Hello, this is your tour guide.

Bonjour! You’ve just landed at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) and are ready to discover what a fun, historical, and captivating exciting city Québec can be. So dust off that French-English translation book (or reinstall that translation app you rarely use) and stumble upon the unique ways to make your way from Québec Airport to the city centre and majestic Old Québec.

Surprisingly, Quebec City is smaller than one thinks and YQB reflects this. Therefore, the options to get from Québec Airport to downtown are limited.

Cheapest: RTC Bus 76 / 80

The most economical way to get from Québec Airport to Old Québec is by way of Le Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) buses. There are two similar options to get from YQB to downtown Quebec. One is direct (almost) while the other requires a transfer. The options:

• RTC Bus 76

It’s important to note that bus route 76 does not travel directly from Quebec Airport to the city centre or Old Quebec directly. Instead bus 76 continues towards Saint-Foy near Laval University. Take the 76 and get off near Place Ste-Foy shopping centre. Transfer to RTC Métrobus 800 / 801 to continue eastward towards Old Québec.

Both the 800 and the 801 stop at Place D’youville - one of the many entrances to fortified old Quebec.

• RTC Bus 80

While the most direct, bus route 80 doesn’t quite stop to the heart or downtown Quebec or Old Quebec. Instead the bus terminates in the beautiful historic neighbourhood of Saint-Roch - trendy gentrifying neighbourhood with lovely cafés and shops. A short walk 15 minute to Old Quebec and downtown. While not as well known, Saint-Roch has some beautiful, historical streets that feel like you’re back in Europe. If you’re up for a walk take RTC bus 80 towards centre-ville Québec.

For more information about RTC buses from Quebec Airport to old town visit their tourist page.

Fare is $3.75 for either bus route.
