This beautiful Montreal park is the best place to watch the sunset

If witnessing a total solar eclipse in Montreal feels like a spiritual awakening, you're not alone. Although Montreal will be able to see a partial eclipse in 2025, we won't have a minute chance of catching a cosmic moment like April 8.

So why wait to feel alive again? Although it doesn't have the same effect, Montreal's sunset stirs similar emotions, and there's one place you'll fall in love with.

Parc René-Lévesque in Montreal's Lachine neighborhood is one of the best places to watch the sunset in Montreal, a solar event you can witness every night, weather permitting.

Located on the Chemin du Canal, Parc René-Levesque offers spectacular views of the St. Lawrence River, the South Shore (Chatagouay and Kanavack) and Lac Saint-Louis, all of which can be enjoyed from a stunning viewing area.

A popular summer spot, Lachine Lookout is open year-round and offers panoramic views of Montreal's waterfront. The tip of the peninsula is a sunset spot where you can enjoy a picnic, a walk with that special someone, or just relax and enjoy a solitary moment gazing into the distance.

The area features countless sculptures and permanent stonework, as well as a children's park, plenty of picnic benches and tables, and a designated path for pedestrians and cyclists. You can also enjoy the on-site arboretum, which contains countless trees and different types of plants.

At the tip of the peninsula, sunset anglers can enjoy views of the Lachine Lighthouse, where you can often watch fishing.

For those who want to party and make the most of your party, get ice cream from Dairy Queen. What's better than a Sunday and a sunset in St. Joseph, right?
