Surprisingly, it is the tallest inclined tower in the world, standing at 165 meters high at a 45-degree angle. In comparison, the leaning Tower of Pisa only has a 5-degree lean. It also sometimes known as the Olympic Tower.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The summit of the Olympic Tower provides some of the most spectacular view of Montreal and the St. Lawrence Plain. This incredible panoramic view has earned the tower one of the best views of Montreal.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A visit to the Olympic Tower features a ride to the summit of the tower in a glass-encased funicular, the only one in the world that operates on a curved structure. It takes about two minutes to reach the summit and the cabin is kept leveled thanks to a unique hydraulic system. Visitors can reach the top of the Montreal Tower on a mesmerizing climb in a glass-encased funicular that holds up to 76 passengers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asides from the Olympic Tower itself, there is plenty to see and do around the Olympic Tower and the Olympic Park. You can visit various Olympic installations including the <a href=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/olympic-stadium-stade-olympique\/\">Olympic Stadium<\/a> and a sports center that boasts seven pools for aquatic sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-from-top.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-40\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-from-top.jpg\" alt=\"montreal-tower-view-from-top\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-from-top.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-from-top-432x270.jpg 432w, https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-from-top-960x600.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-olympic-park.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-38\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-olympic-park.jpg\" alt=\"montreal-olympic-park\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-olympic-park.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-olympic-park-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-olympic-park-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-vertical.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-36\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-vertical.jpg\" alt=\"montreal-tower-vertical\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-vertical.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-vertical-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-vertical-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-dining.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-dining.jpg\" alt=\"montreal-tower-view-dining\" width=\"1024\" height=\"825\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-dining.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-dining-335x270.jpg 335w, https:\/\/gotourismguides.com\/montreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/montreal-tower-view-dining-745x600.jpg 745w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Olympic Tower (<em>La Tour de Montr\u00e9al<\/em>) is one of the most recognizable landmarks of Montreal&#8217;s Olympic Park.
