Little of Everything: All the major Canadian...
  • Tip Rating:
  • All the major Canadian carriers fly to Montreal as well as American ones. Direct flights also come in from Europe.
    The city has a great transportation system. The metro runs until 11 pm on the blue line and about 1:30 on all other lines, starting very early in the morning. It is very clean and safe and runs very frequently- one every few minutes. It is easy to get around in and figure out. Buses also run frequently and everywhere (to destinations further away from the city and run way later than the metro for those who may be clubbing etc late) It is just under $2 for a one way ticket but if you are staying there longer, consider a pass hebdomadaire (weekly) for $13.50 (unlimited travel on metro and bus) or a pass mensuel (monthly) for about $40 (unlimited)- very much worth it. When buying however, it is advisable to buy on a Sunday or monday for the weekly passes to avoid getting yelled at my metro attendants. They seem to have a problem with this. If it is later in the week or month and you still want a pass go to the main station at Berri-UQAM to get a pass.
    You can also get around the suburbs and find trains to cities close by like Ottawa on trains at Bonaventure metro station (this is the main train station in Montreal).
    Cabs are also a good way for late night travel- I find that they are a lot cheaper than in other Canadian cities and can cost under $10 for a trip across town and about $20-$25 from the UdeM campus to the airport, although there is a city bus that does this, though much slower.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Well this is a really stupid blurb, obviously some people need to fly..some can drive. I see it's my place to tell you how to get there.. don't be offended, I'm just playin.
    I think walking is the best way, but you're going far or the weather is really bad, a taxi would be the second best choice.

  • Tip Rating:
  • You can get to Montreal by plane, train, bus, car, etc. They have a Greyhound bus station and a Via rail station.
    The bus or the metro (subway). 1 ride costs $2.00 but if you think you're going to be using that system a lot, I would recommend getting a day pass for $7. A 3 day pass is $14 and a weekly pass is about $12.50.

    Little of Everything: On my trip to Montreal, my...
  • Tip Rating:
  • On my trip to Montreal, my friends and I drove up in exactly 6 hours. We live in Northeast Massachusetts, and we stopped for lunch somewhere in Vermont.
    Montreal has an extensive subway system covering the entire city. And the best part of the underground is that it is very very clean (very different from the American subways). The other great thing is that there is an entire city located underground. Even though it is just like a mall, with many shops, it is still amazing to see the size of it.

    The other best way to get around the city is by walking. The city is very large, but I walked around the city for an entire day and it just makes you feel just how great each part of the city is.

    There are also many bus tours, some of which will even take you to different Canadian cities as part of a day trip. My friends took a coach bus tour when we were in Montreal, and they said that they were able to see all the major attractions and get plenty of photo opportunities.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Hey, depends where you're coming from!!!!
    You *can* use the taxis, but that gets to be a bit expensive. Your best bet is the buses and metro system on the island of Montréal. If you're heading out to the south shore. From Berri-UQAM metro station there is a bus service that has routes to Toronto, Ottawa and quite a few places in Québec. You can rent a car if you want, but if you're planning on staying in Montréal, I wouldn't recommend it. Finding parking downtown is a b****. Montréal is also known as a great bicycle city (in the summer months, of course).

  • Tip Rating:
  • Getting around by subway is a cheap and comfortable option. Montreal has a really good (but short) subway net.
    Another option is renting a bike (there are some places to do it in the old part of the city, near the river, and ride some of the long paths which go around the city and some islands.You can get more information in the tourist office in the corner of the Rue Notre Dame and Jacques Cartier, in the Champ of Mars.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Try and fly into Dorval not Mirabel airport as it is much easier. Also Train service by ViA rail or Amtrak will bring you right downtown.
    Montral has a great system of buses and cabs and an underground metro. Also most of the downtown core is connected by underground tunnels because in the winter it is just too darn cold to go walk outside sometimes.

    Little of Everything: It really depends where you...
  • Tip Rating:
  • It really depends where you are. If you're in Toronto or Ottawa, taking the train would be an easy and scenic way; it drops you off smack in the middle of downtown, too. From anywhere else, though, I would recommend flying. Unfortunately, you'll arrive at Dorval, which is currently a mess of an airport.
    One word: Métro! STCUM, the transit authority, runs a swift and efficient subway system. It'll take you everywhere you want to go (and some places you don't). The trains stop running at 1am, though, so it would be best to catch a cab at night - late-night buses are unreliable and slow.

    Montréal is also a good city for bicycling, so in the summer months that's a cool way to get around. There are only a few bike lanes, but the streets are generally narrow enough for you to travel swiftly and safely with motor traffic.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Take metro or cab, but the best way to get around is walking. Taxi is inexpensive, besides you may not need a taxi getting around because downtown Montreal is compact. It is accessible to everything. The Montreal's metro is so easy to learn but not 24 hours service, unlike NYC's subway; complicated and 24/7.

  • Tip Rating:
  • It was much cheaper to fly in and out of Montreal's airport then Quebec City's airport.
    When you are in downtown Montreal you can walk around very easily. We parked the rental car at the hotel and didn't touch it until it was time to go. There are several things to see and do outside the downtown Montreal area that you will need a car for though.
