We had a friend recommend it so we headed there with the kids. You have a great view but the ride is short. At the bottom outside the gift shop there is n interesting history of the funicular and great little shops and restaurants. We took the stairs after that first ride. The stairs are a great work out!

Great value! Neat gift shop at each end too. I would especially recommend it at night, when you can spot all the lights along the riverside. More

I would recommend using this on the way back up to the Old City. We used the stairs to get down to the lower part of town and after a few hours exploring this was very useful and saved us climbing up all those stairs with a tired 8 year old. Price is fine and the carriage is glass so... More

The funicular is located near Place Royale. It gave us a great view as we we went up to the Dufferin Terrace and the Chateau Frontenac. Next to the building where you go for the funicular is the grave of Louis Jolliet. More
