Why go
Ride it for the combination of practical transport and city perspective. The car climbs at a sharp angle from the historic Louis Jolliet House to the terrace beside Château Frontenac, revealing rooftops and the St. Lawrence in a way that stairs do not.
What to look for
- The track rises across the cliff at a pronounced angle.
- Windows frame Lower Town roofs and the St. Lawrence during the brief ride.
- The lower entrance occupies the historic Louis Jolliet House.
Useful to know
- Check current hours, fare and payment options before relying on it for a timed connection.
- Ride one direction and use the Breakneck Stairs the other if mobility and weather allow.
