Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Oshawa

"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."

"If you want to take pictures in a place that shows the more classic side of Toronto, pay a visit to St. Lawrence Market. Its stone archways, limestone structures and floral displays are definitely an excellent backdrop for a stylish city shoot. It’s a great place to take pictures for your photography portfolio, modelling gigs or engagement."

"Old York's sensational St Lawrence Market has been a neighborhood meeting place for over two centuries. The restored, high-trussed 1845 South Market houses more than 120 specialty food stalls and shops: cheese... Top ChoiceTower in Entertainment & Financial Districts"

"Toronto’s City Hall is the main draw here but the revitalization that’s been going on has locals coming back. Just above all the concrete, the City Hall podium roof has turned into a public garden offering solace from the politics below. The permanent theatre stage has live performances during many of the festivals held here and don’t forget to check out the Peace Garden which has relocated to the west side of the square."

"The fore court of the Toronto city hall, with an area of 12 acres is the Canada’s largest city square designed by the Finnish architect Viljo Revell open to the public in 1965, an icon of modernist architecture along with the city hall. Place for art installations, several festivals during the year, ice skating on the square reflecting pool during the winter and a vibrant space in Toronto and worth visiting."

"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."

"Fugo Desserts is a tiny dessert shop located on Dundas Street West near University Avenue. The popular sweet shop specializes in serving creative ice cream cones, gourmet mini donuts and specialty coffee and tea. Fugo owners Jethro Kwan and Jie Dai offer playful Asian-inspired ice cream that is both scoopable and soft serve."

"Enjoy the pink umbrellas in all their cuteness at Sugar Beach. It’s definitely prettier (and warmer lolz) during the spring and summer, but you can come here all year-round if you want to. It would even be cute in the snow and make for some unique shots, if you’re looking for Toronto winter photo spots!"

"Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, you can’t swim at Sugar Beach, but it’s a great spot to spend the day relaxing outside. With pink umbrellas and white wooden chairs, Sugar Beach has a whole vibe that simply screams summertime!"

"The Distillery District was also very nice for shopping and restaurants, but overall a bit more touristy than the other neighbourhoods. I went on a street art tour around Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue with Daniel from Tourguys, who explained everything from the key players of street art in the city to the legal situation of graffiti in Toronto. He took me to back alleys and lanes, pointed out street art that is well hidden in the busy city landscape and told me the stories behind the artpieces. I can only recommend doing this tour!"

"After feeding your belly, visit the Distillery District that is just 2 blocks over. This lively area is a National Historic Site and a hot spot for those looking for boutiques, galleries, and restaurants!. Walking around the Victorian industrial buildings, you will feel like you’ve stepped back in time. While you are there, grab a cup of joe at the popular Balzac’s Coffee Roasters."

"While not technically outdoors, the Allan Gardens Conservatory delivers a whiff of nature any time of year: even if it's 10 degrees below freezing. Founded in 1858, the 16,000-square-foot greenhouse inside Allan Gardens park is home to hundreds of plants from around the globe, including tropical orchids, palms, banana trees, and jade vine. There are benches where you can pass an afternoon with a book, or you can opt for a paid tour to learn more about flora you likely won’t find in the wild anywhere in Canada."

"Allan Gardens is among Toronto's major tourist attractions and is one of its oldest parks. George Allan, who was a prominent politician and cultural leader, donated this five-acre parcel of land to the city in 1858. One of the most beautiful flower conservatorieswas built in the middle of the park and today attracts crowds with its vast collection of exotic plants and popular annual flower shows."

Scour the racks for some fashion-forward accessories at bargain prices in Winners before browsing Suzy Shier for a pretty, casual ensemble. Stroll over to Aldo and Call It Spring to look through their innovative shoewear and handbags."
