St. Lawrence Market Area
The St. Lawrence Market / Old Town area sits at the historic heart of Toronto — a walkable pocket where 19th‑century charm meets a lively food and arts scene.
The St. Lawrence Market Complex is an iconic landmark and a culinary hotspot featuring more than 120 merchants and farmers.
St. Lawrence Market may be known primarily for its food, but it’s also a great destination for shopping and activities. During a normal weekday, local craftspeople and artisans come to the market to set up shop and display their wares. With everything from handcrafted jewellery, to quality natural clothing, to accessories, crafts and souvenirs, it’s an ideal place to find that perfect one-of-a-kind item.
Waterfront and Toronto Islands
Just a short walk south, the Waterfront offers lake views, public art, and ferry access to the Toronto Islands. It’s perfect for a pre‑conference jog or a post‑conference stroll with skyline views.
City Centre
From the market, you can stroll west along Front Street to reach the CN Tower, Union Station, and the Entertainment District in about 15‑20 minutes. Heading north brings you to Nathan Phillips Square and the CF - Toronto Eaton Centre.
If you prefer wheels to walking, the BikeShareTO network has stations right near the market, and most major downtown attractions are just a few minutes away by bike or streetcar.
