Toronto is a city of neighbourhoods. No matter where you live, or where you’re planning on buying a home, getting to know all of the hidden secrets of each of these neighbourhoods is a bonus. Find the best local coffee shop, book store or gelato dispensary. Learn about the nearby park bench and why it’s the best people watching spot in town, or how lucky you are to live near the restaurant that offers the best dim sum in the city that’s perfect for Sunday brunch.
Get to know your neighbourhood a bit better. Take advantage of Toronto's guided walking tours.
Toronto has several different tours that are off the beaten path:
Art and architecture: Every Saturday, tour the city’s art and design district with local art writer Betty Ann Jordan of Toronto Life, the Globe and Mail, the National Post, Canadian House & Home, Canadian Art and pretty much any other worthwhile publication. Meet the artists and gallery owners along the way as she takes you down West Queen West.
Relics of Toronto past: Local historian Bruce Bell offers walking tours through notable Toronto buildings like St. James Cathedral, St. Lawrence Market and King Edward Hall. According to the Toronto Star, Bruce Bell is, “The most entertaining historian you’ve ever met, is an engaging story teller who knows more about the history of Toronto than possibly anyone.”
Toronto hotspots: Did you know Toronto is home to the first Hard Rock Cafe in all of North America? The Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area has trained guides that will take visitors down to Maple Leaf Gardens, Massy Hall and that famous Hard Rock Cafe in 9 different languages.
