Kingston Essentials

Kingston, Canada's first capital, is defined by its 19th-century limestone architecture and strategic military history. This list features the UNESCO-listed Fort Henry and the Martello towers of the Kingston Fortifications. Explore the neoclassical City Hall and the historic Queen’s University campus. Along the waterfront, discover the 1849 waterworks at the Pump House Museum or depart from Confederation Basin for cruises through the 1000 Islands. The Kingston Public Market, operating since 1801, remains the city's central gathering point.
