Bloor-Yorkville
1.4 miles from city centre
What happens to celebrities when you close the fash-mag? They’re probably living the glamorous life in Yorkville’s high-cost condos and high-end shops and where ‘hi, how are you’s’ roll off the tongue like silk. Pop along and greet your good friends Chanel and Tiffany, steam up with a spa at Windsor Arms, then dine at Buca (try the raw sea bass).

Old Town Toronto
0.7 miles from city centre
Well, some people flat iron their hair. The Gooderham – a “flat-iron” building built in 1892 – hints at the quirky architecture to be found in the Old Town. Catch a matinee at the Rainbow Cinema (tickets are the best value in town), then pick a prime dining spot on the Esplanade. Saturdays, venture to the St Lawrence Market for gourmet galore.

The Harbourfront
0.7 miles from city centre
Goodbye factories, hello fun! Shipbuilding factories became loft-style condos, folks traded their blue-collar shirts for hipster red, and today this ‘hood is among the coolest in town. Watch paddle yoga in the bay (it’s a thing), or catch an event: see Harbourfront Centre for galleries, studios and theatres, or cross Lake Ontario towards Queens Quay.

The Village
0.7 miles from city centre
Stop in the name of love. Dance in the name of "Pride". There's a permanent rainbow over Church and Wellesley. The Village is the scene of flag-flying parades, tricks and plenty of treats. Dads walk hand-in-hand, urbane sophisticates chat over cocktails, and drag queens lip-sync to Miss D. Ross. No matter what colour or creed, all are welcome!
Places to stay from £54 per night
Chinatown
0.9 miles from city centre
No need to take the slow boat to China – everything is right here at your doorstep! The birds aren't the only ones going “cheap” – shirts, t-shirts, jeans and sunglasses are a dime a dozen and all for a dime. Shop a lot for a little, sip on bubble tea (a Taiwanese treat) and don't miss Dumpling House Restaurant for ... what else, dumplings!

Financial District
0.2 miles from city centre
Flicking that abacus all day takes its toll. Just ask the Financial District’s stockbrokers, statisticians and bean counters who make the multimillion-dollar decisions that steer the nation. Toronto's CBD is a slick suit-and-tie affair, punctuated by even slicker skyscrapers – for proof, see First Canadian Place; it's the nation's tallest.
Places to stay from £79 per night
Downtown Toronto
In the city centre
Nine-to-niners work the week away in a sea of skyscrapers, but don't let that spoil the view. Believe it or not, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada is here. Head up the CN Tower for a birds-eye peep over T-town, or share in Canada's sport fixation – NBA Toronto Raptors and NHL Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre, or MBL Toronto Bluejays at the Rogers Centre.
Places to stay from £20 per night
The capital of Ontario, Toronto is a melting pot of cultures and the financial hub of Canada. The sprawling metropolis is home to soaring skyscrapers and high-rises, forming a skyline that’s filled in for cities like New York and Chicago in countless movies and TV shows.
Toronto’s iconic skyline is dominated by the 553-metre-tall CN Tower, once the tallest building in the world. The urban jungle is also home to a Gothic Revival castle – the stately Casa Loma featuring a museum, secret passageways and acres of immaculate gardens. Once you’ve had a glimpse of the cityscape, you can truly soak up the culture with a feast at the historic St. Lawrence Market in the Old Town, or a stroll through the eclectic Distillery District, characterised by Victorian architecture, cobblestone streets and trendy art galleries, boutiques and bars.
Canada lives and breathes hockey, and for an introduction to the national sport, you can head to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. If it’s art and culture you’re after, the Royal Ontario Museum is the country’s largest, boasting 13 million items spanning centuries and civilisations – from dinosaur fossils to Egyptian mummies. Also worth a visit is the Art Gallery of Ontario, redesigned by architecture luminary Frank Gehry, who calls the city home.

30 April 2024
It was my first visit in Canada , and my first NHL game in Toronto . The apartment is on the 48th floor, next to the Scotiabank Arena. Toronto has a great transport system as you can take not only the subway and tram but also the train to wherever you want to go by taxi, so it was great. What I didn't know was that Toronto has a secret life, and that's the areas under the buildings where let you walk all over downtown, unaffected by the weather. This area is full of restaurants, cafes, boutiques and other shops. CN tower was really highly, scary but the view from there was beautiful. Niagara Falls ohhh was beautiful and powerful.
Ate on Dupont Street - lots of casual places with character.

Ate on Dupont Street - lots of casual places with character. Transit very easy to navigate. Coffee and gelato excellent at Mizzica's. Would not bother with Hockey Hall of Fame - far too corporate and NHL -oriented.

It was over 40 years between visits to Canada and my first time in Toronto, it did not dissapoint. Toronto is a big city and you are spoilt for choice with where to stay. We stayed downtown as it was close to conference venue. You will want to spend time exploring the different neighbourhoods and if you get time, I would recommend a tip down to Hamilton and to Niagra. All serviced by the clean and reliable GO trains from Union station. Cose to the city I recommend walking through Kensington Market - which is a district rather than a market. On the weekend this place is heaving. You have a pletohra of great restaurants and a people watching paradise. Closer to downtown, a walk along King and Queen streets will reward you with street art, quirky shops, some of the best vintage stores I have been in and food options galore. Can also recommend a wander through Chinatown (Between Queen St and Kensington Market. The Distillery District is worth a look if you have time. The old distillery makes for an interesting backdrop to new residental buildings, shops, bars and restaurants. The UP trains from the airport (Pearson) to the city are your best option to get into the city. Around $12 and about 25 minutes - well worth it and a lot cheaper than taxis and Uber. Enjoy!

I am no stranger to Toronto as I worked for The City of Toronto at Toronto City Hall for 40 years. Toronto is an exciting City to visit. It’s so clean, the people are super friendly, there are so many different types of food and restaurants to enjoy, so many wonderful attractions to visit - a trip on the Ferry to Centre Island is a must during the warm summer months, the Aquarium, take in a Toronto Blue Jays game, walk to St Lawrence Market. Visit beautiful Nathan Phillips square anytime of the year. Make sure to spend a day at the Toronto Zoo too.!!!! Go to The Pint right across the street for a pint and some delicious food and hang out with all the Blue Jays fans!!!!

had difficulty getting an Uber return trip from Scotia Bank arena to accommodations-left standing on corner at 18 York street at 11pm on a very cool night which was the requested pick up location but driver was a no show and we were charged a cancellation fee by uber????

6 April 2024
I particularly liked the waterfront parks, the Luminiere exhibit was lovely. CN tower was so-so, but the Aquarium was excellent. The Princess of Wales Theater is a lovely, contemporary theater and the production of Les Miserables that I attended was fantastic. Food very good - particularly at Vagabondo Italian, and Dessert Lady coffee shop.
