A passenger train station is found at the port of Quebec, 450 rue de la Gare du Palais. The Quebec VIA Rail (http://www.viarail.ca/) station is a picturesque building, emulating the architectural style of the famed Chateau-Frontenac overlooking the station. The Quebec-Windsor corridor trains run regularly, with stopovers at Montreal and Toronto.

Another train station is in Sainte-Foy, 3255 chemin de la Gare, near the Quebec and Pierre Laporte bridges. However, public transit does not run there as often as the Quebec station and this station requires walking for a couple of minutes.

A seasonal cruise operates during the summer months between Montreal and Quebec City. The one-way trip takes approximately 7 hours and is slow-going, but the views make it worthwhile.

Quebec City is 2.5-3 hours by car from Montreal on either Highway 40 or Highway 20 north and south side of the St. Lawrence, respectively. Both routes are rather monotonous drives through endless forests dotted with farms. For a slower but more picturesque tour of Quebec's heartland, drive along the Chemin du Roy Highway 138, which follows the north bank of the river instead.
