of the world’s largest pipe organs. A spectacular
historical monument, it is also one of Montreal’s
finest attractions.
Montreal
Botanical Gardens
Founded in 1931, the Montreal Botanical Gardens is still
one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Home
to over 21,000 different types and species of plants,
it is also one of the largest. Amazingly, there are
thirty different theme gardens targeting different cultures
such as the French and Japanese, as well as topics like
poisonous plants and exhibition green houses. These
gardens are not only esthetically pleasing, but educational
as well. There are a team of scientists, botanists and
horticulturalists that work behind the scenes to provide
as much information as possible to interested visitors.
Open 365 days a year and offering plenty of exhibitions,
it is a proud attribution to the residents of Montreal.
