Old Town

Nine neighbourhoods in Toronto’s lower east end make up what is affectionately known as Old Town Toronto. In this community, beautiful 19th-Century buildings mark the city’s beginnings, while the art galleries, offices, shops and restaurants chart its future.

Revitalized areas such as the Distillery District, the picturesque Flatiron Building, St. Lawrence Market, Front Street and King Street have made this community popular with shoppers, art lovers and photographers looking for a glimpse of Toronto’s past. If the number of buildings being restored in this area is any indication of what’s to come in the future, Old Town Toronto will continue to be one of the best strolls in the city.
