  • I used the train to get to Montreal. It was a nice ride from Toronto. http://www.viarail.com/ The Metro is very easy and convenient for getting around Montreal. http://www.lookmontreal.com/mapmetro.html

  • Tip Rating:
  • there is a train that departs once a day from NYC, but it leaves at 7am and is really expensive. the greyhound is still expensive too. it took a helluva long time to pass by the border inspectors--the US customs & immigration people were much pickier and took more time than the Canadians. for some reason greyhound cut a deal with this guy in saratoga springs, so there is a totally useless bus break right after and before the on in Albany wherein you are herded into this cheezy restaraunt. the Montreal metro uses the same cars as the new york subway! because in fact, all NYC subway cars are made in Quebec! neat. this creates a sensation of perpetual dejavu

  • Tip Rating:
  • Depending on the distance you have to travel, a car ride is an easy task. Montreal has quite an impressive and efficient rapid transit system. Also Dorval international airport is veery close by. The best way to get around Montreal is by foot. The Metro also offers an inexpensive 7-Day Metro pass for only $12.50(CAD) This includes all Metros and buses throughout the city.

    Little of Everything: Welcome to Montreal!
  • Tip Rating:
  • You can fly in to the Dorval or Mirabel airports. We also have a port and driving in from the US or anywhere else i canada is fairly easy thanks to our highways. We also have a big train terminal downtown. For the more adventurous, we are connected to Quebec, Florida and the rest of Canada through a huge bike path system that is well indicated and easy to use.

    Little of Everything: Montreal has two airports,...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Montreal has two airports, Miribel and Dorval, one for international flights, and the other for domestic, but I don't remember which. First Air flies to Iqaluit on Baffin Island , which is one of the main Arctic transport hubs. From London, we flew with Canada 2000. I stuck to walking, but my friends tell me there is a good underground transport system, not to mention the underground shopping 'city'. Horse and cart is a touristy way to see the main sights. There are also boats along the river, as well as an 'Amphibus' which travels on land and water. Jetboats also do speedy trips on the river, but I don't think they are cheap.

    Little of Everything: The best way around
  • Tip Rating:
  • Probably the best way to visit Montreal aside from your own two feet or a bicycle, is to use the public transportation, since a car ride can very easily get on your nerve (I must speak from experience!!!). I'm just kidding, renting a car is a good idea since the region is so big and you wouldn't want to miss a thing. But to travel in the city, an extensive metro and bus system will take you everywhere. A ticket to go anywhere on the system is 2$ (you can buy 6 for 8.50$). There is also budget passes: CamHebdo to travel all day saturday and sunday for 13.50$ and touristic card 7$ for one day, 14$ for 3 days. Get a map! stcum.qc.ca

    Little of Everything: Like any big city... But the...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Like any big city... But the Train system here sucks. It is both very expensive and slow. Gaz in not very expensive (0.70$ CAN/litter). The public transportation system here is both cheap and efficient. Very secure and confortable, it covers much of the nice spots of the Island. It is also very easy to use. It will average 2$ CAN for a ticket, but an weekly card with unlimited access is around 13$, and it is good for both bus and Metro. A MUST!! Montreal is also renown in North America as one of the best city for bicycling (as far as it can be good in a North American City...). Just avoid the biggest streets and respect the signalisation. There is a nice web of dedicated spaces for bike to go around and these will always bring you to a nice place to visit!!! Unfortunalty, like in many American city, cars are king of the road here, so watch for 'em. This makes it usually easy to get around in one. Parking is something confusing though.

    Little of Everything: If you're from the south...
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you're from the south shore, take a bus. Or you can even bike across the Jacques Cartier bridge. I came close to doing it one day, starting from LaPrairie (waaaaaaaaay over on the other side of the shore!) but didn't...don't know why! Ima try again this summer, with a friend preferably (so we can go through the trauma together!) that bridge is rocky and always busy, always! :-) BMW: Bus/Metro/Walk! Walk, walk, walk baby! I loooooooove to walk in Montreal, I rarely take the buses there...But if it's a long way to go, the metro is your quickest and most practical way.
