Hi, in March I will venturing by rail from Raleigh, NC to Montreal. This will be my first trip to Canada. Is there a curency exchange inside of Central Station? If not, where is the closest one? I hope their open considering the adirondak isnt due in untill 6 PM IF on time. Thanks.
There used to be a currency exchange booth near the baggage claim in Central Station. I'm not sure if it's still there or not. It's been many years since I noticed it. If not, there are ATMs available in the station which you can use to obtain cash in Canadian dollars from your US bank account.
Most businesses in Montreal will accept American money, but the exchange rate will vary. Also, many hotels in Montreal offer currency exchange to their guests.
