🇨🇦 1 Day in Toronto: The Perfect City Highlights Itinerary

#hellohalloween
☀️ Morning – Skyline Views & Waterfront Walks

CN Tower – Start your Toronto adventure with its most iconic landmark! Go early for shorter lines and panoramic views of the city and Lake Ontario.
I skipped that, because the view from top is not 10/10, but still worths visiting if you like the view decks. I enjoyed the view of CN Tower from the outside 🙂

Harbourfront Walk – Enjoy a peaceful stroll by the lake. Grab a coffee at Boxcar Social or Balzac’s while soaking in the skyline views.

🍽️ Late Morning – Markets & History

St. Lawrence Market – One of the city’s best spots for local food. Try pastries, smoothies, or international treats from friendly vendors.

Wander over to the Distillery District — charming cobblestone streets, indie shops, and art galleries with a European vibe.

🎓 Early Afternoon – Culture & Architecture

Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) — explore natural history and world cultures.
💡Tip: ROM currently runs a Free Main Floor program giving free access to its first-floor galleries (advance ticket may be required during the program).

Head to the University of Toronto (St. George Campus) — a stunning mix of Gothic-style buildings and peaceful courtyards. It’s one of the most beautiful university campuses in Canada and feels straight out of a movie set. 🎬

Don’t miss Convocation Hall and Hart House — both photogenic and full of character.

🏰 Late Afternoon – A Castle in the City

Walk or take the subway to Casa Loma, Toronto’s real-life castle. Explore elegant rooms, towers, and secret tunnels.

🎃 In October, the Halloween decorations outside are spectacular — glowing pumpkins, spooky lights, and skeletons around the castle grounds!

🌇 Evening – City Lights & Food

Wrap up at Yonge-Dundas Square, Toronto’s version of Times Square — bright lights, live music, and endless people-watching.

Dinner in the Entertainment District — try Pai (amazing Thai food) or Terroni (Italian favorite).

💡 Lifehack:
Get a PRESTO card in your mobile wallet— it works on all Toronto transit (TTC, GO Transit, UP Express). Just tap to ride — super easy, saves money, and no paper tickets to worry about. 🚋
