The Neighbourhoods of Greater Toronto


Yorkville

Torontos neighbourhoods are the heart of the city. They pulse with life and each has a personality all of its own. A visit isnt complete without exploring this matrix of culturally diverse regions that make Toronto the vibrant, eclectic destination that it is. From century-old enclaves to the newest and most recently rejuvenated, there is always something fresh to discover just around the corner.
Bloor-Yorkville This well-loved shopping area has grown up and flourished since its days as a hippie hangout in the 1960s. Today, Bloor-Yorkville is home to Torontos Mink Mile featuring top international names like Tiffany, Gucci, Cartier and Prada alongside the best of Canada at Holt Renfrew, Harry Rosen and Roots. Yorkvilles bustling streets and cobbled lanes house designer boutiques, luxury hotels, galleries and fine dining, all surrounding one of the citys top gathering spots at Village of Yorkville Park. bloor-yorkville.com The Entertainment District By night, this downtown hub packs in plenty of the citys hippest restaurants, theatres, bars and nightclubs. During the day, its just as lively with popular attractions such as the CN Tower, Rogers Centre and the new TIFF Bell Lightbox, home to the Toronto International Film Festival.

heart of the city


Downtown Yonge Theres plenty of fun to be had in the Yonge and Dundas area. Its a prime spot for peoplewatching, catching a movie, dining and, of course, shopping at the landmark Toronto Eaton Centre, one of the most visited attractions in the city. Across the street, Yonge-Dundas Square serves as a dynamic venue for concerts, events, community celebrations and cappuccino sipping, too. On balmy days, its a blast to watch kids run through the numerous fountains dotted throughout the square. downtownyonge.com Queen West Welcome to funky town and the centre of all things cool and trendsetting. Somehow, the mix of textile stores, tattoo parlors, chic boutiques, loft spaces, vintage stores and bars is a harmonious one, creating a real neighbourhood where people actually live and play. A new crop of chic watering holes, spas and indie fashion outlets stocking mostly Canadian designers are the latest additions to this wildly eclectic downtown hub. westqueenwest.ca; queenstwestbia.ca

Relaxing on Sugar Beach

The Waterfront In a city perched on Lake Ontario, its not surprising that so much happens along the waters edge. There are festivals aplenty (celebrating everything from local authors to spicy food) at Harbourfront Centre, and a thriving art scene, thanks to contemporary art venues such as The Power Plant. Catch a ferry to the Toronto Islands nearby, or stick to the mainland where you can relax at HTO Park or the Toronto Music Garden (designed by Yo-Yo Ma), or dip your toes in the sand at Sugar Beach (complete with lounge chairs and pink umbrellas). waterfrontbia.com
