The Citadelle sits right at the edge of Old Quebec, about a 15-minute uphill walk from the main tourist areas around Château Frontenac. You can drive up and there's parking available, though it fills up quickly in summer. The walk itself is actually quite pleasant - you'll pass through some of the most historic parts of the city and the approach gives you a real sense of how imposing this fortress must have seemed to potential attackers. If you're staying in Old Quebec, it's definitely walkable, just wear comfortable shoes since you'll be dealing with cobblestones and some decent inclines.
