About the city
Peterborough, a city in Ontario, is known for its pleasant combination of cultural life, sporting events and live entertainment, making it an appealing destination for visitors planning to attend a concert, a game or a larger public program. Peterborough Memorial Centre holds an important place in the local sports and entertainment scene, while the city’s relaxed pace, restaurants, accommodation options and proximity to nature provide a strong setting for a complete experience before and after an event.
The infrastructure is easy to navigate, especially when travelling to the main arenas and event areas in the city. Local transport is operated by Peterborough Transit, with bus routes connecting neighbourhoods, campuses, shopping areas and the city centre, while Peterborough Bus Terminal serves as an important starting point for local and intercity connections. Arrivals from the wider region often use GO Transit bus connections to Oshawa GO Station and onward to Toronto Union Station, while air travel can be planned through Peterborough Regional Airport or the larger Toronto Pearson International Airport. This connectivity makes it easier to plan a trip to arenas, stadiums and accommodation without complicated transfers within the city.
Peterborough’s tourist bonus is especially visible in walks along the Otonabee River, visits to the city centre and sightseeing around Peterborough Lift Lock, one of the best-known landmarks on the Trent-Severn Waterway system. Before or after a concert, it is worth strolling through downtown, stopping at local restaurants and cafés or visiting the Canadian Canoe Museum, which further highlights the city’s connection with water, history and Canadian heritage. Thanks to this combination of events, accessibility and a calmer urban atmosphere, Peterborough is a practical choice for visitors who want to combine tickets, travel and a short city visit.
