Kitchener-Waterloo Travel Guide
Welcome to Kitchener-Waterloo!
Kitchener-Waterloo has a combination of city comforts and country flare spiced up with unique festivities and a distinct culture. Kitchener-Waterloo is located in southern Ontario, only 105 km (66 mi) from Toronto. Embedded in the twin cities' fabric is the Old Order Mennonite group, a community of residents who eschew modern technology, thereby combining modern upbeat city life alongside that of the slower and simpler 19th century. In fact, in Kitchener-Waterloo, a horse and buggy rig in the midst of a whir of traffic is not uncommon. The region has two prestigious universities, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University. For a taste of history, visitors can explore the Woodside National Historic Site, the celebrated boyhood home of prominent former Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King. Lucky visitors who arrive in Kitchener-Waterloo in the fall might take in the celebrated Oktoberfest, which features lively music and entertainment, as well as plenty of libations.
