===Roads===
Two bridges (the [[Quebec Bridge]] and [[Pierre Laporte Bridge]]) and a ferry service connect the city with [[Lévis]] and its suburbs along the south shore of the [[Saint Lawrence River]]. The [[Île d'Orléans Bridge|Orleans Island Bridge]] links Quebec City with pastoral [[Île d'Orléans|Orleans Island]].

Quebec City is an important hub in the province's [[Autoroutes of Quebec|autoroute]] system, as well as boasting one of the highest "expressway lane kilometres per 1000 persons" in the country (1.10&nbsp;km), behind [[Calgary]] (1.74), [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]] (1.61) and [[Edmonton]] (1.24).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2004 |title=Projet de prolongement de l'axe du Vallon |url=http://www.bape.gouv.qc.ca/sections/mandats/du_vallon/documents/DQ5-1.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180329002416/http://www.bape.gouv.qc.ca/sections/mandats/du_vallon/documents/DQ5-1.pdf |archive-date=29 March 2018 |access-date=21 March 2017 |website=BAPE |page=2 |language=fr}}</ref> [[Quebec Autoroute 40|Autoroute 40]] connects the region with [[Montreal]] and [[Ottawa]] to the west and [[Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré]] and the [[Charlevoix]] region to the east. [[Quebec Autoroute 20|Autoroute 20]] parallels the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, linking Quebec City with Montreal and [[Toronto]] to the west and [[Rivière-du-Loup]], [[Rimouski]], and the [[The Maritimes|Maritime Provinces]] to the east. [[Quebec Autoroute 73|Autoroute 73]] provides a north–south link through the metropolitan area, linking it with [[Saint-Georges, Quebec|Saint-Georges]], the [[Beauce, Quebec|Beauce]] region, and Maine to the south and [[Saguenay, Quebec|Saguenay]] and the [[Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean|Lac-Saint-Jean]] region to the north.

Within the metropolitan region, Autoroutes 40, 73, and several spur routes link the city centre with its suburbs.

[[Quebec Autoroute 573|Autoroute 573 (Autoroute Henri-IV)]] connects the city with [[CFB Valcartier]]. [[Quebec Autoroute 740|Autoroute 740 (Autoroute Robert-Bourassa)]] serves as a north–south inner belt. [[Quebec Autoroute 440 (Quebec City)|Autoroute 440]] comprises two separate autoroutes to the west and east of the urban core. Originally meant to be connected by a tunnel under the city centre, the two sections are separated by a {{Convert|6|km|abbr=on}} gap. There are no current plans to connect them. The western section (Autoroute Charest) connects Autoroutes 40 and 73 with Boulevard Charest (a main east–west avenue) while the eastern section (Autoroute Dufferin-Montmorency) links the city centre with [[Beauport, Quebec City|Beauport]] and [[Montmorency Falls]].

===Public transport===

The [[Réseau de transport de la Capitale]] (RTC) is responsible for public transport in the region. The RTC operates a fleet of buses and has recently implemented articulated buses. The RTC is studying the return of a [[Quebec City Tramway|tramway]] system to help ease overcrowding on its busiest lines as well as attract new users to public transit. The two billion dollar revitalization project needs approval from higher levels of government since the city does not have the financial resources to fund such an ambitious project on its own. As of 2022, the project named Quebec City Tramway is under development.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/tramway-quebec-city-approved-1.6410943 |title=Quebec City tramway finally gets green light as province gives unconditional approval |publisher=CBC |date=6 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.transportaction.ca/topics/urban-transit/quebec-city-tramway-wins-provincial-backing/|title=We represent the interests of rail and bus passengers and advocate for public transport services in Canada.|date=April 28, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.railforthevalley.com/latest-news/zweisystem/quebec-city-tram-will-be-a-reality/|title=Quebec city Tram Will Be A Reality : Rail for the Valley|date=6 April 2022 }}</ref>

Rail transport is operated by [[Via Rail]] at the [[Gare du Palais]] ('Palace Station'). The station is the eastern terminus of the railway's main [[Quebec City-Windsor Corridor]]. An inter-city bus station, with connections to the provincial long-distance bus network, is adjacent to the train station, and is used by operators such as [[Orleans Express]] and [[Intercar]].

===Air and sea===
Quebec City is served by [[Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport|Jean Lesage International Airport]], located {{convert|13|km|abbr=on}} west of the city centre.

The [[Port of Quebec]] is a seaport on the St. Lawrence with facilities in the first, fifth and sixth boroughs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Port of Quebec |url=http://www.portquebec.ca/index.php?lang=en_GR |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120203072407/http://www.portquebec.ca/index.php?lang=en_GR |archive-date=3 February 2012 |access-date=24 June 2009}}</ref>
