Your Experience

Kensington Market's houses never really went away. Look up and you see the old gables; look down and a shop has been built right over the front yard. Once you know the trick, you can read the whole neighbourhood. Start at the twin-domed Kiever Synagogue and Bellevue Square, where actor Al Waxman stands in bronze, then loop through the food streets of Augusta, Baldwin and Kensington Avenue. Walk down wide Spadina to Chinatown's busiest corner and hear how the first Chinatown was cleared for City Hall and a new one grew here.

Follow Dundas past Jean Lumb Lane to Frank Gehry's glass and timber front for the Art Gallery of Ontario and OCAD's black-and-white box on stilts, then finish in Grange Park at the Grange, which the City calls its oldest brick house, with Gehry's blue tower rising behind it.

Eleven stops, about 2 km and 90 minutes, in English and at your own pace. Start whenever you like and stop to eat on the way.
