PATH is a network of pedestrian tunnels beneath the office towers of Downtown Toronto. It is actually the largest underground shopping complex with 30 km of shopping arcades according to Guinness World Records.
By following PATH you'll reach your downtown destination easily in weatherproof comfort. Providing a safe haven from the weather, cold and snow in the winter and humidity in the summer, over 200,000 commuters use the PATH on a business day. The PATH links to public transit and over 50 office towers including the iconic Royal Bank Plaza, Scotia Plaza, Richmond Adelaide Centre, and more. The PATH also connects major tourist attractions such as The Hockey Hall of Fame, The Air Canada Centre, Rogers Centre, The CN Tower and many more.
Each letter in PATH is a different colour, each representing a direction. The P is red and represents south. The orange A directs pedestrians to the west, while the blue T directs them to the north. The H is yellow and points to the east.
The first underground path in Toronto originated in 1900 when the T. Eaton Co. joined it's main store at 178 Yonge St. and it's bargain annex by tunnels. By 1917 there were five tunnels in the downtown core. The real growth of PATH began in the 1970s when a tunnel was built to connect the Richmond-Adelaide and Sheraton Centres.
