"St. Lawrence Market is perhaps the most famous market in Toronto, and locals regularly shop its stalls for produce, meats, cheeses, and more. While the focus of your trip should be browsing the dozens of food stalls, it’s interesting to take a look at the architecture of the St. Lawrence Market, too. Though the current main building was erected in 1902, part of the Old City Hall, which dates to 1845, was incorporated into it."

"Start your Toronto visit in the downtown core at Nathan Phillips Square. This public space is a popular gathering place for Torontonians.

It would even be cute in the snow and make for some unique shots, if you’re looking for Toronto winter photo spots!"

"It is somehow is super relaxing and quiet while also being in the middle of a bustling waterfront.

But the park has risen above this historical stain to become a summer scene unto itself, one thrumming with life and embracing a local community vibe. The park has plenty of benches for a picnic and a craft beer (I think you get Toronto’s park vibe at this point), and if you can manage it, checking out a free movie in Christie Pits is a quintessential Toronto summer experience."

"Covering an area of about 22 acres, Christie Pits is centrally located at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Christie Avenue.

"Back in the early 1900s, this park was once a huge sand pit. As the city grew around it, the commercial operations ceased, and a park was created. Today it's one of Toronto's favorite parks due to the sheer number of things to do spread across its nearly nine-hectare space."
