Start off your trip with a visit to the iconic CN Tower, one of the most recognizable landmarks in Toronto. Take a high-speed elevator up to the observation deck, where you'll get panoramic views of the city. For an extra thrill, try the EdgeWalk, where you'll venture out onto a 1.5-meter-wide ledge that encircles the tower, 116 stories above the ground.
The Royal Ontario Museum is one of the largest museums in North America, with over six million items in its collection. Explore the museum’s extensive galleries featuring art, archaeology, and natural history. You can also visit the special exhibitions showcasing different themes, cultures, and eras.
Take a stroll through the Distillery District, a pedestrian-only area that features some of Toronto's best-preserved Victorian-era buildings. You'll find artisanal shops, galleries, and restaurants in this cobblestone-lined neighborhood. Try some local beers at the Mill Street Brewery or enjoy a coffee break at Balzac's, a café in a red brick building that was once a pump house.
Start your day at the historic St. Lawrence Market, a bustling marketplace that dates back to 1803. Explore the different vendors selling fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and baked goods. Don't miss the famous peameal bacon sandwiches from Carousel Bakery, a local favorite.
Escape the city for a few hours by taking a ferry to the Toronto Islands, a chain of islands just off the coast of downtown Toronto. Enjoy a picnic at one of the beaches, rent a bike or a kayak, or go for a walk on the trails. Don't forget to visit the Centreville Amusement Park if you're traveling with kids!
