Planning a Trip

Getting There

If you're driving from Ottawa, take Route 416 south to Route 401 (the Trans-Canada Hwy.), then drive west to Kingston. Or, with a little more time, take scenic Route 2 instead; Route 401 is an expressway, heavily trafficked and often stressful -- if you're looking for relaxation, I'd avoid it if possible. From Toronto, you have little choice but to take Route 401 directly east to the Kingston exits.

If you want to take public transit, several comfortable daily VIA Rail (tel. 888/VIA-RAIL; www.viarail.ca) trains call at Kingston coming from Ottawa, Toronto, and Montréal.

Visitor Information

Stop by the handsome Kingston Tourist Information Office at 209 Ontario St. (tel. 888/855-4555 or 613/548-4415), housed inside the old railroad station on the waterfront across from City Hall. Its attendants can help you find lodging and sell tickets for the bus tours that start out front. Also consult the city's tourism website at http://tourism.kingstoncanada.com.
