It&#8217;s a place where you can find any community of people, along with any type of attraction. Welcome to Toronto, a city that gives you bustling markets and fine dining, stunning nature and massive skyscrapers, a cultural center (or, in the local dialect, &#8220;centre&#8221;) with something for every traveler. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s where to begin Toronto:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/100618\/Toronto\/TorontoGen.jpg\" alt=\"Toronto\" width=\"960\" height=\"773\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Toronto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>IF YOU CHECK OUT ONE NEIGHBORHOOD:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you didn&#8217;t know better, you might think Toronto&#8217;s Kensington Market is an actual, contained market, one with stalls and vendors. Then you\u2019ll go there, find yourself in one of the most multicultural cities&#8217; most multicultural neighborhoods \u2014 full of vintage shops, trendy cafes, art galleries, and restaurants \u2014 and feel even better about your decision to come. A Jewish neighborhood at the turn of the century, it\u2019s now a mosaic of the city, decorated with colorful Victorian houses and plenty of shopping. <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/eatrastapasta.ca\/\">Rasta Pasta<\/a> (food) and <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/kidicarus.ca\/\">Kid Icarus<\/a> (crafts) are two favorites in this not-really-a-market market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IF YOU GO TO ONE ACTUAL MARKET:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe historic <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stlawrencemarket.com\/\">St. Lawrence Market<\/a>, on the other hand, is a real, honest-to-god market. Cheese, fish, meat, bread, jewelry, gifts, wine \u2014 it\u2019s all here, and, it should be noted, so is seemingly every man, woman, and child in Toronto. It\u2019s crowded. On Saturday, you\u2019ll want to get to the North Market especially early for the farmer&#8217;s market. The same can be said for the antique market on Sunday. The 120 vendors in the South Market are a more regular attraction, with a general agreement that the peameal bacon sandwiches at <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stlawrencemarket.com\/vendors\/vendor_detail\/56\">Carousel Bakery<\/a> live up to their fame. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/100618\/Toronto\/StLawrence.jpg\" alt=\"St. Lawrence Market\" width=\"960\" height=\"773\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">St. Lawrence Market (Photo courtesy of Jeff Smith\u00a0on\u00a0Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>IF YOU GO TO ONE HIP RESTAURANT:<\/strong><br \/>\nToronto\u2019s diversity is what makes its food scene such a joy, and just as you can sample every type of food in a casual setting like Kensington Market, the renowned restaurants bring that same spirit of culinary variety, of food inspired by every corner of the globe. At the tapas restaurant <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/barisabel.com\/\">Bar Isabel<\/a>, where a table is as coveted as anywhere in Toronto, <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/toronto-canada-culinary-hotspot-dining-guide\">Vogue<\/a> points out that jamon Iberico de Bellota sits on the menu alongside shishito peppers. In any case, if you&#8217;re with a group, get the full octopus. Chef and owner Grant van Gameren is a bona fide Canadian star, and if you\u2019d rather try somewhere a little easier to get a table, you can head to his <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thisisbarraval.com\/\">Bar Raval<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IF YOU WANT TO SEE NATURE:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you only want to <em>feel<\/em> like you&#8217;re leaving the urban center, without actually driving anywhere far-flung, then it&#8217;s time for Toronto Island Park. Just a ten to twenty minute ferry from downtown, the islands feel infinitely further from the city in vibe. And typical of Toronto, there\u2019s something for everyone: beaches for the sunbathers, an amusement park for the kids, even a haunted lighthouse and a nude beach. Yes, there&#8217;s a nude beach in Toronto. No, it&#8217;s not recommended in winter. What is, though, is cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and all the other freezing things people do when they can\u2019t undress on the beach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/100618\/Toronto\/BarIsabel.jpg\" alt=\"Bar Isabel\" width=\"960\" height=\"773\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bar Isabel (Images courtesy of @bar_isabel)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>IF YOU VISIT ONE BIG TOURIST ATTRACTION:<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, Toronto actually has a castle. <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/casaloma.ca\/\">Casa Loma<\/a>, to be specific, a Gothic Revival masterwork with 98 rooms.
