HOW TO REACH QUEBEC CITY

  • Flight - All main cities in Canada, the United States, and throughout Europe are easily accessible from the 10-kilometer-distance Jean-Lesage International Airport. Air Canada, Air Inuit, Pascan, American Airlines, and Westjet are a few significant airlines operating in Quebec.
  • Rail - Prominent Canadian cities like Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, and Quebec can be reached by train thanks to train Canada. Gare du Palais and Gare de Saint-Foy are the two terminals in Quebec.
  • Road - Autoroute 20, or Highway 20 Almost all Canadian cities can reach Quebec via Jean Lesage, and Highway 40 connects the city to the north. Bus transportation to and from major Canadian cities is accessible from Intercar, Orleans Express, and Greyhound.

HOW TO GET AROUND

  • Bus - The RTC (or Réseau de Transport de la Capitale) Métrobus in Québec City will come to your rescue if you weary of walking or are bone-chilling from the cold. Six bus lines provide transportation throughout Old Québec and halt close to many of the area's most well-known sights, including the Citadel and the Museum of Civilization.
  • Taxi - There are lots of taxis in Quebec City. Although you can call for a cab on the street, you might have more success if you go to a designated cab stand, which you can find close to all the main attractions.
  • Rental - You have the option of renting a car in the city or at the airport, but we highly advise against it. Additionally, it can be difficult to find a free space due to the Old Québec neighborhood's congested streets. (even in the evenings and on weekends). Additionally, Canadian gas prices are very similar to American ones, with the exception that you will be paid by the liter rather than the gallon, which drives up the price. A car would only be useful if you were going on a day trip outside of the metropolis.
  • On Foot - You won't need anything more than your own two feet to make the most of your trip because many of Québec City's top sites are contained within the historic walls of Old Québec. Just make sure you're wearing warm clothing, particularly in the winter, and that you stop often: The city's many quaint stores and cozy cafes are great places to defrost.
