Air Canada offers frequent flights from a number of American cities, and the prices aren't too high if you book in advance. If you can drive there, even better, as there is a lot to see outside of Quebec and car rentals aren't cheap.
If you're staying in the Old City, just walk. Although it is pretty easy to get a cab within the city walls. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The best way to travel to Quebec is to fly. I flew into Quebec and then took a bus to my hotel. You can also rent a car or take a taxi.
Walking is a great way to see everything in Old Quebec but to get to see everything you may have to rent a car, or take taxis. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

A taxi to your hotel in Quebec has a standard fare from Jean Lesage International Airport.
As of late 2006, it cost CAD $30.00 (I think... cannot remember exactly but it's a set fare)... I suppose a tip is necessary also. As the temperature was about -3 degrees celcius when I had arrived, I chose to get a taxi and just get to my hotel to warm up. The driver was very nice, talked about the city and informed me where certain things are located, etc. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Quebec City's Jean Lesage
International Airport by Jefie
The Jean Lesage International Airport is located about 25 min away by car from the Vieux Quebec area. There's a fix rate for people traveling from the airport to downtown Quebec City by taxi - last time I checked it was $32.50. It's also possible to rent a car (Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, National/Alamo) at the airport. Leave a Comment

 The Famous Funiculaire by jamiesno
For me the Funiculaire was a great tool to get from point A, to Point B. Old Quebec is build on cliff sides and it was done this way for militaristic reasons back during its origins. So it makes for some very steps walks up and down.
You can get the idea in this picture I created. One side shows all the steps to get down versus the quick ride back up on the Funicularie for $1.5 CDN, you can't beat it :-)
I do highly recommend though that you do walk down to the Quarter Petit Champlain district at least once because there is a lot to see along the way, it is a beautiful walk. I did do this but later when I wanted to return for specific shops or tasks it was much more efficient to just hope on the Funiculaire!
On April 1879, work began under the direction of the owner, William Griffith. On November 17, regular operation commenced. At that time, a tourist guide compiled by the abbey Louis Beaudet said : "A Funicular transports you from Sous le Fort Street under Dufferin Terrace to the extremity of Ste-Anne Street. It is the attraction of our City".
In 1907 took place a complete reorganization of the Company and the Funicular.
The new Company bought the Louis-Jolliet House and the land annexed (where a monument is erected now). This house was built in 1683 by architect Baillif for Louis-Jolliet, discoverer of the Mississipi, who occupied it until his death in 1700. Louis-Jolliet was the first Quebec-born Canadian to make history. The Company changed also the steam system for an electrical one and covered the Funicular.
In 1997, the Funicular was rebuilt. This is the only Funicular of this type in Canada. Leave a Comment
