Olympic Stadium

The Olympic Stadium in Montreal is a large sports facility built in 1976 for the Olympic Games and continues to host various events today. Its most distinctive feature is a 165-meter-high inclined tower that rises at an angle and stands out clearly against the city skyline.

The stadium was planned for the 1976 Olympic Games, but construction stretched much longer than expected, taking roughly ten years beyond the original timeline. The project became costly and shaped the city's history through the challenges encountered in completing it.

The stadium serves as a gathering place for major sports events, international concerts, and community celebrations that regularly draw thousands of visitors. These events have become part of the city's cultural rhythm and create shared experiences for the community.

The stadium is easily accessible by metro via the Pie-IX and Viau stations, with around 4,000 parking spaces available around the complex. During events, public transport can be a good alternative, especially when parking is full.

The stadium's tower is the world's tallest inclined structure, offering an observation deck with panoramic views across Montreal. Visitors can take an elevator up to experience the city from this unusual vantage point.
