Montréal Tower and Olympic Park

Built for the 1976 Summer Olympic Games, the Olympic Stadium is the Olympic Park's centre piece. Designed by French architect, Roger Tallibert, impressive in size and shape (and cost, over $1 billion), and topped by the tallest inclined tower in the world (175m/575ft), the Olympic Stadium quickly became a choice location for major sporting events, rock concerts and mass gatherings. The stadium is able to hold up to 80,000 spectators. A cable car-type elevator brings visitors to the top-three observation floors, where they have a superb view of Montréal and its surroundings. Guided tours of the Olympic Stadium are available. The sports centre, at the foot of the Tower, holds six pools for aquatic sports as well as a multi-sport facility. The Olympic Park complex also features the unique attraction known as the Biodome, a building containing four ecosystems. Visitors can move from a tropical rainforest to a polar world, with stops in a Laurentian forest and St Lawrence marine environment en route. A museum dedicated to the late hockey legend Maurice 'Rocket' Richard is also part of the complex. Opposite the park pop over to view the wonderful Botanical Gardens, which are the second largest in the world. Global Hotels operate over 150 travel sites for all major worldwide locations.
