Top Attractions
Vendors have been selling peameal bacon sandwiches, aged cheeses, and Lake Erie pickerel from this 1845 iron-and-brick hall every Saturday morning for generations.
This dense, car-free neighbourhood of Victorian rowhouses hosts vintage shops, Caribbean bakeries, and a cheese shop with wheels of aged gouda stacked floor to ceiling.
Step onto the glass floor 342 metres above the city for a vertiginous straight-down view of streetcar rooftops and lake freighters.
The Daniel Libeskind crystal addition crashes dramatically into the Victorian facade, housing everything from a full dinosaur gallery to ancient Egyptian mummies.
Hidden Gems
A ten-minute ferry from the financial district drops you into a car-free world of lagoons, a small amusement park, and unobstructed skyline views that most tourists never find.
These 90-metre-tall white clay cliffs rise suddenly above Lake Ontario's eastern shore, carved into cathedral-like formations that look borrowed from a different continent.
A linear park and event space threading beneath the Gardiner Expressway's concrete columns, hosting skating in winter and art installations where the highway's hum becomes ambient music.
This Victorian garden cemetery in Cabbagetown is the quietest green space in the east end, full of gothic chapels, weeping willows, and the graves of Toronto's founders.
