness World Record as the tallest man-made leaning tower in the world.
You can find the Montréal Tower in almost every local travel guide, including the prestigious Michel Guide. It’s considered a Montreal must-see and an unmistakable part of the city’s skyline, representing Montreal around the world and serving as a reminder of our exceptional Olympic facilities.
THE MONTREAL TOWER IS CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
The Olympic Park is currently revamping the Montréal Tower’s tourist spaces as part of a large-scale renovation project. This will provide an unparalleled experience for visitors—one never before seen in Quebec.
The Welcome Hall at the base of the Tower, along with the tourist spaces at the top, will be completely transformed—including allowing access to the Observatory roof.
A modern, glass-enclosed cabin will replace the original funicular, and a thrilling new walkway—the first of its kind in the province—will complete the experience.
The Montréal Tower is set to re-open to visitors in 2027, providing a whole new view of the city!
Unfortunately, it is not possible to reserve a space at the Tower or to book group visits at this time.
Until then, here’s a sneak peek at what’s happening behind the scenes:
Did you know?
The Montréal Tower funicular is the only one in the world that operates on a curved structure. Its hydraulic system allows the cabin to remain horizontal.
