Travel notes

What to know

Montreal is a vibrant city that usually offers a lively atmosphere for festival-goers, with a mix of historic and modern charm. In May, the weather can be mild and pleasant, with a chance of spring showers, so it's a good idea to pack layers and waterproof gear. To get to Montreal, many people fly into Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport or take the train to Central Station. Accommodation and food costs in the city can vary, but overall, Montreal tends to be relatively affordable compared to other major cities. For local transport, there are public buses and metro lines that cover most areas. When planning your trip, it's a good idea to book your accommodation and register for the festival in advance, as popular events can fill up quickly. Additionally, consider purchasing a public transport pass for convenient travel around the city.
