Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice historic area with specialty shops. basically a historic district with shops. Nice place to drive around, but didn't feel safe walking around. There was a fair amount of homeless and low rent hotel people walking around. You had to keep looking over your shoulder. It has become a victim of the downfall of the Winnipeg downtown decline. I wondered why most of the shops closed around 7PM after the bad crowds started to hang around at night. If you are looking for something particular I would plan the visit well, shop and get out.

The old market square district is a collection of early 1900's warehouses, office towers and apartments. With China town to the north and the modern downtown to the south, this well kept tree lined district is a must see for anyone looking for an interesting walk about. Home to the annual Winnipeg Fringe Theater Festival, Book & toy shops, quaint restaurants, galleries, and a collection of clothing stores combined with the historic flavor of the streets make this one of Winnipeg's more interesting districts. For the price of a parking meter you can park your car and walk the district to step back in time to a kinder gentler world.

This is one of my favorite areas of Winnipeg. So many cool things to see and great architecture. The problem is it feels dead 90% of the time. The city needs to do a better job utilizing this space, especially during the winter months. This could be a beautifully lit winter wonderland for skating and small pop-up shops. instead it's a cold desolate square for most of the winter.

Lots of restaurants and cafes. Craft beer warehouse, Games Room restaurant and a stage with entertainment(Summer only). Historical area. Renovated buildings where many high end and specialty stores reside. Mainly street parking, Just drive a few blocks further. Close to Chinatown.

During the day this area might not be very populated but when there is an event such as the Jazz Festival or the Fringe, it is the place to be. Everyone gathers around the stage area called The Cube. This is a popular place for wedding and engagement photos. There are many good restaurants around the area also. Fun place to people watch and take in the action. Excellent shopping at very unique shops.
The only drawback is that there are occasionally panhandlers.

It's Winnipeg, so there's not much to do or see. I guess this is one of the more interesting and nature appealing aspects.

We really enjoyed our recent visit to Old Market Square. We did not know the Multicultural Festival was on but really enjoyed it. The festival featured live music and dancers. There were multiple food trucks, we tried the Island Fusion food truck. Very tasty! Mayor Bowman was even there and was very friendly to the crowd.

You can spend a better part of a day just walking around and checking out all of the unique shops and eateries. Park on one of the streets and then go explore!
