Travel Information

From your city to Montréal

Montréal is easily accessible from across the globe. The city is served by Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL), one of Canada’s major international hubs. YUL offers numerous direct flights connecting Montréal to major cities in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. This extensive network of nonstop routes makes travel efficient and convenient for international conference participants. With frequent daily connections operated by leading global airlines, attendees can reach Montréal with minimal transfers. Upon arrival, the airport provides modern facilities and efficient transportation links to downtown Montréal.

From the airport to Downtown and Université de Montréal

Bus: The Montréal Airport (YUL) is connected to downtown via city Bus 747. The bus stops at métro Lionel-Groulx where you can take the Green and Orange métro lines to the rest of the city (the Terrasse Royale is close to station Côte-des-neiges (Blue line) and the Marriott Montreal Midtown is close to station Namur (Orange line)). Please note that to board 747 bus, one needs a 24h pass or 3-day pass; single-passage tickets won’t work. Weekly passes would also work but become valid only from the next Monday, so the other two passes are better options if arriving during the weekend. Also note that the A-zone tickets and passes only cover the Montréal Island, and not Laval and the South Shore (Brossard, Longueuil).

Taxi: There is a flat rate from the airport to downtown, but Université de Montréal is outside that zone so the price will depend on where one goes exactly and how long it takes. It is customary to give a 15% tip to the driver if you are satisfied.
