The Itinerary

The Quebec City–Lévis ferry is one of the world's most beautiful urban crossings. In 10 minutes on the water, you cross from one shore to the other with a stunning view of the Château Frontenac, the Plains of Abraham and Cap-Diamant.

Lévis across the river is a city in its own right with its heritage Old Lévis quarter, Terrasse Dessane and increasingly acclaimed restaurants. Fort No. 1 in Lévis, a British defence relic, offers the most photographed panorama of Quebec City.
