Uber

Much cheaper than in CPH. 15-30$ / ride

๐Ÿš— Transportation

Metro

Not to be confused with the supermarket! Easy the navigate, be careful where you exit because you might end up on the other side of the road.. or inside a building! Montreal's underground city covers 32 km of tunnels.

Bixi

Bring your Copenhagen lifestyle to Montreal by renting Bixis all over Montreal, download the app to know where the closest station is. FYI 100$ of deposit is taken from your account, then returned when you are done all your rides. Also, "Blue bixis", the electric bixis, require a helmet & you might get a fine if they catch you without one.

Bus

I don't like the bus, don't take the bus unless you have to. Take a bixi instead.

Le Plateau Mont-Royal

Must be my favorite neighborhood in Montreal. Great bars & shops - they close the main street (Ave. Mont-Royal) in the summertime so people can walk.

St-Henri

Nice restaurant and bars, close to the Canal Lachine. More english speaking if you notice.

Mile-End

Another one of my favorite neighborhood. Bagels, restaurants and small bars.

Shop Angus

This is where I live - an old train repair site thatโ€™s been transformed into a residential area. What used to be workshops is now a Provigo (supermarket), and some great restaurants have opened nearby (Annette, Hoogan & Beaufort, Le Red Tiger, La Chope Angus). Iโ€™d recommend them all.

Old Port

To tourists, this area is very "european". If the weather is nice I recommend exploring this area. Because of the F1 weekend coming on May 22-24, people might be showing off their cars & it might have a more superficial vibe to it. Hopefully, not!
