Quebec City's
airport
, 20km west of the city, caters almost exclusively for domestic flights, primarily those of Air Canada and its regional carriers: most international flights arrive at Montreal. A shuttle connects the airport with several downtown hotels (8.45am-10.20pm; 7-8 daily; $9 to Vieux-Quebec). The twenty-minute trip by taxi is a fixed rate of $24.50.
Trains
from Montreal arrive at the central Gare du Palais in Basse-Ville, whereas services from the Atlantic provinces arrive at Charny, across the St Lawrence, from Ste-Foy, in the very early morning; a shuttle is available to Gare du Palais but reservations must be made in advance. The long-distance
bus terminal
is at 320 Abraham-Martin, adjoining the Gare du Palais
.
Parking
downtown can be a real pain: it's best to leave your vehicle outside the centre, off Grande-Allee or in the Vieux-Port area
. Other useful information
