Montreal staying in montreal, onre night.
Posted: Sun June 7, 2009 12:55 AM UTC
Hi I'm from Colombia and spending a month in Toronto. I, with some friends would like to go to Montreal, visit the Cirque Du Soleil (big time fans), and stay a night in the city. However we are expected to spend little money in that trip, so I would like to know if you could tell me where to find a cheap place to stay near "Under the Grand Chapiteau, Quays of the Old Port of Montreal".

As a side point, I have everything planned on maps, however my friends doesn't believe me when i say that trains from Toronto can get to the central station in Montréal, am I wrong?

Montreal Montreal For a Few Days
Posted: Fri June 5, 2009 04:45 PM UTC
Thinking of travelling from NYC area to Montreal for husband's 50th over summer. Will be me, 13 year old daughter, and hubby. Without spending a lot of money what is the best way to get there and best place to stay? Flying seems to be very pricey and the train reviews are awful. Anyone ever take a bus? Any recommendations would be great thanks!

we are going to new england for about 10 days and have decided to spend 2 evenings in montreal. we enjoy wandering old neighborhoods and eating in inexpensive restaurants that cater to locals. we tend to avoid the tourist experiences and look more for a "living there flavor".

Montreal 2-3 days tour in Montreal and Quebec City?
Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 08:27 AM UTC
Hi all,

My partner and I are going to visit my family in Toronto in September.
I've been to Canada several times and it's his first time, so we wanted to visit Montreal and Quebec city, too.

Are there any guided tours to Quebec, about 3 nights, departuring from Toronto?
Can you recommend something?
We want to visit Montreal and Quebec City, so anything that covers both cities would be okay.

Thanks you all in advance! :-)

Montreal Montreal Hotel recommendation for first time visitors????
Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 11:41 PM UTC
My wife and I will be going to Montreal later this year and I was wondering if I might get some recommendations as to where we might consider staying?

Price wouldn't be too much an issue so what area and what hotel might be a good solid choice for us to consider? We would like to have an area that would be provide a good point to have access to do all the touristy kinds of things, etc.

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated and I thank you in advance for anyone who responds.

Montreal Hotels near bike paths
Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 04:13 PM UTC
Hi - I will be visiting Montreal with a friend for a few days in July and would like to stay in a moderately-priced but nice hotel adjacent to a good bike path. Can anyone recommend a neighborhood or a specific hotel where it would be good for a first-time visitor to stay? We are just casual bike-riders so we want to go on flat bike paths. Thank you!

Quebec Upper vs. Lower Town in Quebec City AND stopover from Boston to Quebec City?
Posted: Wed May 6, 2009 07:48 PM UTC
Hello, I will be traveling with my husband and two brothers (both 20) from May 22-25. I have done some research on hotels, but I still don't know which area is best to stay in QC, is it lower town or upper town. I know the Chateau Frontenac is in the upper town, so I have a feeling this is the area in which to stay, but I don't really know. Can you help me out? We are considering the Hotel Clarendon. What do people think about this hotel?

Also, we will be driving up from Boston and would like to stay about 1/2 way overnight. Any suggestions of an inexpensive, clean place to crash for the night?

Thanks.

Montreal Candlewood Suites
Posted: Tue April 21, 2009 06:49 PM UTC
We will be visiting Montreal in August and staying at the Candlewood Suite Montreal Downtown Hotel. The hotel informs me that the nearest metro is Saint Laurent and perhaps Champs de Mar. However, on looking up directions on Google, it says to be careful as it the path is lacking pedestrian walkways etc. How far is the closest metro in terms of walking minutes? Thanks.

Magog Is The Beach Busy?
Posted: Sun April 19, 2009 10:04 PM UTC
Is the beach busy because people that i am going with don't really like crowds? I am going with a six year old and two nine year olds. Would they most likely like it there? Is it kid friendly?

Thanks in advance.

Montreal Taxi from Cote-St-Luc to Dorval Airport
Posted: Sun April 19, 2009 09:39 AM UTC
How much would you estimate a taxi would cost from the Cavendish Mall area of Cote-St-Luc to Dorval Airport? I imagine it would involve going around through Van Horne/Fleet and the Decarie circle, as there seems to be no direct route over the train tracks. Thanks.

Montreal Montreal--good for shopping?
Posted: Tue April 14, 2009 12:44 PM UTC
Hi,

We are planning a trip to Montreal, and we are concerned about the size of old town. Will there be enough to do over a 3 or 4 day trip? We went to Quebec City last year and we were shocked at how small the old city was. We were bored after 2 days! I realize that Montreal is a large city but we are not into partying and don't care about the bar's, etc. We are more interested in shops and cafes. Any advice? Will it be just like Quebec City? Should we pick somewhere else???

Quebec B&B's or Boutique hotel recommendation
Posted: Tue March 31, 2009 06:08 PM UTC
I'll be in Quebec city in mid April and wanted to know which area I should be looking at to stay in. I have no concept of how big the city is.

I've seen a few hotels near/in the walled city. Is this a good spot?

I'm looking for a nice area with good restaurants, boutiques, museums, etc and I'd prefer to walk.

Thanks!

Quebec Chateau Frontenac Etiquette
Posted: Fri March 27, 2009 04:33 AM UTC
What is the lay of the land like in this hotel? Rather posh, can it be a bit "stuffy" if you know what I mean? A laid back Cali, it would be nice to know of any potential land mines prior to a week long stay.

In other words, I'm more of a fine pint beer kind of guy talking about the long lost Québec Nordiques opposed to a politically correct three-pieced suit intellectual conversationalist.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Does anyone know a place where I could stay for less than a hotel and have some privacy?
Thank you in advance for your answers!

Quebec December Weather In QC
Posted: Tue March 17, 2009 01:45 AM UTC
Weather.com lists QC averages with a high of 23F/-5C and low of 8F/-13C.

Besides five layers of clothes and antifreeze (aka pints), does anyone have any advice to battle the Canadian freeze?

BTW, I'm targeting this time frame because I love how they dress the city up in Christmas Spirit amidst all the snow.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Quebec Easter Break
Posted: Sun March 15, 2009 04:05 AM UTC
Hi,

I will be visiting my sister in Easter from Sydney and be staying there for about week. She will have school after Easter Monday, so time with her will be very tight.

I'm a bit concern of the lack of activities to do together since most businesses will be closed in Easter. Does that also include the major tourist attractions?

Any info and suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks.

Montreal Going to Montreal from Europe ( airlines / accomodation / etc)
Posted: Fri February 27, 2009 08:00 AM UTC
Does anyone know an airline in Europe that goes to Montreal for an okay price?
The only ones I have found so far are extremly expensive.

Can anyone recommend a clean budget hotel? Or warn me from one that they found completely useless?

I would also like to go to NYC for a few days. What is the cheapest way to get there from Montreal? Bus? Train?

Cheers!

Montreal Montreal during Winter - Late March
Posted: Fri February 13, 2009 06:37 PM UTC
Hi everyone,

My boyfriend booked us a trip to Montreal for the weekend in late March. I was wondering if there are any specific late March/Winter things to do in the city. Some of what I've read is really geared towards summertime (ex: Botanical Gardens) so any great sites to see even in winter and indoors would be greatly appreciated. It is our first time to Montreal and I'm semi-fluent in French my boyfriend is at beginner level.

Thanks friends!

Montreal RE: Visit to Montreal & Ottawa
Posted: Thu January 8, 2009 03:17 AM UTC
I will be visiting Montreal & Ottawa in July (1st week). I will be flying to Montreal airport and flying out of Ottawa.

Hence I need transportation - going from Montreal to Ottawa (I suppose driving i am not sure)

My question --

Should I rent a car for the whole week? I checked on Orbitz and car will cost me 600USD for a week?

Or should I just use CAB (Montreal airport - Montreal Downtown)
and then Rent 1 time car (1 day) to travel (Montreal - Ottawa)
and then use a CAB (Ottawa Downtown - Ottawa Airport)

reason why I am asking this is I was wondering If I want to see both cities do I need a car? or their is ample public transportation? I was thinking of saving few buck by not renting a car for the whole week. I read few post that Parking is not free in either cities and I will be spending roughly 10 USD a day for parking.

Please guide..

Thanks
