The Perfect Hotel for Exploring Historic Montreal

Montreal by Foot

From the Old Port of Montreal to Chinatown, from Little Italy to Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montrealers walk in the city at any time of the day and night. Going from one place to another is easy and enjoyable: from the city center, for example, you can have access to the Underground City, where more than 500 000 people flock every day.

Montreal by Public Transport

Public transport is a great way to explore the city. Just “hop in the subway” and within 10 minutes you are at the museum, the restaurant or in Old Montreal. The Ritz-Carlton Montreal is just a 5-minute walk from Peel Metro, on the Green Line.

Metros are very present in Montreal: two of the four main lines connect the downtown and the main tourist sites, as well as many bus stops and railway stations. Metros run every eight minutes on non-peak hours and every three minutes on peak hours.

Montreal by Bike

Montrealers love biking. Green city, geo-tourist and the world's first city recognized by the National Geographic Society, Montreal has 350 kilometers of bicycle paths. Several trails are set up in the tourist districts allowing you to explore the city easily.
