I recently took a road trip to Toronto, Canada and let me just tell you, it was absolutely amazing. Before the trip, my friends, my cousin, and I made a list of places we had to see. Based on our opinions, here are the top five places you should go to if you ever decide to go to Toronto, Canada.
1. LA Tour CN Tower
I feel as though this is a must if you ever visit the city. You are able to see the city in its entirety from 1,136 feet. On clear days, they say you are even able to see Niagara Falls! We didn't get to see it because it was super snowy when we went, but it is definitely a possibility. You also have the option of dining in their 360 restaurant or even doing the Edge Walk where you walk on the sides of the building.
2. The Graffiti Wall
It's an alleyway that is covered with graffiti and it differs in color schemes and overall themes. It was astounding to see the pure talent people had. Although it was below freezing when we went here, it is the perfect place to admire art and to take the coolest Instagram pictures.
3. The Lockhart
If you are a Harry Potter fan (even if you are not), you have to go here! Every inch of this place is covered with Harry Potter references. They have a hallway that has pages of the books pasted to it. It is a bar that you can go to if you want alcohol, but if you do not want to drink, they also have mocktails of certain drinks. The menu had a plethora of drinks that had names that related to the series. The atmosphere itself made you feel like you were in a more modern Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley.
4. Fring's
This is a restaurant that Drake, the rapper, had named. It is a bit more on the pricey side but definitely worth it. The food was delicious; I got the bucatini alla bolognese and a lava cake and it was amazing. The place had a very sophisticated atmosphere. Plus, there is a very cool sign located at the bottom of the building.
5. Fika
This is a coffee/pastry shop that has a very cute, artsy atmosphere. The staff is so sweet and helpful with any tips on what to get if you are new. I got a hot chocolate there that is now one of my top favorites. What makes it even better is that it has a wall that is covered in book pages!
These were just a few of the places I definitely suggest you go to if you ever decide to make a visit to Toronto! We also had an amazing time in the Distillery District and Fashion District where it is filled with unique shops and people. No matter what, just make the most of your time here and try new things!
