Toronto Has the World’s Largest Underground Shopping Space

There are shopping meccas all around the world. London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Milan, and Los Angeles are all recognized as locations where jetsetters can spend a sizable sum of money to get the newest odd item that people who call themselves jetsetters could want. Visit Toronto, Ontario if you want a genuinely spectacular shopping experience that involves walking 19 miles through a 4 million square foot underground facility.

The Path, the biggest underground shopping complex in the world, has over 5,000 employees and roughly 1,200 stores. Every day, almost 200,000 people use the Path to go shopping or commute to work because 50 office buildings are connected underneath by the extensive passages. The majority of Toronto's popular tourist attractions, including the CN Tower, the Rogers Center, the Air Canada Center, numerous hotels, and more, are also accessible by this route. In essence, it connects the city's downtown to the area beneath it.

A subterranean tunnel was used to connect an Eaton's department store to its discount annex in 1900, which is when the complete edifice was built. Obviously, from there, things developed. However, it's virtually hard to discern from the ground up because the Path's numerous entrances are so barely perceptible.
