For a change of pace from the bustling city center, hop off at the Queen's University stop. This area, known as the Queen's Quarter, is rich in architecture, culture, and greenery.

Queen's University

The bus usually stops right in front of the Lanyon Building. Designed by Sir Charles Lanyon, this stunning Tudor-Gothic red brick building looks like something out of Harry Potter. It’s a fantastic photo opportunity.
