Are you looking for some stuff to do in Toronto, Canada? Follow me on this 4-day itinerary to discover Toronto’s must-sees in true Torontonian style.

Day 1: Explore downtown Toronto

There’s no better way to start your Toronto adventure than by exploring the heart of the city! Take a stroll through the lively Yonge-Dundas Square area, Toronto’s Times Square (cheap Time Square tbh with you), where you’ll find plenty of stores and restaurants. If you like shopping, don’t hesitate to visit the Eaton Centre, a huge shopping mall right in the heart of the city. Here you’ll find all the major Canadian clothing chains.

Next, head down Yonge Street to the Financial District. Easily recognizable by the skyscrapers of some of Canada’s largest corporations, this district will make you feel very small indeed.

Continue your visit to Old Toronto. Admire the famous Gooderham Building before losing yourself in the halls of the St Lawrence Market.

Continue to the Distillery District, a charming neighbourhood full of boutiques, art galleries and trendy restaurants. If you like Mexican cuisine, I recommend a stop at El Catrin.

Finally, to round off your day in style, don’t miss a visit to the CN Tower, the city’s landmark. Climb to the top to enjoy a panoramic view at sunset – a romantic atmosphere guaranteed! As mentioned in this article about things to do in Toronto, given the price of the ticket just to climb to the top of the CN Tower, I strongly recommend that you eat there to get the most out of it.

Day 2: Discover Toronto’s picturesque neighbourhoods

Today, discover Toronto’s picturesque neighbourhoods. Start in Yorkville, known for its luxury boutiques and art galleries. Stop for a coffee in one of the many trendy cafés.

Next, head to the bohemian, multicultural Kensington Market. You’ll find local produce, vintage clothing and a host of ethnic restaurants. Looking for brunch? Stop off at Pera Café.

Just a stone’s throw from Kensington Market, head to Spadina Avenue, where you’ll feel like you’ve been teleported to China. Welcome to Chinatown! Stroll the lively streets and discover authentic Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine.

Round off your day at High Park, Toronto’s largest park, where you can bike, picnic, play UNO and enjoy the great outdoors.

Day 3: Immerse yourself in Toronto culture

Today, devote your day to Toronto’s culture. Start by visiting the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), one of Canada’s largest museums, housing collections of art, culture and natural history. You can buy a ticket online, which will give you access to the museum and the current exhibition.

Next, head to the Art Gallery of Ontario, where you can admire works of art from around the world. A fan of books? Visit the Toronto Public Library, one of the world’s largest urban libraries.

Round off your cultural day with a show at Roy Thomson Hall. Or, if you’re a sports fan, soak up the Canadian atmosphere at a game! From October to April, you can attend a field hockey and/or basketball game. From late February to September, it’s baseball.

Day 4: Relax and enjoy nature

On your last day in Toronto, take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and explore the nature Toronto has to offer. Start your day by heading to Toronto Islands, a group of islands located a 10-minute ferry ride from Toronto’s coast. Rent a bike or simply take a stroll to enjoy the beaches, vast green spaces and panoramic views of the Toronto skyline.

Between us, my favourite stuff to do in Toronto, Canada, is to take a bottle of wine, some food, some friends, and a game of UNO, and enjoy the sunset from the Toronto islands.

Once you’re back on the mainland, you can take a stroll through Harbourfront, the neighbourhood along Lake Ontario.

End your day at Riverdale Park, where you can watch the sunset behind the Toronto skyline (also veryyyy romantic!).

Bonus day: Visit Niagara Falls

Located 1.5 hours from Toronto, Niagara Falls is a must-see if you haven’t seen it yet. I invite you to read this article where I detail how to get to Niagara Falls, as well as the activities you can do there.
