To save your energy and to enjoy fantastic views, ride the funicular. It's a pretty steep climb from Old Québec's Basse-Ville (Lower Town) to Haute-Ville (Upper Ville). Fares are the same for leBus as they are for the Métrobus. RTC operates 60 bus routes throughout the greater metropolitan area, but to figure out which buses to rely on for all your tourist needs, check out RTC's handy bus guide for visitors. If you're exploring outside the old city walls, you can rely on leBus, the most expansive bus network within the city's transportation system. Buses stop every 10 to 15 minutes, so visitors won't have to wait long to catch a ride. One-day passes, unlimited weekend passes and five-day passes (Monday through Friday) are also available. Discounted fares are available for children, teens, students and seniors. A one-ride general ticket costs only CA$3 (about $2.40), or CA$3.50 (about $2.75) if you pay in cash. There are six bus routes that offer transport throughout Old Québec, stopping near many of the neighborhood's most popular attractions, such as the Citadel and the Museum of Civilization. When you grow tired of walking or the cold weather has chilled you to the bone, Québec City's RTC (or Réseau de Transport de la Capitale) Métrobus is there to save the day.

However, considering the hills in Old Québec, biking is not the best way to get around the city. There are a couple of area companies that rent bikes and offer guided tours. Other routes can be found on the Quebec City Tourism website. The 5 ½-mile Corridor de la Rivière-Saint-Charles trail starts from the Old Port Market, is separated from traffic and loops along both banks of river. If you want to see more of the river or take a look at what the suburbs of Quebec City look like, there are several excellent inline bike trails, most of which start in the Old Port. Just make sure that you're dressed warmly, especially during the winter months, and that you stop frequently: The city's many cozy cafes and quaint shops make excellent venues to thaw. Because many of Québec City's top attractions can be found within Old Québec's ancient walls, you won't need more than your own two feet to make the most of your visit.
