Many visitors require an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) or a tourist visa. Check requirements before booking.

By Metro

The metro is by far the most convenient way of getting to the circuit and is the
choice of the vast majority of race fans. The Montreal Subway System (STM) services the Jean-Drapeau station on the yellow line, located close to the circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

It should take between 10 and 40 minutes to get to depending on where you’re staying in the city. Leave in good time and be aware there will be a 10-25 minute walk from the circuit depending on where you are seated at the track.

By River Shuttle

If you want a more relaxed and altogether more original way of getting to the circuit you may consider the Navettes Maritimes river shuttle. It’s a bit pricier than the metro but still affordable, with children under 6 going free.

By Taxi

Taxis are available, but on race weekend, you could reasonably expect the heavy traffic to double the expected journey time. f you plan to take a taxi to and from the circuit it is strongly advised to arrange the return journey in advance.

The “Wall of Champions” is a notoriously difficult wall just after Turn 14. Many top drivers such as Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, and more have struck it in past events.
