About this place
Laval occupies Île Jésus, just northwest of Montreal, and functions largely as a spacious, car-friendly suburb. It was formed from 14 smaller municipalities and today is home to a growing population of over 400,000. Most visitors use Laval as an affordable base for exploring Montreal, taking advantage of lower hotel rates and direct metro links into the city.
While the city is primarily residential and commercial, it offers a surprisingly diverse food scene, particularly for Greek cuisine, and pockets of local history in areas like the former village of Sainte-Rose. With easy highway access and a reliable public transit connection, Laval suits travelers who prioritize value and space over a downtown location.

Planning Tips
- Consider renting a car — while the metro connects to Montreal, a car is very useful for getting around Laval itself and exploring beyond the transit lines.
- Park early at metro stations — commuter parking at Cartier, de la Concorde, and Montmorency stations fills up quickly on weekday mornings.
- Budget for the toll bridge — entering eastern Laval from Montreal via Autoroute 25 requires paying a toll.
