Niagara River Recreation Trail

Reviewed By GSIain

This is our favourite bike ride each year, from Niagara-On-The-Lake to The Falls and back!! Either Spring of Fall - during the week is best to avoid the crowds, cut off the The Parkway at the Helicopter Rides (stop lights) and ride through the town of Niagara Falls to Clifton Hill, then back down to the river (much safer!!). About 52km round trip... pack a lunch & enjoy the Falls!!

Queen Street

Often compared to New York City's Soho, Queen Street is the place to go for trendy dining and nightlife, plus cutting-edge fashion, art galleries, antique shops and bookstores.

Reviewed By salm140 - Toronto, Canada

Take a streetcar ride from one end to the other. Walk so you don't miss an attraction or event or store. All the big chain stores are here as well as local artisans sell used and new. Every km on this street has something for everyone. East to west your eyes will be exhausted with all the various things to do.

7. White Water Walk

Distillery Historic District

The Distillery District is an internationally acclaimed village of brick-lined streets and dozens of vibrantly restored Victorian Industrial buildings. It’s one of Ontario’s hottest tourist attractions and home to live theatres, galleries, fashion, design and jewelry boutiques, unique cafes and award-winning restaurants. It’s all completely closed to traffic and just a few minutes walk from downtown Toronto.

Reviewed By Schipblack - Playa Coronado, Panama

The history of the brick works is a story to be told. Partial parts have been kept. The Saturday farmers market is wonderful - the organics, the unique foods. A great way to stock up on food for the week. Easy to get to from Broadway Subway Station. The restaurant is great - be prepared to wait on weekends. And a great place to learn to about sustainable methods - personal or commercial.

Love the promenade. You can go for a nice walk, shop at some great stores along West Street and then stop for a treat at the wonderful Green Apple Coffee House.
