The best things to do in Toronto this weekend — events, activities, restaurants, itineraries, and neighbourhood picks. Updated every week.
A perfect Toronto weekend: Saturday morning at St. Lawrence Market, afternoon at the Distillery District or Kensington Market, evening dinner in Chinatown or Little Portugal. Sunday: High Park morning, Harbourfront waterfront walk, and one major attraction such as the ROM or CN Tower. The WTF Toronto 48-hour itinerary covers this in full detail.
Yes — two days is enough to experience Toronto's best highlights. The city's neighbourhoods are distinct and walkable, the food scene is world-class, and the waterfront is unlike any North American city. Two days well-planned will show you more than most visitors see in a week.
Top couple activities in Toronto: evening at the Distillery District (year-round fairy lights and wine bars), a walk along the waterfront to the Toronto Islands, a food tour through Kensington Market, dinner in a Yorkville rooftop restaurant, a ROM After Dark event when scheduled, or a day trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake wine country.
