Quebec City-Lévis Ferry

Whether you’re a foot passenger, cyclist or driver, hop on the ferry to see Quebec City from an entirely different perspective as the seasons ebb and flow. The Quebec City-Lévis ferry offers spectacular views of Old Quebec City, Cap-Diamant, the Château Frontenac and Dufferin Terrace from the water. At night, the reflections in the water’s surface of the buildings lighting up the skyline add a romantic touch to the crossing.

Taking the ferry is an affordable year-round activity that’s highly accessible, with the terminals on both sides of the river located just steps away from the historic areas of town and numerous restaurants, cultural institutions and concert halls.

During summertime, discover the marked bike paths located on both sides of the shore: Corridor du Littoral (Quebec City) and Parcours des Anses (Lévis).

In winter, the ice forming and moving on the River is truly impressive.
