BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Montreal is a very well-connected and modern city, with efficient infrastructure, making it an ideal location to host an F1 Grand Prix. A taxi from the airport costs a maximum of $41, and the 747 bus runs 24 hours a day. Once in the city, a slick metro system will make getting to and from the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve simple.  

Metro

Jean Drapeau is the closest metro stop to the circuit and sits on the yellow line of the Montreal Metro. From there, it takes around 15-30 minutes to reach the track, depending one where you're sitting.

A single journey costs around $3.50 but we recommend buying a day or weekend pass. More informations on the Montreal Metro fares is available here.

Taxi

Uber is wildly used in Canada, and Montreal is no exception. Alternatively, taxis can be hailed on the street - remember to tip!
