Is La Grande Roue de Montréal Worth It?

La Grande Roue de Montréal is worth it for visitors who want to see Montréal from above without spending several hours at an attraction.

• The ride takes around 20 minutes and gives you views across Old Montréal, Downtown Montréal, Mount Royal, the St. Lawrence River and the islands around the city.
• It is also practical to combine with other things to do in the Old Port, as it is close to attractions, restaurants and historic areas of Old Montréal.
• If you don't enjoy heights, however, a 60-metre-high observation wheel may not be the best choice.
