Explore Kingston’s rich music, literature, and film histories through archival images, video clips, and behind-the-scenes stories with nine walking tours.
Kingston stands in the path of totality. A colourful city, diverse and vibrant. From place to people, craft to culture. Where we do things differently—including a solar eclipse.
Tourism Kingston acknowledges the everlasting presence of these Nations and other First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who share this landscape today. We are grateful to reside in and remain visitors to this territory, while acknowledging our responsibility to honour the land, water and skies with gentle respect and purifying preservation.
Kingston boasts four Rembrandt paintings, two film festivals, and one vibrant downtown shopping scene. Home to Ontario’s oldest public market and Canada’s hippest live music scene, Kingston is a walkable city, where hidden alleyways contain antique markets and restaurant patios.
With dozens of museums and historic sites, and dozens more unique shopping and dining experiences, Kingston offers you something old and something new around every corner. Learn more about Kingston.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed touring kingston! The downtown is very pretty! The ice skating rink is soooo cute..... really liked the antique pieces throughout downtown, and the presto tea place we visited for bubble teas was awsome!

Fantastic experience: Mia at the desk met all my tourism needs
Fantastic experience: Personnel très accueillant qui a répondu à toutes nos questions. Il y a des toilettes publiques dont l'accès est à l'arrière de l'édifice. Elles sont propres et accessibles en fauteuil roulant. Les lettres Kingston dans lesquelles nous pouvons prendre la position du «i» est un incontournable. La locomotive directement derrière la bâtisse présente un beau pan de l'histoire. Toute la ville de Kingston (et cet endroit ne fait pas exception) m'a semblée très ouverte aux membres de la communauté LGBTQ+.
Fantastic experience: We scheduled a Trolley Tour on Tuesday at the VIC. Vicitoria was a 10 out 10 with her customer service and the tour was excellent. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Très intéressant bien situé
Fantastic experience: I lived in Kingston mostly all my life and never visited this location until most recently. But on the side note, I would love to give a shout out to the staffs that works there for being amazing and accommodating to exchange a tshirt size I most recently bought. Contacted them regarding sizing issues and they were delightful to make an exception to exchange for a proper size. Thanks so much. About the location, great place to ask for info or to see what attractions for tourists to find and do around the City when they're visiting. Almost a nice full wall of brochures and pamphlets of hotels to attractions within the City of Kingston. They also got some really sweet merch section as well.
Fantastic experience: Great staff! Lovely downtown waterfront location.

Fantastic experience: All the public washrooms were temporaily closed when we visited on Apr 7, 2023. (Good friday). We were inside the centre, wanted to ask the whereabouts of washrooms. The 1 and only ambassador in the centre was busy helping out a couple, so we went to the hotel nearby ( we did ask for permission at the front desk). Defintiely a great tourist spot to stop by when you are on a road trip from toronto to ottawa and vice versa. Lots of street parkings available nearby. We parked on william street for $1.50 an hour.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place . It seems like we've been in each place of kingston good view. Memorable for me
Positive experience: Helpful busy spot. Clean public washrooms. Walking maps of downtown available here. Good tourist resources.

Fantastic experience: Great tourist information centre in downtown Kingston. Friendly staff. Lots of maps for local and regional attractions inside. Nothing tacky for sale. This is a legit Kingston tourist office! Grab some maps before heading out to explore the city. Great photo ops nearby.
Fantastic experience: Interesting place to stop for visitor information regarding Kingston and about tourist information on what there is to do while you are in the Kingston area. This is also a gift shop where you can buy some fun and inexpensive tourist memorabilia and gift items. Also, get some fun pictures at the KINGSTON sign, on the waterfront, and in the downtown and old Kingston area.
Fantastic experience: It was fun to be a tourist in my own city. Lots to see and do.
Fantastic experience: Nice place right by the water. Lots to see, many good photo opportunities. Great view of City Hall.
Fantastic experience: Staff are open and welcoming. Often know exactly what i am interested in with little description and quick to offer a pamphlet and any other helpful information. We noticed the froid art display outside and went in to ask about it. They provided additional information and directed us to martello alley (a couple of blocks away, walking distance). We found a couple more pieces of froid art on the way. Once there a local artist Laura Moreland provided a detailed synposis of the froid art making process. The pieces made from acrylics survive the ice and take on another life after they thaw! Each one is unique. Its the perfect winter for it this year. Check it out. Martello Alley staff happily provided a map where more froid art was on display downtown kingston.
Fantastic experience: Pequeño y hermoso pueblo con excelentes opciones turísticas recomendable para una pasada rápida o pasar un fin de semana muuuy tranquilo.
Fantastic experience: Great organization that promotes all the epic ways that Kingston is such a fantastic place to visit, work, play, or live in.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff !! Nice boutique as well, no crappy touristic stuff !
