Québec City
Arrival
Québec City's Aéroport Jean-Lesage ( 
www.aeroportdequebec.com ), 20km west of the city, caters almost exclusively for domestic flights; most international flights arrive at Montréal. The twenty-minute trip to Vieux-Québec by taxi is a fixed rate of $24.50. VIA Rail trains from Montréal arrive at the central Gare du Palais in Basse-Ville, while services from the Atlantic provinces stop at Charny, across the St Lawrence, occasionally at inconvenient times; a shuttle is available from Charny to Gare du Palais but reservations must be made in advance. The long-distance bus terminal is at 320 rue Abraham-Martin ( 
418/525-3000), adjoining the Gare du Palais. Other options include ridesharing and the jetfoil, which docks at the Vieux-Port. Parking downtown can be a real pain: it's best to leave your vehicle outside the walls, near the tourist office off Grande-Allée or in the Vieux-Port area.
