Quote:Which reminds me -- I still don't know how I'm getting from the airport to the hotel. Google maps kept telling me the airport was located inside a building downtown(!?!?).Oh, gods, no. http://www.admtl.com/passager/Home.aspx]Montréal's airport is sufficiently far from Montréal that the Ottawa-Montréal VIA train has a stop there. (Not that you can buy a ticket for that leg of the trip, mind you - that would be too easy.) The train station is downtown; that might be what's throwing off Google Maps.
http://www.admtl.com/passager/acces_et_ ... sines.aspx]This page says you can get a taxi from the airport to downtown for $38. No guarantees you can get a taxi from downtown to the airport for the same price, mind you. There are http://www.admtl.com/passager/acces_et_ ... /home.aspx]other options to get to your hotel, as well - check to see whether your hotel has a shuttle service.
Edit: And once you're downtown, walk or take the Metro (French for "subway"). The city proper is on an island, so it's not spread out the way many other large cities are - it's easy to get around without a car.
