hoopslover Posted July 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Does anyone know an approximate time it takes to walk from the cruise ship to the funicular? I have read all of the threads but can't find the distance. Also are taxis available at the port? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_More_Often Posted July 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2017 10-20 minutes if you don't stop to gawk at the darling little shops or take pictures. We could never do it in 10-20 minutes, because by the time we got the Funicular, we'd already have about 100 photos in our cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted July 30, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2017 For distances/directions, Google Maps is always your friend. Exactly how far depends which dock in QC though - there are some pretty far away from others (that map link is set to Pier 84, which actually isn't where any of the cruise vessels stop). Checking your ship on the cruise schedule, and then using the map of the piers that's also on the port site, will give the start point for mapping your route - depending which berth it could be as little as a few minutes walk (and if you're at the most distant berth, 104, at least 30mins away on foot, I believe cruiselines sometimes operate a shuttle that takes you to somewhere downtown). Taxis should be around at any time there's a ship docked, as drivers are very aware there's money to be made from tourists (especially those who like to pay with USD cash!)

Rare mskaufman Posted July 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2017 15 minutes is a good estimate but as a previous poster said that does not include stopping for pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me 45 minutes because I stopped to check out some stores,but the average person can do it in 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
