It’s our hometown but we’ve also experienced Toronto as a tourist.
Our comprehensive guide will help you find the best places to visit in Toronto for first-time visitors and return.
Top Things to do in Toronto Ontario
Part 1: Best Toronto Tourist Attractions
1. CN Tower Edgewalk
The CN Tower is Toronto’s most iconic landmark. Built in 1975, it reigned as the world’s tallest building until 2007 when it was taken over by the Burj Khalifa in 2008.
While the CN Tower is a top Toronto Attraction unto itself, it’s the Edgwalk that makes it special.
Today it is still clinging on to the Top 10 in the 9th spot, but it is no less impressive standing at a massive 553.3 m-high (1,815.3 ft)
You can eat dinner at the revolving restaurant, walk on the glass floor, take in the 360 degree views of Toronto from inside and out, enjoy a virtual reality ride.
Location: 301 Front Street, right beside the Rogers Centre where the Blue Jays play baseball. Directions – TTC to Untion Station, then walk East on Front Street
2. Casa Loma
Toronto has a castle and this one is a beauty.
It was built in 1911 by Sir Henry Pellatt; a local financier to be used as his private residence. It was a lavish house with 98 rooms at 64,700 square feet (6,011 m2).
There are stables and a coach house and today it is a popular tourist attraction.
There is even an 800-foot tunnel leading to the stables.
You can tour the many suites, the garden, and the grounds, there’s dining including fine dining at the BlueBlood Steamhouse, a casual restaurant at the Terrace Grill and coffee and snacks at Liberty Café.

3. Ontario Science Centre
Located north of the city, the Ontario Science Centre has been a favourite for decades. There are great hands-on science exhibits and spectacular displays.
Walking through the Living Earth exhibits seriously feels like you are walking through a real rainforest.
It has Toronto’s only Planetarium and there is an OMNIMAX Theatre showing new films regularly.
Location: 770 Don Mills Road North York: Take the Subway Line 2 to Pape Station, transfer to Bus 25 North to Don Mills at St. Dennis. Or take an Uber, or ride a bike!
4. Hockey Hall of Fame
Canada loves its hockey and you can celebrate everything hockey at the Hockey Hall of Fame located at the foot of Yonge and Front Street.
It houses the Stanley Cup and it’s on display when it’s not touring the country.
It also houses the world’s largest collection of hockey memorabilia, there are interactive displays and two theatres.
IF you are a sports fan and looking for what to do in Toronto then this should be at the top of your list.
Location: 30 Yonge Street – Subway Line 1 to King Station.
5. Ontario Place
I am so glad that they re-opened Ontario Place at Toronto’s Waterfront. Located at the CNE Grounds on the Lakeshore, it’s an excellent place to spend an afternoon.
It has one of the best outdoor festival stages in Toronto at Budweiser Stage attracting big names performing in an intimate setting (We’ve seen Aerosmith and the Killers here and it was awesome!) And there’s an IMAX theatre.
Enjoy the excellent trail for cycling or rollerblading that goes around 7.5 acres of green space. It is transforming every year and you never know what will be new with each season.
Location: 955 Lakeshore West BLVD – Take the 514 Streetcar out to Dufferin Gate Loop. Or ride a bike along the waterfront trail.
Part 2: Best Toronto Museums
When planning your Toronto sightseeing excursions you must include museums in your Itinerary.
6. Royal Ontario Museum
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is Canada’s largest museum and one of the top 10 cultural institutions in North America.
Located at the corner of University and Bloor, this impressive museum melds old and new. The contemporary design is a beautiful addition.
It was added to the original building creating a stunning work of art.
It is fitting for a building that houses 13 million artifacts and artwork featured in 40 different exhibition spaces and galleries.

With new life comes new exhibitions and the AGO attracts some of the top exhibits on earth.

It also has a lovely cafe where locals like to meet for a drink or coffee.
Its no wonder this is one of the best places to visit in Ontario.
Location: 317 Dundas Street West – Line 1 Subway to St. Patrick Station
8. Fort York
It’s a fort in the middle of the city. Before Toronto became the mega city that it is, it was once called York. And this fort stood on the shores of Lake Ontario to protect the city during the War of 1812.
This National Historic Site is open year-round offering guided tours, demonstrations, and exhibits. You’ll have fun interacting and learning about history.
Location: 250 Fort York Blvd. Streetcar 511 or 505 or 509 Street Car

This is one of the most unique museums we’ve experienced with displays of footwear through history. But you’ll also get to see celebrity footwear like Elton John’s platform boots and Elvis’ Blue Suede Shoes.
Canadian legend Terry Fox’s running shoe is on display from when he attempted to run across the country for cancer research after losing his leg to cancer. He eventually succumbed to the disease, but he is a true Canadian hero.

It is North America’s first museum dedicated to Islamic Art and was started by the private collection of the late Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan who had been collecting since the 1950s.
The museum houses 1000 objects dating back 10 centuries housed in an impressive eye-catching building.

It’s a good museum to visit in conjunction with the Ontario Science Centre as they are in the same area of town.
Part 3: Interesting Places to Visit in Toronto
11. City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square
It’s a gathering spot for tours and meetups. It probably attracts the most visitors to Toronto due to the iconic City Hall Building. It is a popular spot for events, art displays, and celebrations.
It’s Toronto’s Times Square as this is where we celebrate New Year’s Eve and the fountain turns into a skating rink during the winter months.
Location: 100 Queen Street West – Subway Line 1 to Queen Street.
Take a walking tour of Toronto to see all the major sites with Get Your Guide.
12. Graffiti Alley
Graffiti Alley is picking up steam with the popularity of Instagram.
Located at Queen and Bathurst offers 1 km of walls covered in Graffiti along Rush Lane. Canadian commentator Rick Mercer shot his Rants along Graffiti Alley over the course of his 15-year show.
Location: South of Queenstreet Between Spadina and Bathurst.
Toronto Tour Guys offer Toronto Graffiti Tours.
13. Harbourfront
Harbourfront has come a long way since we lived there in the 90s. It is now an amazing entertainment area complete with theatres, museums, music venues, and festivals.
There are plenty of dining options at Harbourfront and it is an excellent place to stroll along Toronto’s waterfront, do some shopping in the Harbourfront Centre and take some artisan workshops.
Location: Located on Queens Quay – Take the subway to Union Station and Walk South to the water. Or take the Spadina Streetcar all the way to Harbourfront.
14. Chinatown
One of Toronto’s most vibrant neighbourhoods in the downtown Chinatown located on Spadina Avenue. Pick up your favourite Asian vegetables for authentic cooking, eat incredible Chinese food and ask for a pot of tea after hours (you’ll get a pot of beer if you know where to go!)
You really fell as if you have stepped into little China with the sounds, smells and taste of Asia engulfing the senses at every turn. If you travel a lot, this is a great place to get that dose of Asia you’ve been missing.
Located along Spadina Avenue between Queen and College
Take a walking tour of China Town and Kensington Market.
15. Toronto Underground City
It’s true, Toronto has an entire subterranean world under the city known as The Path.
Starting at Yonge and Dundas Square it weaves through 30km of the downtown core all the way to Union Station.
More than 200k daily visitors and commuters walk the path filled with restaurants, shopping, cafés connecting 75 skyscrapers, subway stations, department stores and hotels.
When it’s cold outside in the winter it’s a great place to wander and when the summer months get too hot, it’s a nice escape from the heat.
Located: in the downtown core. Just walk into any building and look for the Path sign. Visit Path.com for maps
16. Yonge and Dundas Square
It’s Toronto’s version of Times Square.
This popular public square in the heart of Downtown always has something exciting going on. Surrounded by billboards, shopping, movie theatres and City TV, it’s a happening spot.
There are always outdoor performances, festivals and even free movies in the summertime.
Location: At the intersection of Yonge and Dundas Street. Take Subway Line 1 to Dundas Station.
17. Entertainment District
The Entertainment district is a great place to make a base while exploring the top Toronto Attractions.
Close to Union Station, it is easy to get to and it is where Toronto’s main nightlife venues can be found. With cocktail lounges and chic bars, this is one of Toronto’s most happening places.
No public vehicles are allowed on King Street West in the heart of the district, so it’s a great place to walk from Spadina to University to do some bar hopping.
Here you’ll also find Steam Whistle Brewery, Toronto’s top theatres and it is home to TIFF. (The Toronto International Film Festival)
Part 4: Toronto – Things to do Outdoors
18. Distillery District
The Distillery District was once home to Gooderham and Worts alcohol distillery, making it the perfect place to convert into one of the city’s top entertainment districts.
Stroll through the pedestrian walkways along cobblestone streets as you browse the many boutiques and art galleries. I love the historic artifacts that are on display throughout the complex.
In the summer the streets come alive with outdoor street performers, music and stage performances.
In the winter, the Christmas Markets are in full swing. There are plenty of places to eat and there are some bars and microbreweries to wet the taste buds.
Location: Located on Mill Street between Parliament and Cherry Street.
A Segway tour of the Distillery is a fun way to get around and learn of its history.
19. High Park
Located in the West End, the city’s largest park attracts visitors from afar during cherry blossom season, but there is a lot more to high park.
Visit the High Park Zoo housing domestic animals like bison, highland cattle, and llamas. It’s a great park for hiking and cycling and in the summer Shakespeare in the Park begins with live performances from the Bard.
There’s Grenadier Pond, the Historic Colborne Lodge and it is a short walk down to the Lake Shore to enjoy the Toronto Waterfront.
Location: Take Subway Line 2 West to Keele or High Park Station.
20. Evergreen Brickworks
The newest outdoor market destination is the Evergreen Brickworks located in the Don Valley.
With outdoor markets, art exhibits and cafés, it’s a fantastic place to spend a couple of hours.
Rent a bike from one of the city’s bike share locations and peddle out to the quiet district to grab some fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmers market.
Location: 550 Bayview Avenue. It’s tricky to get to an cycling or a car is the best way. By transit, take Subaway line 1 north to Davisville and then bus #28 to the Brickworks.
21. Toronto Islands
You must go to the islands for an incredible view of Toronto but there is a lot to see out here too!
There is stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and cycling. You can visit the beaches of the island including Toronto’s famous Nude Beach.
Kids will love playing at one of Toronto’s cutest amusement parks.
We always enjoy a picnic on the islands and there’s even a small amusement park. The islands are a perfect getaway from the city.
Location: Take the ferry from Queen’s Quay.
22. The Beaches
The Beaches have long been a favourite tourist attraction of Toronto.
It is a place where time stands still boutique shops, bakeries, indie shops and bistros line the busy street. The Beaches are exactly what you would expect from its name.
Starting at Ashbridges Bay, you’ll find beach volleyball, boardwalks, and parks stretching along Lake Ontario through Kew Beach along the 3km trail leading to the R.C. Harris Filtration Plant.
Traffic is a killer in the summer, so use a bicycle to get around. Buy an ice cream cone and walk the streets stopping in to listen to music or visit the farmers market. The Beaches Jazz festival takes place during the month of July.
Location: Toronto East -Take the Queen Streetcar.
23. Riverdale Farm
You heard me correctly, there is a farm in the middle of Toronto. Located in the East End of downtown Toronto, this is an actual working farm that allows visitors.
Its 7.5 acres contain vegetable gardens, farm animals, and a farmhouse and barns. It’s a great representation of rural Ontario farming community and a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Location: 201 Winchester Street – Line 1 to College Subway Station transfer to 504 Eastbound bus.
24. Toronto Bike Trails
Toronto has some excellent bike trails away from the city traffic. You can use the bike share program to cycle around the city, or you can rent some bike.
How about taking a tour with a guide to see some of Toronto’s best attractions.
Some of the best cycling trails are the Waterfront Trail, Leslie Spit Trail, The Don Valley Bike Path, Key Garden Belt Line, Taylor Creek Park and High Park.

The Humber River empties into Lake Ontario.
29. Harbourfront Cruise
Getting out on the water any way you can is an adventure and if kayaking, SUP or Canoeing isn’t your thing, head down to the Harbourfront Centre and book a sunset harbour cruise.

Traveling to Toronto is an impressive thing for people.
trang ?i?m cô dâu says
As a Torontonian, great piece. One little thing…. that picture of Toronto Islands, is not the islands. That’s the Leslie Street Spit that curls out into the lake near the islands. Not many activities on the spit, but you can reach it from land, no ferry required. Take a bike, it goes out there a long way. Great spot for birders too.
Ngoc Nguyen says
Toronto is very famous for activities, art, landscapes and the friendliness of people.

I Love the city of Toronto. I remember taking the train from Ottawa into Toronto a few Summers ago. Real efficient rail system. The city was very clean and the people were so friendly.

Hello Dave,
It’s the best thing to do experiencing your hometown as a tourist, did it myself two years ago when in Paris, to be honest, I did discover a lot of places that I wasn’t aware they exist at all, some secret places and streets. I don’t really like Hop and Hop buses, but will definitely try one when in Toronto.
Thank you for the tips.
