General Overview

Toronto is a very accessible city, with hundreds of KM's of cycle and multi-use trails, including protected cycle lanes on our downtown roadways. We are within walking distance of the BMO Field, for Toronto FC, Coca Cola Centre hosting the AHL Toronto Marlies. We are a 10-minute walk to Scotia Bank Centre where the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs, and the NBA Toronto Raptors play. Our home is accross the street from the Rogers Centre and the MLB Toronto Blue Jays play. the US and Mexico with our close proximity to the Toronto Island International airport (Billy Bishop is YTZ), again 15-minute walk or short transit hop. If the sports teams are out of town, all the great music events use these facilities, and if you are a live music lover, you will find the largest global acts may be playing in these facilities. Some will enjoy staying in our home for opportunities to experience an incredible choice of restaurants as there are many MICHELIN‑recognized restaurants in downtown Toronto. There are hundreds of great foody locations within a 15-minute walking adventure. Entertainment such as live theater at the Mirvish theaters, are mostly again within walking distance. Every September the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) occurs, and most events are within a 15-minute walk from home. Some may take the opportunity for walking or cycling everywhere in the heart of a large vibrant city safely. Bicycle rental stations are everywhere, and in very large quantities. We enjoy living here as we love this diverse cultural experience, immersed in one of the largest multi-cultural communities in the western hemisphere. There is no better location for everything that such a large and beautiful city offers, within walking distance, and a simple and very frequent local transit within a block.

Notes

For any naturalists out there, Toronto is known for it's diversity. Hanlan's Point Beach is a short 30-min trip (walking and ferry) away. Another similar beach is located within Port Burwell Provincial Park. This park is located on Lake Erie, which is `1.5 hour drive west towards Niagara region. Mirvish Theaters hosts all the top musicals and live theater productions. A little known fact is that hundreds can be saved by purchasing your tickets the morning of the show. These are referred to as 'rush' seats. So book your seats to sold out events same day while you are here. https://www.mirvish.com/whats-on/calendar More Toronto information: https://www.getyourguide.com/toronto-l177/ Toronto Cycling Guide and Maps: https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/cycling-in-toronto/cycling-network-map/

Neighbourhood

Walking to King Street (Entertainment District) you'll be at the centre of the Toronto Film Festival events area (TFF is similar to Cannes Film Festival in France). In this area and everywhere in the immediate vicinity are many restaurants, bars, clubs and live Mirvish Theaters hosting all of the largest theater productions. Opera, ballet can be located in the Sony Centre, and symphony and similar events at Roy Thompson Hall. All music genre's can be enjoyed at Toronto's historic Massey Hall, which has been recently renovated. Large concerts can be attented at the Scotia Bank Arena, Rogers Centre, Roy Thompson centre (15 min walk) hosts symphony events. At the risk of being repetitive, these all exist within walking distance of our home. From our front door, across the street (Bremner Ave). and you are entering the Rogers Centre which hosts the MLB Toronto Blue Jays and most of the very largest concerts hosted in Canada (stadium size tours). Often this dome is open (weather permitting) for large concerts and the Blue Jays. Next to the Rogers Centre, The CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium are available. A few minutes' walk further along on Bremner Avenue, you will be at Scotia Bank Arena where the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL hockey), and the Toronto Raptors (NBA basketball) teams play, and hundreds of shows and concerts happen throughout the year. Lastly, built directly attached to the Scotia Bank Arena is Toronto (and Ontario's) central transportation hub called 'Union Station'. You can go anywhere in the region from this location. The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) grounds is where our fall fair is hosted. This is a very large event occurring for two weeks at the end of August and 1st week of September. In this same location the Toronto F1 race occurs annually, the BMO Field can be found, which hosts the Toronto FC soccer club (soccor/football team) and the Toronto Argonauts (CFL football). These are a 30-minute walk or a short 10-minute streetcar ride away. This immediate area is also where Ontario Place can be found, which hosts the RBC Amphitheatre, providing hundreds of music concerts during the warmer months (May thru September). For the shoppers, there are several large indoor malls in walking, transit and driving distance. For the walkers, the Eaton's Center on Yonge and Dundas Streets is a 30-minute walk. Toronto downtown also has miles of underground pathways (The Path) which has many shopping and restaurants. This is a walking method highly used by commuters and those walking when the weather is less desirable. We are within 5-minute walk of a PATH entrance. If your taste is more 'upscale shops' these can be found through downtown Toronto, but most well known is along Bloor Street West. Parks are everywhere in downtown Toronto. Almost every main street has protected cycling lanes, and we have a very long waterfront multi-use trails (~39 km long) and this can be reached 1 block away from our home. This waterfront trail, you can catch a short ferry ride across the harbor to the Toronto Island beaches and picnic spaces, restaurants, beaches and many small parks. In addition there are many Toronto boat and bus tours available to sign up for. Rental bicycles and powered scooters have rental locations everywhere across the city. Harbourfront also hosts various multi-cultural events throughout the summer weekends. Another notable mention goes to grocery food shopping. There are over 6 major grocery chains with in 30 minutes walk. Also, the iconic 'St. Lawrence Market is less than a 30-minute walk, and is close to the Distillery District. The list of sights, activities, parks, shopping and social activities is far front just what I've highlighted. We know you'll exhaust yourself when you visit, its an experience you will want to repeat.
