Guide: 8 of the most beautiful buildings in Toronto
"Just down the road from the Gooderham is St. Lawrence Market, which has been a fixture in Toronto for over two centuries. Every week, more than 120 vendors set up shop, and their colourful displays bursting with the likes of organic produce, fresh-baked goods, homemade jam and Canadian cheeses are photo heaven."
"Toronto’s City Hall is the main draw here but the revitalization that’s been going on has locals coming back. Just above all the concrete, the City Hall podium roof has turned into a public garden offering solace from the politics below. The permanent theatre stage has live performances during many of the festivals held here and don’t forget to check out the Peace Garden which has relocated to the west side of the square."
"Now I know I mentioned that you cannot go to Toronto and not get a picture with the CN Tower. But Nathan Phillips Square is another perfect location to get that typical Toronto picture. Whether you visit in the summer or winter there is plenty of opportunity for you – whether you are with the iconic Toronto sign or skating around with City Hall in the background."
"Pull on some skates and go ice skating at Nathan Phillips Square. If you’re not an ice skater, hang around the square to lap up the winter wonderland atmosphere while you watch the skaters glide across the ice."
"Formerly known as SkyDome, Toronto’s Rogers Centre is a multi-purpose sport venue conveniently located in the city’s core, right next to the CN Tower. Designed by Canadian architect Rod Robbie in collaboration with engineer Michael Allen, the stadium was inaugurated in 1989 as one of the most innovative and versatile sport centres in the world. In addition to its elaborate planning, the construction stands out for its fully retractable roof which has the capability to open/close in only 20 minutes."
"Major League Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays call the Rogers Center their home. The roof slides open in good weather, revealing a stunning view from above and below. As an extra incentive, you can visit the Toronto Marriott City Centre Hotel attached to the stadium."
"When the Rogers Centre roof is open – you know it’s a nice day!. Still thinking about sports?. How about catching a baseball game?"
"With Spectacular Views Of Lake Ontario And The City Skyline, The Non-Smoking Westin Harbour Castle Toronto Provides A Memorable Stay For Our Guests. The 38-Story, Non-Smoking Property Houses 977 Rooms And Is Ideally Situated On The Waterfront. All Accommodations Feature Modern Decor, Flat-Panel Cable Tvs, Wi-Fi (For A Fee), Coffeemakers And Beds With Premium Linens."
"The 977-room Westin, with its two 34-storey waterfront towers, offers dreamy views of both Lake Ontario and the entire city. It is the quintessential urban convention resort, complete with a celebrity chef, a giant gym and the largest hotel ballroom in Canada."
"This massive swatch of green space runs along the Don River and connects many other Toronto trails and green spaces, like Don Valley Brickworks Park. The area is home to a ton of trails through varying landscapes, a honey kiln from 1800, and in numerous spots offers epic views of Toronto. This is also where you’ll find Crothers Woods, known for picturesque winding trails and popular for mountain biking."
"This restaurant is on Amelia street, so it could not be more aptly named. However, the restaurant's amiability extends far beyond the entrance. Owners and waiters learn your name quickly and don't rush you through your Northern Italian dinner."
"Now with three locations across downtown Toronto, guests can choose from games that range from trivia to strategy to dexterity. For those who are easily intimidated by games — or just can’t quite figure them out — Snakes and Lattes employs “game gurus” to help everyone get the most out of their experience. The cafe also regularly has games nights to engage hardcore gamers."
"Prefer your clubs in the company of diamonds, spades and hearts?. Then head to one of Snakes and Lattes’ three locations for a night out among thousands of games. A mere $8 per person get you unlimited play time, making it worthwhile to tuck in for an extended session of Catan or Exploding Kittens."
"17:00: Coffee and games at Snakes & Lattes This is a cool little coffee spot (with hundreds of board games) to visit in Toronto and totally worth a little trip. Now, there’s three Snakes & Lattes to choose from in the city."
"Chef Anthony Rose Jumbles, who works at popular restaurants such as Annex, now works for Fat Pasha, known for Central Asian and Jewish cuisine. First and foremost, this is a restaurant that vegetarians would love. You should book a table in advance, as it is challenging to find a table in the restaurant at any hour of the day."
"Fat Pasha, located on Dupont, is the third restaurant from chef/owner Anthony Rose. Focusing on Middle Eastern and Jewish cuisine,"
"The long sandy beach is popular with everyone from sunbathers and paddlers to dog walkers and joggers. The Martin Goodman Trail runs through Balmy Beach Park parallel to the boardwalk and beach so there's ample space for bikers, walkers and rollerbladers. Kew Balmy Beach Park is also home to bike trails, an off-leash dog area, outdoor fitness equipment, a snack bar, a playground and bowling greens."
"Kew-Balmy is located in Toronto on Queen Street E, next to Woodbine Beach. Where Woodbine is bustling, Kew-Balmy is has a more laid-back vibe. This beach is smaller than Woodbine but is perfect for getting away from busy crowds while still being in the city."
"Kew Gardens is a large park in The Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto. The park stretches from Queen Street East to Lake Ontario at Kew Beach. Kew Garden is castle themed!"
"This park is at Don River and spreads over 18 acres with tons of trees and wildlife. The playground itself is updated and there are swing sets and a fun sprinkler area as well as a fireplace, permanent barbeque, large picnic tables and nearby washrooms."
