As a Canadian that goes to Toronto on a regular basis, I CANNOT stress enough how correct Wolter is that you do NOT want to drive in Toronto. Budget for ANY MODE WHATSOEVER for travel that means YOU dont have to drive in the city.

[HongNguyen-cqhr]

Torontonian here 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ Wolter this was a very accurate travel guide. I can’t think of anything I would add other than if you are using the public transportation you do get 2 hours of free transfer from the time you pay for transit

As a life long Toronto area resident I must say that this video is very accurate. During summer it’s worth taking the ferry over to the island. If this city looks strangely familiar to you but you've never been it is because it often stands in for American cities in movies and television shows. One Hallmark movie set in Texas was filmed here which was really weird.

As a downtown Toronto resident and someone who grew up just outside the city, he’s right about everything except the downtown core not being busy on weekends. It is super busy, yes things will die down in the financial district in the evening but that’s just a small part of downtown

I'm an avid foodie and let me tell you, I've traveled a lot around the world and I have yet to find a metropolis that rivals this city. Whatever it is you feel like eating from around the globe you will certainly find an awesome restaurant that prepares it here. My favorite city in all of North America not for food alone.

[rcad]

Living in Toronto for 22+ years and my favorite thing is still talking the ferry to the islands. You get the best views of the city and the beaches/parks are amazing (in the summer :)!

I’d add:

1. Visit the science centre
2. Canadas wonderland
3. Ripleys aquarium
4. Toronto Zoo
5. Edwards gardens if your into nature
6. And a MUST are the Scarborough bluffs

I’ve been to Toronto twice in 2022 (my first ever foreign trip was my first time). I must say that I felt very welcome and it did not take me long to figure out how to use the TTC. 🍁

As a native Torontonian, you're pretty spot on! Winters here are awful. It IS expensive. It is against the law to not go to Niagara Falls😂. You MUST go. And I agree that it's pretty safe. If you're into nature, visit High Park. There are trails and even a little zoo. In the spring, we have the Cherry Blossoms there. The Cherry trees were a gift from the Emperor of Japan I forget how many years ago. If you like zoos, the Metro Toronto Zoo is great. Lots of animals too see. If you like science, you gotta see the Ontario Science Centre - loads of great interactive exhibits and an IMAX theatre.

There are TONS of things to do in downtown Toronto. It's not just a working area. Restaurants, bars, theaters (film and live theatre), attractions, etc. Toronto downtown has been a tourist attraction for years. Plus, DO visit the CN Tower. The views are stunning and you can go to two different levels. The revolving restaurant is also pretty great. I was born and raised in Toronto and I still live here. It's an amazing city with a vibrant downtown area.

I’m 58 years old and have lived in Toronto all my life, it’s a great city with so much to see and do here. This video has pretty much described Toronto pretty accurately, the only thing I would add to it would be not to miss a visit to the Toronto Zoo and Ripley’s Aquarium. The Toronto Zoo is one of the largest zoos in North America with over 5000 animals to welcome you to the city. You can literally walk for miles and miles inside the zoo or you can hop on the Zoomobile to take you from one area to another. Toronto is definitely an expensive city to visit, but the memories that you will take with you when you leave will be memories that will last you a lifetime !

[markreynolds]

As a Canadian who now lives in Germany, you summed up Toronto perfectly. It is well worth the visit and the food is amazing. I don’t know if I have been to another city with so many varied foods.

As a Toronto resident, your Toronto videos are always spot on. You could be an honourary Torontonian.

[njam]

This is the best review I've ever seen of Toronto from someone who isn't Canadian. I have lived in Ontario all of my life and agree with everything in this video. I visited the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) and ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) last Summer for the first time. Both were great but I especially loved the AGO. I agree that Toronto City Hall does have an ugly look but it's interesting architecture due to the era it was built in and isn't boring. The only place I haven't been to in the video in St. Lawrence Market but I plan to go the next time I visit.

[MsDivineLegacy]

As a Torontonian, you really hit the nail on the head, that was a great description! Another thing we have a lot of is microbreweries on the east and west ends. You can walk to 3-4 fantastic ones in a small distance, it’s a great way to spend the afternoon!

[silverywhite]

Thanks for this video! Local Torontonian here and first time commenting but I'd say don't think Toronto is just an urban city without nature areas to explore. There are many nice parks and hiking trails in the neighbourhoods outside of downtown (in Scarborough or North York, for example) that are gorgeous especially during late autumn with the beautiful foliage. It does take a bit of time to travel on public transit and not many tourists would be interested, but it is definitely something I'd suggest for those looking for a bit of off-the-beaten-track options. Some parks that I really love: Crothers Woods, Morningside Park, Rouge Valley, Don Valley Trails (for salmon migration), and Scarborough Bluffs.

Toronto is one of our favorite cities to visit. We need to go back and vlog it now that we are on YouTube! Great tips!!

[selkarogers]

This was a great video on Toronto, I have lived here for 17 years and I love the city. Toronto is not an easily discovered city and you have to transit around and really do your research on what you want to check out. Some cities have everything in one area it's not like that here. The best of the city is spread out in all the different neighborhoods and can seem tucked away. Expect to do a lot of walking while you're here. The best time to visit Toronto is in late spring or fall. I would say mid June or mid September, early October. Our winters are grey, windy, humid and cold and our summers are scorchers, we get into the late 30s to mid 40s in the summer and it's a super humid sticky heat. The pollution and grime mixed with the extreme heat of the city makes it rough. I wouldn't recommend coming during our heat wave unless you spend all your time outside on the beaches.

[ericstefko]

Another thing is don't miss the Toronto Islands, it has amazing evening views of the city. Also the residential section is adorable, you feel like you are in Hobbit town

[MrMinusTwo]

I have lived in Toronto my whole life and can confirm that this is really accurate, insightful stuff from someone who has clearly spent TIME here and understands the place. Great video.
