Planning a babymoon in Toronto
Lake walks, multicultural markets, tower views that go all the way to Buffalo. For two, decide between a hotel with service and a private rental with space — Expedia lists both in Toronto, so you can weigh price, location and reviews in one search.
When the weather turns in Toronto
PATH is the answer and it is vast, roughly thirty kilometres of climate-controlled walkway tying Union Station to the financial towers and several malls, letting you cross downtown without a coat. Above ground, the ROM and the AGO are a short streetcar apart. A Wednesday evening at the AGO turns a wet night into a free one.
What to eat in Toronto
Kensington Market is the eating destination, with Caribbean patties, Chilean, Portuguese, and vegan counters packed into a few blocks of Victorian houses. The peameal bacon sandwich from Carousel Bakery inside St Lawrence Market is the local signature, and the South Market closes Mondays entirely. Gerrard Street East is the South Asian strip, and the Danforth is Greek.
What first-timers get wrong in Toronto
Fares are flat whatever the distance, and one $3.30 tap buys two hours of unlimited transfers across subway, bus, and streetcar. Streetcars are boarded at all doors on proof-of-payment, so validate. Sales tax and a 15 to 20% tip are both added after the listed price. CN Tower and Ripley's cost less bundled than bought separately.
What's actually worth your time in Toronto
CN Tower admission sits around CAD $43 for the LookOut and glass floor, with EdgeWalk priced far above it, and the queue is the real cost rather than the view. The Toronto Islands ferry delivers that same skyline from the water for a fraction of the money. Casa Loma is an Edwardian rich man's folly, and the Distillery District is Victorian brick and winter markets.
Toronto's museums, and which one to pick
The Royal Ontario Museum wears Daniel Libeskind's crystalline addition over a Victorian core and opens free on the third Tuesday of every month. The Art Gallery of Ontario, remade by Frank Gehry in the city he grew up in, is free every Wednesday evening and free at all times to anyone 25 or under, which is an unusually generous policy worth planning a visit around.
