Queen Street anchors one of Canada's best-preserved historic streetscapes, a stretch of Regency- and Victorian-era storefronts that today house boutiques, artisan chocolatiers, bakeries, tea rooms, and art galleries. Recognized as part of a nationally significant heritage conservation district, the walkable strip is the social and commercial heart of the Old Town and a destination in its own right. Strolling, shopping, and people-watching along its tidy, tree-lined blocks rank among the most popular things visitors do in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
