Toronto Walking Tour
Toronto, Canada
Why Walk Toronto
Toronto's strength lies in its neighborhoods, each one a world unto itself. Kensington Market is a bohemian maze of vintage shops, international food stalls, and colorful Victorian houses. Chinatown sprawls along Spadina Avenue with dim sum halls and herbal shops. The Distillery District, a restored Victorian industrial complex, houses galleries, boutiques, and cafes in beautiful red-brick buildings. The PATH underground pedestrian network stretches over 30 kilometers beneath the downtown core, connecting shops, restaurants, and transit stations. Queen Street West offers indie fashion and street art, while the St. Lawrence Market has been a food lover's destination since 1803. The Toronto Islands provide a car-free escape with skyline views just a short ferry ride from the Harbourfront.
