Quick ride by bicycle from Montreal to Westmount

Get ready for a super scenic and surprisingly chill ride from Montreal’s downtown to the charming city of Westmount! The route clocks in at just under 5 km, perfect for a laid-back afternoon pedal. You’ll mostly enjoy smooth asphalt and paved paths, with a little bit of gravel thrown in—so a hybrid or city bike will be right at home.

Starting in Montreal, Quebec’s vibrant metropolis known for its diverse neighborhoods and excellent food scene, you’ll cruise through an interesting mix of pedestrian areas and quieter roads (almost no busy traffic—yay!). There’s a gentle climb at first, but overall you’re headed downhill as you descend into Westmount, a leafy, historic suburb famous for its opulent early-20th-century architecture and gorgeous parks.

This short hop is a favorite for local cyclists who want a mental reset—and don’t mind mixing some urban charm with a taste of suburbia. Don’t forget to stop and check out Westmount Park at the end for a well-earned break, or grab a coffee on Sherbrooke Street before heading home. Happy cycling!
