Frommer's Favorite Experiences

  • Exploring the Distillery District: Not only is this recently restored area a gorgeous example of 19th-century industrial architecture, but it's also a hive of activity. In addition to the art galleries, shops, and restaurants, you can hear live music or visit the farmers' market.

  • Taking in the Art Galleries and Boutiques on West Queen West: The stretch of Queen that runs west of Bathurst Avenue is known as the Art & Design District, with good reason. This is the home of the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art and the place to visit for cutting-edge style.

  • Checking Out Local Theater and Music: Sure, Toronto likes its blockbuster shows. However, the offerings from the CanStage, Soulpepper, Opera Atelier, Tafelmusik, and the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People are innovative and consistently excellent, too. And seeing the Canadian Opera Company onstage at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts is breathtaking.

  • Cafe Hopping at Trattorias in Little Italy: Trendy, yes, but it's also a fun area for stopping by the many cafes and wine bars and for dining on outstanding food.

  • Viewing the City from the Roof Bar at the Park Hyatt: Unfortunately, the famous CN Tower gives you a better view of Niagara Falls than it does of Toronto itself. To truly appreciate the city's dramatic architecture, there's no better spot than the Roof.
