Must See Sights and Landmarks in Vaughan Area

"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 is easily recognized by the gigantic Freedom Arches over the reflecting pool and the 3D TORONTO sign. Together with City Hall, they make an iconic landmark in the city worth visiting."

"Pull on some skates and go ice skating at Nathan Phillips Square. If you’re not an ice skater, hang around the square to lap up the winter wonderland atmosphere while you watch the skaters glide across the ice."

Spend a sunny day exploring the colourful alleyways, where every nook houses unique, and playful designs that are definitely worthy of an Instagram post."

"If you think that graffiti is nothing but people just spraypainting crude illustrations, you need to take a trip to Graffiti Alley. This is one of the best parts of Toronto, Canada. It shows how much skill is required for making street art that really pops."

"Possibly the most popular place to check out street art in Toronto (and there are many), this back alley has a magnificent collection of colorful murals and street art. Spanning three blocks (about 400m), the... Top ChoicePark in West End"

"A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it doorway just steps away from the entrance to Bay Station reveals the long narrow interior of Toronto’s critically acclaimed Brothers Food & Wine. The restaurant’s deceptively non-descript exterior belies the exceptional culinary experience within. An intimate smattering of communal tables and bar seating gives Brothers a relaxed, convivial energy that can make you feel as though the city around you has disappeared, save for the soft rumblings of the Bloor subway line below."

"Blink and you might miss this intimate, excellent little restaurant, located near an entrance of Bay subway station, which doesn’t currently have a website. The small menu changes daily, but generally features seasonal takes on comforting, rustic ingredients like sweetbreads, pea greens, and lamb shoulder."

"Expect an intimate dining experience at this tiny restaurant tucked away beside Bay Subway Station. The atmosphere, wine list and line-up of Mediterranean-style dishes are sure to melt hearts. Address: 1240 Bay Street, TorontoPhone: 416-804-6066"

"The restaurant is quiet about it, but the food here is entirely vegan. Rather than trumpet the politics of its choice, the kitchen modestly prepares food without animal products, surprising the palate with foraged moss, obscure grains, seaweed-extracted umami, and fermented vegetables. The menu also boasts wood-fired flatbreads, fancy mushrooms, and soup so creamy that it’s hard to believe it’s not made with butter."

"This vegan establishment has made a name for itself largely due to its team of creative, innovative chefs. Using their respective backgrounds, this group of restaurateurs is cooking up some of the most exciting vegan fare in the city. Expect dishes like artichoke barigoule ravioli and seedling salad with za’atar; porcini mushroom and cauliflower soup; and charcoal gnocchi."

"Next we have the quaint Beverly Rooftop which features Mexican eats on a small rooftop.

This spot has a nice ambiance with a nice view of the CN Tower, despite its small size."

"Located on the southeastern shore of Toronto Island Park away from major park facilities and activity areas, this is one of the quietest beaches on the Island. Ward's Beach is sheltered a bit by the Leslie Split, so its calm water is ideal for swimming. There is usually enough wind here for kites and wind boards, though."

"Although not a certified eco-friendly beach, water levels at Sunnyside Beach near Lakeshore Boulevard are tested daily so you will know if it’s safe to swim here and if the water meets provincially established safety standards. It’s typically not too busy here, which makes it a grandiose destination. If you go exploring, you will likely notice cyclists and rollerbladers zooming along the nearby Martin Goodman Trail, which is part of the Waterfront Trail System."

"Check the water report before you decide to swim at Sunnyside (it can be iffy at times), but if you want a sparse area to spread out, this may be the beach for you. Sunnyside doesn’t get as packed as other beaches in the area and is great for reading a book, listening to the water, or taking a beach nap."

"One of the first things you notice about Sunnyside Beach is the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion which was built in 1922 with art deco features. The beautiful pavilion sets the stage for a beach trip with a nostalgic vibe. The beach is rarely crowded despite its downtown location, making it a nice getaway."
