There is so much in Old Town, you MUST see this if you go to Yellowknife. A lot of great restaurants and museums. I would highly recommend going to pilot's monument as well to get a great view of the lake and old town. Hit up Bullock's and the Smoke House too!

Loved the Old Town Glassworks workshop. They recycle wine and some liquor bottles into beautiful glasses, vases, some jewelry. The workshop teaches you how to take a bottle and transform it into the item you choose, prep it and sand blast a design onto it for a very unique functional souvenir. They also had some very reasonably priced prints by... More

An area of Yellowknife with lots of little eclectic places to look around. Must visits are Old Town Gassworks ....

Gives you the feel for the place. Gallery of the Midnight Sun shop was fantastic. Get your keepsakes there (and bring your $$). A few good eateries. Quaint

Very authentic place to visit in Yellowknife and very close to the hotel. When you get there do not forget to visit the pilot monument that is up in the hill. U couldget the best view of the City of Yellowknife.

Very pretty with a lot of different sites to take in. Great shopping for heritage items. A little expensive, but worth the trip to the Old Town.

A tour of the Old Town, whether on foot, or in a vehicle (stopping and getting out of course) provides many interesting buildings to view and photograph. The sculptures and items of interest around 'Yellowknife Cultural Crossroads' were particularly interesting.

Lots of galleries and a few cafe's and B&B's. But they're all spread out around this small old town area. The best way to see it is to walk. Don't forget to check out the Pilot's Monument at the top of the hill.

The architecture throughout is something you sure don't see other places. It's great that it's all unchanged and the locals are friendly and interesting. If you bump into Walter, say hi !
