Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and the only one with French as its sole official language, offering a unique blend of European charm and North American dynamism. From the historic walled city of Quebec City to the cosmopolitan streets of Montreal, and from the dramatic Saguenay Fjord to the peaks of the Laurentian Mountains, Quebec delivers an extraordinary diversity of landscapes and cultures. It is a place where centuries of Indigenous and French heritage meet modern innovation, world-class cuisine, and vibrant arts.
Transportation details
Full breakdown of how to get around.
Quebec has a well-developed transportation network centered on two major hubs: Montreal and Quebec City. Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) serves as the main gateway to the province, while Quebec City Jean Lesage Airport (YQB) handles regional and some international traffic. VIA Rail trains and Orleans Express buses connect major cities, while the STM metro and bus system covers Montreal and the RTC covers Quebec City.
Transport tips
Travel smarter, not harder.
Buy multi-day or weekly transit passes if you'll use public transport more than twice a day.
Keep small change handy for buses and shorter trips where contactless may not work.
Avoid rush hour (typically 7-9 AM and 5-7 PM) for a more comfortable journey.
