Dec2024 Taking the short funicular that connects the Upper and Lower levels of the Old Town in Quebec is one of the must experiences when visiting. It gives you an unimpeded view of the Lower section despite the short trip. There is a small gift shop at the upper station connecting to the Dufferin Terrace.

It linked the Dufferin Terrace and the Petit-Champlain Quarter, which make it walkable and Offers a panoramic view of the St. Lawrence River and Lower Town.

The Old Quebec Funicular is a must-do for any visitor to Quebec City. This historic funicular railway connects the Upper Town (Haute-Ville) to the Lower Town (Basse-Ville) in just a few minutes, making it a great way to see the city without walking up the steep hill. See the St. Lawrence River and Lower Town from an interesting vantage point as you travel up or down the cliff face at a 45-degree angle. The main entrance of the funicular is in Louis Jolliet House, located at 16 rue Petit-Champlain. The funicular was built in 1879 and was originally powered by water. It was converted to electricity in 1907. The funicular has two cars, each of which can carry up to 60 people. The cars travel at a speed of 2.5 meters per second, and the ride takes about 30 seconds. What you can do - if you do not want to climb 'just 59 steps', use this [ Fee is Cash only 5 dollars, doesn't matter UDS or CAD- it is 5 dollars] and enjoy the view from Dufferin Terrace The funicular is a great way to get a bird’s-eye view of Quebec City and its rich history. It is the oldest funicular in North America that is still in operation. The funicularbird' s-eye has been featured in several movies and television shows, including “The Day After Tomorrow” and “The Umbrella Academy.”

It was our first afternoon in Quebec City. While not planned we ended up walking down the stairs to lower old Quebec. After dinner we preferred not to walk up the many steps and we’re glad to see the funicular was close by. No lines and easy ride with great views of the St. Lawrence River. It was worth not having to climb all the steps and enjoy the view.

Make sure you find the funiculaire in downtown Quebec to get to the hotel fairmont de chateau frontenac . Fantastic views of the St Lawrence from the top. Only 5$.

a simple funicular. It’s $5 for a one-way trip. you don't need to wait in line and it only takes 30 seconds. If you're not elderly, I highly recommend walking instead. Of course, the view of the St. Lawrence river from the hill was stunning and fantastic.

We have my wife's mother with us this trip and have used this several times to save her from having to walk up a steep sloped hill or stairs. As others have stated, it is cash only, and the attendant can be a little rude, but it is what it is...it is a quick way to get to the upper portion of the city. Never had to wait the 3 times we used it.
