Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery
Easily the most beautiful cemetery to walk around, NDN Cemetery got its first resident in 1855. A National Historic Site of Canada, it’s the largest cemetery in the country and counts about 1 million, um, residents. It covers a large, 341-acre swath of Mount Royal and has over 13,500 trees, including some rare specimens, giving it a sense of removed contemplation in the heart of nature. You can enter it at the meeting point of Côte-des-Neiges and Chemin Camilien-Houde, but one cool way to access it is via Upper Outremont: you’ll find a little-known public entrance at the corner of Courletette and Boulevard Mont-Royal that leads you a looong way up a hill (not for the faint of heart — literally) to a beautiful viewpoint and some gates that will give you access to the graves.
