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. As you stroll, look beneath your feet to see the whos who of entertainment immortalized with their own stars in the sidewalk that makes up Canadas Walk of Fame. torontoed.com
Late night dinner and drinks in the Entertainment District
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

Eclectic storefronts in Kensington Market
Kensington Market The world comes together here. Often ranked as one of the best street markets in North America, this dense cultural labyrinth of narrow streets houses a mix of Caribbean, Latin American, European and Middle Eastern shops and restaurants. Peppered within are second-hand/ vintage clothing stores, fishmongers, street musicians and cafs. This is the place to pick up everything from your favourite bands from the 70s on vinyl to exotic produce and artisan cheese. kensington-market.ca Church-Wellesley/The Gay Village Within the downtown core, this neighbourhood is the gathering place for the citys LGBQT community (Canadas largest), but everyone is always welcome to visit its lively offerings of restaurants, shops, coffee hangouts and clubs. Every summer, its also action central with the arrival of Pride Week celebrations, a popular city-wide event that is capped by the highly attended Pride Parade. churchwellesleyvillage.ca
Old Town Toronto The city began in this neighbourhood, once home to the first parliament and ports. Nibble your way through St. Lawrence Market, often rated as one of the top markets in the world, or browse through the north market on a Sunday in search of an antique treasure. The well preserved Victorian architecture serves as a great background for vacation photos. Sit and watch the black squirrels scurrying around St. James Park, once youve had your fill of shopping, theatres, galleries and restaurants in the area. oldtowntoronto.ca
