Montreal vacations are distinct. Summer is usually quite hot and sunny; it can sometimes be unbearably humid. Fall is a little cooler but still very pleasant and has the added bonus of the beautiful autumn leaves, which are numerous in a city full of maple trees. Winters are cold and snowy, but Montreal is well prepared for this, there is a vast underground city of shopping malls linked to hotels, office buildings, Montreal vacation rentals and metro (Montreal's subway) stations. If you wanted to, you need never go outdoors. Spring revitalizes the city; the days are long and fairly warm so this is an ideal time to visit.

Montreal is a major transportation centre. Highways and railways converge here, so there are connections by bus and rail to all over Canada and the U.S.A. Montreal is a relatively short drive from many of the major population centers of the Eastern Seaboard, and Ontario. Montreal has one international airport with direct flights to all major Canadian and most U.S. cities. There are also flights to many cities in Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico. The primary airport, Trudeau International (YUL), serves all scheduled and charter flights, while a second airport, Mirabel (YMX), is used for cargo flights.
