Getting to Montreal

Air travel to Montreal

The closest airport to Montreal is Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL). You can get to UQAM area from the airport either by taxi or bus.

• Public transit: Bus 747 YUL from the airport  to centre-ville (Berri-UQAM). The ticket is $11 and you can purchase it at the airport or at any metro station in Montreal (24hr/3 day zone A). You can also purchase it through the transit app chrono. The bus is frequent (every 10-15 minutes), safe and often faster than a taxi because it has a protected bus lane. It will take you very close to where the conference is located. We highly recommend this option!
