Kensington is a small business district, about four blocks by four blocks shaped like two sides of a square, so it’s easy to walk around and see it all.
Don’t be fooled by the neighbourhood’s size though. This areas punches above its weight with about 255 shops and services. There are some cool historic buildings combined with modern architecture, but all in all, the feeling is of a small village. It has a cool and often whimsical take in the variety of shops and public art.
The Kensington district is more than 100 years old and continues to be a great inner city shopping district for tourists and is a popular destination for locals for dates and hanging out.

Calgary C-Train.
City Hall station is just behind the library on the NW side of it. The downtown core is a “free fare” zone. Jump on and off at any station for free. It will also take you to all other areas of the city with a decent fare .
