Getting to Lower Town

From Old Quebec City, take the funicular car (below the Hotel Chateau Frontenac) for great views of Basse-Ville (Lower Town) and the St. Lawrence River. To the left, you will see the Laurentides Mountains in the background.

The fit and able-bodied may want to take the aptly-named "Breakneck Stairs" which have been here since 1608 when Quebec City was founded. Either way, you will arrive at the intersection of Petit-Champlain and Sous-le-Fort streets.
