Things To Do
CN Tower
One of the most recognizable pieces of architecture in the Toronto Skyline, the CN Tower had for decades reigned as the tallest tower in the world and is still the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere. At the top, there’s the 360 Restaurant, which rotates 351 metres in the sky. For those who are seeking a thrill; try the EdgeWalk- a hands-free walk on the outside ledge of the tower.
Yorkville, Toronto
For some shopping, visit Yorkville, Toronto's upscale neighborhood that has transformed into a premier shopping destination. Stroll along Bloor Street to explore luxury designer stores like Tiffany, Chanel, Gucci, and Hermès. There are many upscale restaurants in this neighbourhood. Make your way over to the Holt Renfrew Centre, a high-end department store. With a salon, spa, restaurant and café, Yorkville’s Holt Renfrew can be compared to Saks Fifth Avenue in New York or Harrods in London. For a different shopping experience, the Eaton Centre (mall) or Yorkdale Mall offers a wide range of retail options.
Ripley's Aquarium of Canada
Located in the heart of downtown Toronto at the base of the CN Tower, the aquarium is for people of all ages. The Aquarium features North America’s longest underwater viewing tunnel with more than 5.7 million litres of water and over 100 interactive opportunities.
Niagara Falls
Explore the Niagara Region both Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake. Start with Niagara Falls, just 90 minutes away, to witness its breathtaking natural beauty. We recommend the Hornblower cruise! Afterward, head to Niagara-on-the-Lake, a charming town renowned for its historic architecture, boutique shops, and scenic waterfront. It’s the perfect spot to explore local wineries.
Kensington Market
A historic neighborhood known for its bohemian atmosphere and cultural diversity. Or you can enjoy a delightful lunch in the Distillery District (different area) with options like El Catrin Distillery for vibrant Mexican cuisine. Another option is heading to the St. Lawrence Market, where you can explore over 120 specialty merchants and savor a variety of freshly made foods from numerous vendors (open on Saturdays)
Amal Toronto
Lebanese restaurant located in Yorkville.
KŌST
Airy restaurant with towering views of the city; recommend if you are looking for rooftop views.
Tavazo Dried Nuts & Fruits
Just like Little Italy or Greektown, Toronto’s "Little Persia" is a lively centre of restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores that provide food and memories. We recommend the areas of North York and Richmond Hill to get the "Tehranto" experience. Many grocery stores and restaurants offer Persian versions of fast food take out. When Houman visits Sara's family, he likes to get coffee from a local drive thru - and does it all in Farsi! Tavazo has locations in North York, Richmond Hill, and Thornhill. It is the Persian version of Bulk Barn, it sells nuts, dried fruit, pastries and dried herbs that are imported directly from Iran. There are many more restaurants and activities that we can recommend if you are interested! Please contact us!
