- 🚗 Old City parking: Very limited and expensive — confirm before booking a Vieux-Québec hotel if you're driving
- 🏙️ Better for parking: Sainte-Foy or Lebourgneuf district hotels (suburban QC) — larger lots, lower rates, 15–20 min to the terminal by rideshare
- 🏰 Worth the premium: Staying in the Old City itself — the experience of Vieux-Québec the night before a St. Lawrence sailing is extraordinary
- 🍁 Night before: Grande Allée terrasse bars, dinner in Lower Town (Place Royale), evening walk along the ramparts with views of the St. Lawrence
- 💡 Fall tip: October sailings coincide with peak St. Lawrence foliage — one of the most beautiful times to be in Quebec City before a cruise
