Quebec City's Walls and River

Chouinard Wharf Cruise
Croisières AML's Guided Sightseeing River Cruise leaves from Chouinard Wharf in Old Québec and takes about 90 minutes. The boat follows the St. Lawrence past the Old Port toward Île d'Orléans and Montmorency Falls, showing the waterfront from the river rather than the streets. Sailings typically run from May through October; this is a sightseeing cruise, not the year-round Québec-Lévis public ferry.
Assemblée nationale
The Assemblée nationale du Québec offers a free, 60-minute guided visit in English or French. Reserve online or on site, and bring photo ID if you are 16 or older. The Musée naval de Québec is free year-round, while MUMAQ admits visitors free on the first Sunday of each month. Meet at the National Assembly reception pavilion's agora 30 minutes before your tour.
Bonjour in Québec
Start a shop or service interaction with 'Bonjour,' then ask 'Parlez-vous anglais?' if you prefer English. Close with 'Merci.' English is widely spoken in Old Québec and Petit-Champlain, but French is Québec City's everyday language and is more likely to be the default outside the visitor core. These phrases let you acknowledge the local language without needing to hold a conversation in French.
RTC Nomade and Ferry
Use RTC Nomade paiement for bus fares, activate each ticket online before boarding, and show the animated pass to the driver. Visa and Mastercard work in the app, but contactless bank cards are not accepted on RTC buses. Route 76 connects YQB to Sainte-Foy and frequent 800 and 801 buses, while route 80 goes downtown via Les Saules terminus. RTC monthly-pass holders ride free on the year-round Québec-Lévis ferry, a 12-minute crossing.

LOWEST RATES
- January
- November
January and November are usually cheapest: post-holiday demand fades, and cold or changeable weather limits leisure trips. Expect roughly $150-$230 per night before taxes on average.
SHOULDER SEASON
- May
- October
May and October bring mild days, cool nights and fewer visitors than summer, though October foliage weekends can fill rooms. Typical rates run $190-$300 per night, above winter lows.
PEAK PERIODS
- Québec Winter Carnival
- Festival d'été de Québec
- Christmas-New Year
Québec Winter Carnival in February, Festival d'été de Québec in July, and Christmas-New Year draw heavy demand. Expect sharp room-price spikes; book early and avoid event weekends on a tight budget.
