Walk north from the condo, to the river and walk east along the park. You'll see some great sights, walk past the Peace Bridge, Princes Island Park, Eau Claire and end up at the East Village - a great place to get a coffee, have some lunch and get your nails done. This is an up and coming neighbourhood and there's always something happening there. It's about a 30-40 min walk
