Port summary

Ships dock about 2 km from town and a free port shuttle runs into the Marquette district during calls, so you need no paid transport. Église Sainte-Amélie (frescoes by Guido Nincheri) is by donation, the Vieux-Poste streets and Parc des Pionniers lookout are free public spaces, and the Microbrasserie St-Pancrace is a short walk for a local beer or lunch.

The Hydro-Québec guided tour is free but reservations are required at least 24 hours ahead at reserverunevisite.hydroquebec.com, with set start times (9:00, 11:00, 13:30, 15:30). The dam is about 30 minutes north of town, so the flexible DIY is a pre-booked rental car picked up in town after the free port shuttle; a round-trip taxi (about C$120) rarely beats the ship price for one or two people.
