Kingston, a town that has preserved its historic appearance, is a good place for a short but different visit in Ontario. The town is at the end of the Saint Laurent river, where it finally flows into Lake Ontario.

Kingston: How to get there?
2 hours from Ottawa, 3 hours from Montreal and 3 hours from Toronto by car
Home to many an intellectual, Kingston is known for its famous university, being home to Queen's University, the Canadian Military College and St. Lawrence College. Welcome to Ontario and a verdoyant student and family friendly town!
My suggestion
During market days on the town hall square, you'll find stalls selling fruit and vegetables, as well as delicious little cakes sold by cheerful students - enough to make you want to apply to Queen's!

My suggestion
During my trips to Ontario in Canada, my favourite thing to do in Kingston is eat dinner at Fort Henry. Soldiers serve you food that was typical of the era and the meal is followed by a military parade - what could be better!
If you are taking off for Canada, and especially for Quebec, we can help you plan so you can travel eco-responsibly! Because Quebec has its own eco-tourism label: Aventure Écotourisme Québec. You can trust them... but still keep your eyes open!
