ByWard Market

ByWard Market combines a historic market core with surrounding streets of food, shops, art and nightlife. The district changes by time of day, so browsing and evening energy call for different pacing.

Why go

Use the market hall as a center point, then choose a handful of surrounding blocks rather than treating the whole district as one stop. The market's compact core leads into a much wider neighborhood, and that change of scale is the reason to wander beyond a single hall.

What to look for

  • The market hall sits amid tightly spaced streets of shops and food stalls.

Useful to know

  • Choose a few adjacent market blocks; the wider district takes longer than its hall.
