An Outing on Lake Ontario

If get tired of the city hubbub, just a short walk from the city center you will find a group of small islands (collectively known as Toronto Islands) where you can relax and enjoy the city view.

Further down the lake coast, there’s also the Humber Bay Park where you can find a yacht club in case you want to go sailing.

For people who enjoy outdoor activities, Toronto’s suburbs of Brampton and Mississauga offer a number of festivals and events that let you explore the natural scenery. Concerts, festivals, and sports events are organized on a regular basis so you’ll have plenty of options to spend your time in the best way possible.

Try Out the Coffee

Toronto has plenty to offer to all of you coffee drinkers out there. The city is famous for boasting a large number of coffee shops for everyone’s taste. You can find coffee shops on almost every corner in the city and it will be hard to choose, as many of these are amazing and unique.

Drinking coffee can be a pastime, as well a chance to socialize and experience the cultural vibe of Canada’s biggest city. If you prefer to enjoy coffee from the comfort of your own home, the best way to do so is to get a coffee roasting machine. Finding the right roaster may not be an easy task, however, so make sure you check out coffee roasters where you can find a wide range of coffee products at affordable prices.

Visit the Museums and Galleries

No visit to Toronto can be considered complete if you don’t visit the city’s numerous art galleries and museums. Toronto’s museums are among the most visited in Canada and North America so don’t miss out while you’re on your getaway.

Here are the museums and galleries we recommend you visit while staying in Toronto:

  • Royal Ontario Museum – probably the most important and best-known museum in Toronto, it houses a vast and diverse collection.
  • Casa Loma – this Gothic revival castle was built as a mansion in 1911 but was then converted to a museum twenty years later.
  • Hockey Hall of Fame – ice hockey is considered the national sport of Canada, so it’s no wonder there’s a whole museum dedicated to the history of the sport. If you’re a fan of the sport, visiting is a must.

 

 

 

Of course, if you bother going to Toronto on vacation, you need to take the time to head over and see Niagra Falls! It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my life and it would be a shame to miss such a beautiful sight while you’re in the area.
