Kingston and Area

At the gateway of the 1000 Islands and the UNESCO-designated Rideau Canal, Kingston is a city of many names, many peoples, many stories and many directions – from its First Peoples to the settlers who eventually came to call it home.

Nestled within a region known for its vibrant cultural heritage, Kingston is often called "the limestone city" because of its charming limestone buildings, many of which help tell the story of Canada.

With plenty of museums, art galleries and historical sites to keep you busy – from small, specialized museums and arts venues brimming with local and international talent to national historical treasures – Kingston is also a wonderful starting point to expand your horizons and explore the wider area.
