Montréal is the second biggest city of Canada and the biggest city of the province Québec. Just like a classic European city, Montréal was founded in an area where two rivers combine, and it is also an island city. Therefore, it is an important port city. The city located on the Island of Montréal connects to the main land through bridges.

Because French is spoken in Montréal differently from many cities of Canada and it has a population of close to four million today, Montréal is also known as small Paris. The city hosts many cultural and art festivals and shows which are famous worldwide.

Architectural examples from past and today are together in the city and there are a lot of art galleries. You can go to almost any corner of the city with its quite developed and modern metro network. Metros are available with approximately 70 stations on 4 lines in total consisting of green, yellow, orange and blue lines. There are very clear information signs in all the stations regarding lines, stops and transfer points.

Because the city is covered in snow for a long time in winter, the metro network isn’t only used as a mean of transportation, but it also looks like an underground city. You can find shopping centers, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, banks and more under the ground. Some hotels have even doors opening to this underground city. There is also a bus system in connection with metros in the city.

You can switch from one mean of transportation to another easily according to where you will go. “Maximum 10 minutes” system is applied for buses between 06:00 and 21:00; this means you won’t wait for a bus for more than 10 minutes.

There is also a train network in the city and you can travel both inside the city or outside the island by these trains. One type of ticket is used in all the vehicles of public transportation. You can buy your ticket from the machines at the metro stations, main bus-stops, the airport and the Hilton Hotel in the city center.  You can buy one-way ticket, but there are also 1-day, 3-day, weekly and monthly tickets. Daily ticket costs 10 dollars. Although winter months are very cold and snowy, there is a cycling path in Montréal which is about 400 km long and people cycle at every chance. If weather conditions are convenient during your stay, you can rent a bicycle and see the whole city without the fear of safety.

You can consider renting a car according to the season in the city. Generally, you don’t need to do it due to the successful metro system. On the other hand, driving a car can be problematic in winter and roads are often ruined because of the weather conditions. The biggest ease in renting a car is the absence of the parking problem and opportunity of parking your car for free around the city.
