Old town is ok. Sort of another funky neighborhood. But compared with the other things to see in Yellowknife, it drops to the bottom of my list. Go to the museum and take the legislature tour at 10:30 a.m. Go out on the lake on...More

Really love walking this area, numerous interesting craft and art galleries and my favourite brew pub “Woodyard”. You can’t visit Yellowknife without going to this area.

See the other part of Yellowknife it will not disappoint

I go down to old town quite often it offers a good selection on art and food as well as nostalgia. Great gift shops, galleries, restaurants, and other interesting sites. You might even be able to buy some fresh fish at the dock from Buckley’s....More

Great history lesson while you walk.

I walked from the downtown to Old Town and spend a good 4.5 hours just taking it all in. Beautiful surroundings, lots of awesome shops, and plaques all around describing Yellowknife 's early history.

Worth Exploring and Shopping

A walk or drive around Old Town is great for history and shopping. There are some classic restaurants to visit. We had some confusion and the opening hours of some shops, but found lots of great places to stop, shop and/or learn.

A lovely part of Yellowknife

Old town has both modern housing as well as more traditional native housing. The views on to the Lake are wonderful and this part of Yellowknife has great character.
