Montreal Travel Forum

I'll be staying in Montreal in a few weeks and I'd like to take the time to visit Toronto as well; can someone tell me the train fare from Montreal to Toronto? And the duration of the journey? If I want to take the time to explore and visit Toronto reasonably, how much time do I need?

Thanks for the replies,

Gautier

Me and some friends are flying through Montreal at the beginning of May. We're a group of about 17 people and we'll be arriving at 7 pm and departing again at 6:45 am. And well, we want something to do besides sleeping in the airport! We're a bunch of University students, so we're pretty much up for anything. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

We're a Spanish couple that is going to be in Montreal from the 25 to the 29 of May and one of the things that we want to do is going one day to The Laurentians. I was checking and there's a lot of places to visit, the problem is that we have not so much time, so we have to choose and we have no idea about what can be the best places to visit. So any advise about this matter will be very helpful for us.

It will be also great to have some information about how to arrive there, it's better to rent a car? Or we can go by train or by bus?

Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone! I´m travelling with a friend to Montreal from January 20 to January 30. Never been there and not really used to such low temperatures!
Kindly advice us on what to do, visit, etc., during our stay!

hi there
i want to plan a study trip to quebec to study french for 4 weeks. i'd prefer to study at a school outside montreal but with easy access to the city (considering that the suburbs are cheaper).

if there's a nice school in montreal itself, can anyone recommend me with good schools, affordable accommodation and best way to get around? places to visit?

i've done some search and found that the average cost in montreal is CAD$2000 for 4 weeks inc. of study and accommodation.

any suggestion?

thanks, a:^)

Any suggestions on accommodation in Montreal. I'd like to be near shopping, attractions and a short walk to the Old city. Four star or lower.

Thanks very much.

I am flying to Dorval (YUL) next week. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the most convenient and cheapest way to get to downtown Montreal. I am bringing a mid-sized luggage, a backpack and my laptop. Please let me know. I would really appreciate it.Thanks.

Hi there.

A buddy of mine took a photo in Montreal - and told me I gotta check it out when I visit Montreal next year. It's a writing on a wall somewhere that says: Entrez, Jouez / Enter, Play

Looks like this:

Do you know where this is?

A few friends of mine will be traveling with me to Montreal for New Years Eve. We will be staying downtown and would love some advice on what a fun place would be to go.

I've been checking out some sites that offer tickets to huge multi level clubs...any opinions on these?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

My husband and I are going to Montreal for the week between Christmas and New Year's. We've been several times and enjoy the city very much, but this time he's decided he wants to do "non-touristy" things. So what do you Montrealers do in your free time? I know this is a purely subjective question but any thing off the beaten path would be great. Je parle francais...c'est pas bien, parce-que je n'ai jamais l'opportunite de pratiquer. We're staying at the new Embassy Suites on rue Sainte-Antoine Ouest because we have free Hilton points to burn. We plan to do some shopping and visit Mont-Royal, but we've been to many of the museums, Olympic Stadium et al, Old Montreal, etc. Thanks!

Has anyone ever been part of these festivities? Just wondering if it's really scary or is more for children and families? My boyfriend and I are going to Montreal that weekend and are wondering if we should purchase tickets before hand or not...thnx!

yes, i wil be visiting montreal alone between 12-15oct. staying at a b&b. I would like to meet someone to have fun together. I am a 27 y o guy, kind, intellectual, honest, calm, fun...

I will be in Montreal in October for 2-3 weeks and would like to have a local mobile phone while there. Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible/practical to rent/buy a cheap phone in Montreal which can be used in the Ottawa, Quebec City and Upper NY state areas as well.

I thank you all very much.

Just wondering, normally would everywhere still be covered in snow up to late march? Thanks.

Next month I'm going to Montreal with my sister for her 25th b day for 2nts and was wondering if anyone could help me out by suggesting their favorite restaurants and clubs or lounges.

Thanks so much!

Hi there,

Thinking of traveling to Montreal for the holiday and staying at the W? I was inquiring regarding the location or any great restaurants. Is a car rental necessary?

Thanks.

Hey all, well I'm off to Montreal for a few days and looking for cheap private room accomodations ($50/night). Any recommendations for a conveniently located safe accomodation in that price rage.

I have no definitive plans for Monday night, July 30th, if anyone would like to meet up. On my last trip to Montreal, I had the pleasure of meeting 3 of the local VT members. I would love to meet more this time around, if possible!

What is the approximate cab fare from Trudeau to the Plateau area?

Also, where is the L'Aerobus located at Trudeau?
