Top things to do in downtown Toronto
Taste the food at St. Lawrence Market
St. Lawrence Market is one of Toronto's most popular tourist destinations, and is even a favourite haunt for many locals.
It's Toronto's oldest market and home to all sorts of food shops and vendors.
Grab some authentic Montreal bagels from St. Urbain Bagel, then enjoy some authentic perogies from European Delight!
You can either grab tickets for a guided group food tasting tour around Marché Saint-Laurent, or you can wander around and explore on your own.
LOCATION: 93 Front Street East, Toronto, ON
Stroll through the Distillery District
The Distillery District is a designated World Heritage Site, and it's also one of Toronto's cutest neighbourhoods.
It's a historic pedestrian-only neighbourhood packed with restaurants, boutiques, art galleries and much more to explore!
I have blog posts about things to do in the Distillery District and the best restaurants in the Distillery District.
If you want to take guided tours to learn more about the history of the Distillery District, you can also enjoy a guided walking tour or a 30 minute Segway Tour!

Explore Kensington Market
Kensington Market is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Toronto - there are so many cool shops and amazing restaurants!
Many different ethnic groups have lived here over the decades, which is why you'll see so many different ethnic shops in the area!
Discover the best things to do in Kensington Market, the best vintage shops in Kensington Market or the best cafes in Kensington Market.
If you're looking for some fun tours in the area, I highly recommend checking out this Canadian Food Tour at Kensington Market, or ca 2 hour walking tour of Kensington Market and Chinatown.

Take photos at Graffiti Alley
Graffiti Alley isn't an official tourist spot in Toronto, but it's heavily populated by tourists and locals alike.
It's essentially an alley full of colourful murals and graffiti, and it makes for some epic photos!
I love coming back here from time to time to discover new pieces that might have appeared!
I also have a blog post on cool Toronto murals to check out if you're looking for more.
LOCATION: Rush Lane (between Portland Street and Spadina Avenue), Toronto, ON
Discover art at the Art Gallery of Ontario
I think the AGO is one of those places you can go to a million times without getting bored (maybe unless you're an OCAD student).
The top floor is my favourite because the exhibitions are constantly changing!
The Yayoi Kusama exhibition is also pretty epic to see in person.
You can get a free AGO pass if you're 25 and under, which gives you access to the exhibitions all year round.

LOCATION: 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON
Stroll through the Royal Ontario Museum
The ROM is the largest museum in all of Canada, as well as one of the largest in North America.
You can spend a whole day wandering around the entire museum, or just spend a few hours if you're making a quick trip to Toronto!
The dinosaur exhibit is one of the best exhibits to see at the museum, and there are also special exhibits from time to time.
LOCATION: 100 Queens Park, Toronto, Ontario
Watch a Toronto Blue Jays Game
The Toronto Blue Jays start their season every spring, and they have games throughout the summer.
What I love about Jays games is that they're actually affordable, so even non-sports fans (like me lol) are willing to go out and watch a game.
It's always super fun when the roof is off, but if it's raining or dark, the roof will be closed!
LOCATION: Rogers Centre, Toronto, ON
Visit Ripley's Aquarium
Ripley's Aquarium is one of the most fun places to visit in Toronto.
I've been several times since they opened, and I always have a great time exploring and discovering things I never noticed before.
The jellyfish room is my favourite place in the whole aquarium!
LOCATION: 288 Bremner Boulevard, Toronto, ON
Ride the EdgeWalk at the CN Tower
I've been to the CN Tower many times in my life, but I never tried the EdgeWalk until a few years ago.
Basically, you can swing off the edge of the CN Tower, and it's an exciting experience.
You can also go to the top of the CN Tower for free with your EdgeWalk ticket, which is pretty cool.
LOCATION: 290 Bremner Boulevard, Toronto, ON
Stroll the Toronto Islands
The Toronto Islands are a nice little escape from the city, without actually leaving the city.
There are lots of fun things to do on the Toronto Islands, and you can spend a whole day exploring the different islands!
Go stand-up paddling (one of the best water activities in Toronto), swimming (at the nudist beach) or just relax and have a picnic on the beach.
If you're interested in a guided tour, you can also take a fun 3.5-hour Toronto Islands Bike Tour, where you can explore the islands and discover the island's 200-year history.
It also includes your ferry tickets, bike and helmet, as well as water and snacks, making life easy!
