Downtown Elora

Selfie SpotShop

No trip can be complete without visiting a “beating heart” of a town – the downtown, especially Elora’s. Historic stone buildings line along the main street with an authentic mill by the river.

The town centre is full of pubs, restaurants and small local shops.

One of the famous things about Downtown Elora is its scary sculptures and monuments during Halloween.
