[Back to the guide]() Your trip planner ### Plan your budget & race weekend. Choose your travel dates, grandstand preference and budget to plan your Montreal race weekend. Where to Stay for Montreal F1 ### Why the Longueuil South Shore hack saves you hundreds without sacrificing convenience. Downtown Montreal (around Sainte-Catherine, Crescent Street, and Quartier des Spectacles) puts you at the epicenter of Grand Prix street festivals and nightlife, with easy access to the Green Line Metro connecting to Berri-UQAM. Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal) offers boutique European elegance along cobblestone lanes and direct walking access to the Old Port river ferries. However, with downtown room rates surging past $800/night, smart travelers use the "Longueuil Hack": stay in Longueuil across the river on the South Shore, which sits just ONE stop away from the circuit on the Yellow Line Metro at a fraction of the cost. Plateau Mont-Royal and Mile End provide relaxed residential charm, craft brewpubs, and world-class bistros. ### Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve Map layers **Drawing route** The itinerary still works without the map. **Sector 1** ≈ 1.165 km **Sector 2** ≈ 1.498 km **Sector 3** ≈ 1.698 km Places to consider ### Find your hotel. Downtown hotels enforce strict 3- or 4-night minimum stays during Grand Prix week. Book accommodations along the Metro Green, Orange, or Yellow lines to ensure smooth transfers. Choose your budget Choose a travel style to narrow the collection. Free and essential options can suit every tier. No hotels match these filters.
