- Orleans Express Coach Lines offers hourly service to Québec City from downtown Montreal every day with some departures originating from the Montreal International Airport. This bus company is nothing like Greyhound or any tour bus company you may have experienced in your travels: its fleet of coaches, 2 ½ years old on average, offers comfortable roomy seating with personal airline-like tables and electric connections at every seats for personal computers, etc. The trip takes 3h15 min. from downtown Montreal ("Station Centrale" bus terminal) to downtown Québec City ("Gare du Palais" bus terminal). Its drivers are vey professional. In Québec City, you arrive at a state-of-the-art bus terminal located only a short uphill walk from the historic old town ('' Gare du Palais ', 418-525-3000). When you board the bus in Montreal, the driver will ask you if you're heading for Ste Foy or "centre-ville" (downtown, Old Town) so your luggage will be stored accordingly under the bus: if you're going to the Old Town, make sure you get off at the second stop ("Gare du Palais"), otherwise you will need to take a long and costly cab ride to reach the Old Town.
You may also take the train, if you'd like more personal space than a coach. The connections between Montreal and Quebec are much less frequent, compared to the bus. You may check timetable and fares at Via Rail's bilingual website; should you need to call them for infos, details here . Note that if you buy your tickets at least 5 days in advance (the sooner the better), you may get a sensible discount, if there are so-called SuperSaver discount seats left (economy seats in limited number). There are two train stations in Québec City: when arriving from Montreal, the train first stops at 'Sainte-Foy' , and after at 'Gare du Palais' . If you are going to a hotel near the bridges over the St-Laurent River, or near the big shopping centres on Boulevard Laurier, you stop in Ste-Foy. It is a very very small train station, in the middle of nowhere, and you must take a taxi from there. For ALL other destinations in town, you must stop at the 'Gare du Palais' train station. From there, you may walk uphill to either of the two youth hostels in the Old (Upper) Town (this will take you 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your load and fitness!), would it be the International one, or the independent Auberge de la Paix (taxi CAN$5 max) or hotels on Carré d'Youville, Grande-Allée, and so on — all within a short
