Walking Downtown Without Going Outside
The PATH is a network of mostly underground walkways stretching more than 30 kilometers beneath downtown Toronto. It links office towers, hotels, shopping centres, subway stations and Union Station, letting people cross much of downtown without stepping outside.
The first tunnel opened around 1900, when a department store connected its buildings. The modern network grew from the 1960s as towers were built. It has been recognized as the world's largest underground shopping complex, with more than 1,000 shops, services and food courts.
Signs use the letters P, A, T and H in different colors, each pointing a direction; the red P points south toward Lake Ontario. On cold or snowy weekdays, tens of thousands of office workers walk the PATH, though newcomers often find it easy to get lost.
