The original pedestrian tunnels are built to connect Eaton’s buildings and, later, to link Union Station to the Royal York Hotel.
Beneath Toronto’s busy streets lies a hidden world — the PATH, a 30-kilometre network of underground walkways connecting downtown landmarks, offices, and shopping centres. What started as a few tunnels in the early 1900s has grown into the world’s largest underground shopping complex, linking Union Station, the Eaton Centre, and countless towers across the Financial District. Once a “ghost town” during the pandemic, the PATH is alive again, a symbol of Toronto’s resilience, design, and constant reinvention.
