Toronto rewards walkers. On our city tours we cluster stops by neighbourhood character.
Distillery District — 19th-century industrial brick, pedestrian-only, great for coffee and photos. Touristy in a good way.
St. Lawrence Market — twice voted best food market in the world by National Geographic. Get a peameal bacon sandwich at Carousel Bakery.
Kensington Market — vintage shops, Jamaican patties, Chilean empanadas, and Toronto's best people-watching. Resists chain stores by design.
The Annex — Victorian homes, the University of Toronto, and Honest Ed's old footprint. Where the city's literary class lives.
Yorkville — luxury shopping built on a former hippie enclave. Worth a walk for the contrast alone.
You cannot do all five in a single afternoon. Pick two, walk them properly, and save the others for next trip.
