An international destination of choice, Montreal is easily accessed by land, water and air. Downtown is a mere 20 minutes from the airport, which handles some 200 flights daily.

Montreal is also multicultural, boasting more than 80 ethnic communities, and enjoys an outstanding reputation worldwide for gourmet dining.
Public transit is not only affordable, it's also a great way to get around the city.
