How is the parking situation in Quebec city, specifically the "old town", both upper and lower? When you google parking in Quebec I get a map with many, many places - and a price - but I'm interested in knowing do places fill up early in the day?, how easy is it to drive into the city and park for several hours? Thanks

Hmmmmmmmmmph... I don't recall ANY challenges with parking at all... yet I don't recall either where I parked when up on the hill and visiting the walled city.


So I think you should go there expecting no related dramas.

Streets within the walls, and down the slopes to the harbour, are narrow, and cramped, and many of them are sloped. Finding a street parking spot requires perseverance and luck, plus steering-wheel vigor to squeeze in.

In general, as in any other city, there is a rush hour. But despite this, I as an ordinary person, I can say with confidence that in the period from 12 to 14 you can find a place to put the car for a couple of hours. As in the morning and in the evening it is already more difficult to make.

For those unaware, poor Isabel passed a month ago. There is a post here started by kja about that loss.
