Historic Downtown Kingston

Downtown Kingston is the hub of prime attractions including Kingston City Hall and Springer Market Square. You'll find plenty of great places to stay here, many of them with views over the water and within easy striking distance of key attractions. Set overlooking historic Market Square, this wide-open public space is reminiscent of the traditional city squares of Europe and is the scene of numerous events year-round, as well as regular farmers' markets. In the summer months, free movies are screened here, while in winter, a skating rink provides plenty of family fun.

In addition to its great shopping and dining experiences, the area of Downtown Kingston is also home to a number of other important landmarks. These include Fort Frontenac, parts of which date back to the time of the French settlement in 1673, and two splendid churches: St. George's Anglican Cathedral and St. Mary's Cathedral. For those wanting to park their car and use public transit, the handy hop-on, hop-off "K-Pass" can be purchased at various locations around the city.

Downtown Kingston is also for the kids! Events like Maple Madness, Buskers Rendezvous, and Movies in the Square offer family-friendly fare, while Kingston’s many museums have engaging children’s exhibits and programming that the whole family can enjoy, including the Museum of Healthcare, the PumpHouse, and Frontenac County Schools Museum. Grass Creek Park and Breakwater Park, which features an accessible beach, are both favourites.
