Travel in Montreal
The local transportation service STM Express offers bus service to/from the Trudeau International Airport (there are two airports in Montreal – this schedule is for the main one, Trudeau, only) and several stops downtown.
The Rene-Levesque stop is directly across the street from the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. You may request current schedules from STM or from the hotel concierge. Every hotel has printed schedules.
Fare is $8 Canadian each way and COINS only – no bills. You can buy daily passes at the airport or on the bus, again coins only. There is no “super shuttle” or other mass-transit system like you may be used to for airport transfers. Transportation is by bus, private car or taxi only.
The Montreal Tourisme Bureau created this calendar of events for us – filled with events taking place in Montreal during the convention week: download events calendar (PDF)
Events include art exhibitions, live music events, dining and culinary experiences focusing on traditional foods and original stage productions by local playwrights. For additional local resources, please see the following helpful links:
