Accommodations & Travel

Kingston, Canada’s first capital city and one of the oldest cities in Canada, is home to Queen’s University. Kingston’s downtown is walkable, containing Ontario’s oldest public market, hidden alleyways leading to unique antique markets, boutiques and exceptional dining experiences. Kingston is also home to dozens of museums (including four Rembrandt paintings in the Agnes Etherington Art Centre), historic sites and a bustling art and cultures scene including Canada’s hippest live music. Kingston offers you something old and something new around every corner.

A full list of things to do in Kingston can be found at Visit Kingston. 

Kingston remains on the ancestral homelands of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
