🇨🇦 Quebec Old Town in 1.5 Days (Car-Free Guide)

Arrived in the afternoon—with summer daylight lasting until 9 PM, we managed to hit most sights just by strolling after dinner. A full next day was plenty for foodie stops and filling gaps. No car? No problem! The compact Old Town is perfectly walkable. ✈️ Airport to Downtown Lyft doesn’t work here. Uber quoted $40 initially but surged to $80 post-landing. Pro Tip 1: Follow "Taxi" signs to the fixed-rate queue (paid $48 + tip, no surprises). Pro Tip 2: No luggage? Book Uber ASAP. Otherwise, wait for prices to drop back to ~$40. 🏨 Hotel Manoir Morgan Basic but prime location—steps from all attractions. A lifesaver when rain hit (easy dash back to nap!). Safe at night: Even 10 PM walks felt secure for photos. 🍽️ Food Recap D’Orsay Restaurant-Pub 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️ Must-try seafood pasta! Paillard 🌟🌟 "Why the hype?" Mediocre croissants & soggy napoleons. Sapristi Bistro Bar 🌟🌟🌟⭐️ Crispy, fragrant pizzas—solid! L’Échaudé 🌟🌟🌟 Huge duck leg lunch set (salad + fries). Les Cafés du Soleil 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Local-fave coffee spot—go early! Café La Maison Smith Skip the chain. La Pizzaio 😭 Closed at 1 PM?! Devastating. 🍜 White People Food Fatigue? Hit L’intermarché St-Jean (groceries) or Marché Ste-Ursule (snacks) for instant noodles. McDonald’s—always reliable. #QuebecTravel #CarFreeTravel #OldTownQuebec #FoodieFails
