Transportation from Montreal to Quebec City?
We are flying in and our of Montreal, but plan to spend a few days in Quebec City in July. What is the most practical and econimical way to make the round-trip commute? Via train, bus or should we rent a car and deal with the hassles of parking? <BR>THANK YOU !!

When I visited there not too long ago I traveled by train from Montreal to Quebec city. I believe that the train station is right downtown. The ticket was very affordable. Once I arrived, I took a quick cab ride to get inside the walls. I stayed at the Chateau Frontenac which I highly recommend! By the way, dont forget to take the funiculaire (sp?) down the hill for good views and shopping

I second Karen's suggestion to take the train. ViaRail puts Amtrak to shame (in my opinion) - trains run 'on time', are very clean and comfortable. We took ViaRail round-trip last summer - Montreal/Quebec City. As our flights are in/out of Montreal, we will take train again this summer, too.

There is a high-speed boat called a hydrofoil that takes you from Montreal to Quebec and vice-versa. The Company is called Les Dauphins du St. Laurent. There website is www.dauphins.ca
