The City of Guelph was originally designed to resemble a European city centre. That appearance is still evident today in the downtown square, as well as in the city's broad streets and narrow side streets.  Victorian era buildings line the streets of downtown, which is located at the confluence of two rivers that flow throughout the city: Eramosa and Speed. Close by is the home of famed Canadian poet John McCrae (author of In Flanders Fields) and it remains as one of the city's several museums and many historical buildings. 

More facts that account for the great standard of living in Guelph is the amount of high quality schooling available to its residents, through two public school boards and two post-secondary institutions, including the University of Guelph, one of Canada's top comprehensive universities, and Conestoga College.

Guelph also has several large parks, including a 165-hectare arboretum and Guelph Lake, which is a man-made reservoir on the Speed River and is part of a 1,600-hectare conservation area. Living in Guelph makes it easy to attend any number of large, annual festivals that take place year-round.

And when it comes to transportation, VIA Rail provides access by train to Toronto and London, as do highways 401, 6, and 7, which attach to the south and north-ends of the city. Guelph Transit provides thorough transportation within the city. The interior transit system is supported by a web-based system that provides riders with accurate arrival times based on global positioning satellite systems.
