Top Things to Do in Toronto

There is no shortage of exciting things to do in Toronto, Canada. I went to Toronto at the beginning of Fall, just in time to see the leaves change colors on the trees (and before it got too cold for my liking). While I was in Toronto, I went to concerts, I drove about an hour away to go on different hikes, and I even took a day trip to Niagara Falls (which I'm including here since that's the only time I've been in case you're wondering why you're seeing pics here).

Go to the top of the CN Tower

If you want to see the entire city with a 360 degree view, you have to go to the top of the CN Tower. Such an amazing experience to see the city from above.

Pro Tip: go just before sunset to see the sun set over the horizon, but make sure to get a spot early because it will fill up.

Go for a walk around the city center

Just around every corner, you'll find something cool to see. Spend time at Casa Loma. See the bright lights at Yonge-Dundas Square. Walk around the charming streets of the Distillery District. There's no lack of cool things to see and do in the city!

Spend a morning at Evergreen Brick Works

There's fun for everyone at Evergreen Brick Works. Walk around and enjoy nature, and even get a great skyline view of the city. Get some delicious food. Shop for handmade crafts.

Take a stroll through High Park

Get some fresh air and some exercise by taking a walk at High Park. You can even go through the park's zoo and see capybaras, highland cows, and more.

Visit Scarborough Bluffs

Take a drive just outside the city to see these incredible rock formations for yourself. Pictures don't do it justice!

Watch the Sunset at Polson Pier

A great spot to watch the sun sink above the horizon in Toronto is from Polson Pier. You can sit along the dock and watch the sky change colors. Get there early to get a good spot. And pay attention to parking signs, because you can easily get a parking ticket (I did, oops).

Where to Stay in Toronto

I recommend staying as close as you can to the center of the city, specifically near the CN Tower (marked with a star below). Toronto is very walkable and has great public transportation options if you need to stay a little further away.
