I have been living in Toronto for over a decade so it's about time I share my
hidden secrets and best places to visit for the largest city in Canada.
Upon arrival at Toronto Pearson Airport hop on the UP Express to downtown Toronto

with a credit card.
First stop check out the Sunnyside Pavilion especially on a gorgeous sunny day like this, grab yourself some breakfast and the iconic
Canadian Caesar cocktail which contains vodka hot sauce and Clamato tomato juice.
Alternatively go to the Hunters Landing for another amazing breakfast. Here at Hunters Landing, they have the Absolut Cure the most ridiculous Caesar in Canada. I mean look at this thing pizza Canadian bacon and a lobster tail

interesting to see behind every corner

just the 30-minute drive east of Toronto.

walking around here can be very dangerous, use a lot of caution
Bluff's Park, a great spot for a romantic walk .so they even allow fire pits here at the park

Bluffer's Park Beach!
I personally consider this a hidden gem in Toronto since many Torontonians have
never heard of this spot
now on the West End of Toronto, there's a bizarre little place called the
Cheltenham Badlands, this place literally looks like Mars on earth
due to poor farming practices and another great spot for photography.

underground tunnels
perhaps the coolest exhibit at Casa Loma are the underground tunnels

Now if you want to learn more about the history of Toronto and the
Canadian-American war of 1812 goes check out Fort York. Can you imagine the amount of destruction we could do

traditional homemade ginger cookies from the oldest kitchen in Toronto.
This fort became the City of York and was eventually renamed to Toronto which
literally means trees standing in the water in the native language.
The Burger's Priest
for absolutely the best burgers in Toronto, try the California classic
you will never look at burgers the same way after devouring this beauty between

If you are in need of a drink and a good daytime party check out
Cabana Pool Bar from which you can enjoy this epic Toronto skyline but I do recommend
going with a good group of friends.

incredible view of Toronto for another great view check out the famous
Thompson.
