Conseils sur la ville
Déplacements
Take the subway or walk!
Metro Préfontaine is only 5min away on foot! The metro system is very easy to understand. Montrealers love to walk! We usually walk into the city center which takes about 30min. Walking to the Plateau or to St. Laurent is about 40min. It’s a nice way to get exercise, enjoy the weather, and enjoy the culture! If you’re not up for walking, car services will get you where you want in under 20min.
