To get to the Hippodrome de Montréal, an outdoor venue without any parking, public transit is a must. From Namur métro station, it is a 10-minute walk to the Hippodrome entrance. We recommend you also use De La Savane métro station. Take a few moments to plan your route now, and remember that a number of streets in the area will be closed to traffic. To get to the nearest métro station, the Town of Hampstead strongly recommends that all attendees use public transit or walk to their destination.
