Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Montreal is served by Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL), about 20 kilometres from downtown, connected to the city centre by taxi, shuttle bus and the 747 bus route. Via Rail and Amtrak trains arrive at Gare Centrale, and intercity buses stop at the Gare d'autocars de Montréal; Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth Gold Experience sits on Boulevard René-Lévesque West near that station. Within the city, the STM runs buses and a metro network of four lines covering most areas of interest. Bixi bike-sharing is available seasonally, taxis and ride-hailing are widely used, and walking is pleasant in many neighbourhoods, especially in Old Montreal and the Plateau.
When to go
The best time to visit Montreal is during the summer months (June to August), when the weather is warm and festivals fill the calendar. Autumn (September to October) brings cooler temperatures and colourful foliage. Winter (December to February) can be cold and snowy, but the city stays active with indoor attractions and winter sports, and the underground tunnels make it navigable in all seasons. Spring (March to May) is mild but unpredictable, so the ideal time depends on your tolerance for cold and interest in outdoor activities.
