Québec–Lévis Ferry
Traverse Québec-Lévis
A commuter ferry crossing the St. Lawrence River in about fifteen minutes. It offers the best view back toward the Château Frontenac and the old city skyline.
The Traverse Québec-Lévis ferry departs from the dock next to Petit-Champlain in the Lower Town and crosses the St. Lawrence River to Lévis on the opposite bank. The trip takes about 12 minutes, with a departure roughly every 20 to 30 minutes during the day. The fare is cheap, about 4 CAD. From the deck you can photograph the full skyline with the Château Frontenac rising above the cliffs. In winter you can also experience sailing through the ice. Once in Lévis, you can walk along the riverside path before taking the same ferry back. The views are best in the evening and at night.
