Directions to Gingerbread Manor in Montreal
Directions to Gingerbread Manor, 3445 avenue Laval in the Plateau Mont-Royal, from the airports, the stations, the cruise port, and the highways:

- Taxi – Fares between the airport and the downtown zone are fixed, with a higher rate overnight, plus tip of course. Click here for current fares.
- Ridesharing (Uber and Lyft) – Both pick up at the airport, but not at the main taxi curb. For UberX, go to Door 28 on the arrivals level, request the ride in the app, and join the pickup line; the app gives you a PIN to show your driver. For other Uber categories and for Lyft, follow the signs to the P4 Express Drop-Off area by the P4 parking garage. There is no fixed fare; the app sets the price and it moves with demand. Give the driver our address, 3445 avenue Laval.
