On our walk we’ll encounter iconic and historic buildings such as the elegant Flatiron Building, the Royal York Hotel, spacious theatres, the breathtaking Galleria & more.
One of the city’s earliest thoroughfares, the landscape of Front St. East has undergone many changes over the years. On our walk, we’ll see an examine these changes, including the new North Market building at St. Lawrence Market, and the renovation and restoration of Union Station and other buildings.
