Start your tour in downtown Toronto and hop into a comfortable minibus. Drive to the Distillery District, a pedestrian-only village that is home to North America’s largest collection of Victorian-era industrial architecture.

Continue to the St. Lawrence Market, a historic market that has been serving the city since 1803. Admire the Flatiron Building, a historic building that is one of the most photographed in Toronto.

Next, visit the Allan Gardens Conservatory, a historic greenhouse that is home to a variety of plants from around the world. Continue to Brookfield Place, a commercial complex that is home to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

See Union Station and the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, and then head to the PATH, an underground pedestrian walkway that connects various buildings in the city.

Drive to Toronto’s Old and New City Halls, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Sharp Design Centre. Continue to Kensington Market, a vibrant neighborhood that is home to a mix of high-end organic food stores, restaurants, and butcher shops.

Next, visit Queen's Park, the University of Toronto, and the Royal Ontario Museum. Continue to Casa Loma, a historic castle that is a popular tourist attraction.

Next, visit Yorkville, Toronto’s most upscale neighborhood. Once home to bohemians and hippies, Yorkville transformed in the 1980s into a prime destination for tourists.

Continue to the historic and eclectic Kensington Market. It’s a mix of high-end organic and gluten-free food stores, refined restaurants, elite butcher shops offering fresh venison, wild boar, and even bison, alongside a flea market atmosphere where you can buy five T-shirts for ten dollars.

From the market, walk to the Art Gallery of Ontario. The gallery underwent a major renovation in 2008 by one of the world’s greatest contemporary architects, Frank Gehry, who was born in Toronto.

Adjacent to the gallery is the remarkable Sharp Design Centre at OCAD University. Known as the “Tabletop House,” this four-story, 80-by-30-meter building almost appears to float in the air.

The Hockey Hall of Fame is located in Brookfield Place. Its immense Lambert Gallery atrium with soaring parabolic ceilings connects several bank towers. Santiago Calatrava's design is awe-inspiring.

Exiting onto Bay Street (Toronto’s version of New York’s Wall Street), you’ll see the Royal Bank skyscraper in its full glory, its glass panels infused with 70 kg of gold.

No tour of Toronto would be complete without a visit to the Distillery District. For over 150 years, from the 1830s to the 1980s, whiskey was produced here. It now holds North America’s largest collection of Victorian industrial buildings and is the only car-free neighborhood in Toronto.
