48-Hour Toronto Itinerary: Your Ultimate Weekend Guide (by a Local!)

Spending just a weekend in Toronto and want to experience the very best of what this vibrant city has to offer? Alright, let’s do it!

As someone born and raised right here in the city, I’ve crafted my ultimate 48-hour Toronto itinerary, packed with my personal favourite spots and must-see experiences. Forget generic tourist traps (truthfully, we’ll need to include some, but…); this is your insider’s guide to making the most of a short trip.

Get ready to explore iconic landmarks, immerse yourself in diverse cultures, savour incredible food, and discover the unique charm of our downtown neighbourhoods – all within a perfectly planned weekend.

While Toronto shines year-round, especially in the Summer, April and May offer a fantastic opportunity to visit. The city begins to shrug off winter with milder temperatures, and you’ll often find fewer crowds than in the peak summer months. Plus, keep an eye out for blossoming spring colours in our parks and potentially some exciting early-season events! Another great option in September and October: September is known for TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), when the city is dolled up with glamour and glitz, welcoming all your fave celebrities.

Navigating things to do in Toronto is easy, with efficient options like the UP Express from Terminal 1 and the extensive TTC subway and streetcar network. We’ll cover the best ways to get around as we go, but the downtown core is walkable.

Places To Stay In Toronto

Whether you’re planning a quick city break or a longer visit, figuring out where to stay in Toronto is key to making the most of your trip. From luxury hotels with stunning skyline views to charming boutique stays and budget-friendly options, the city offers something for every budget and style of travel.

Day 1: Top Toronto Tourist Attractions & City Views

CN Tower: Iconic Views & Culinary Heights

What’s the first thing that pierces the Toronto skyline? For most, it’s the mighty CN Tower!

Soaring 553 metres (that’s 1,814 feet!), this spectacular architectural and engineering feat truly captures the city’s vibrant energy. It has earned its place as a national icon and landmark, an instantly recognizable sight that even graces the cover of Drake’s critically acclaimed album “Views.”

It’s definitely a point of pride for us Torontonians, and being that you can see it from several neighbourhoods within and outside the city, nothing says home quite like the CN Tower. Trust me, as a local who’s seen this view countless times, it never gets old.

For the classic experience, zip up in the elevator to one of the observation decks. On a clear day, the visibility can be stunning. You might even spot the mist rising from Niagara Falls in the distance! Want to feel like a true daredevil? You can brave the EdgeWalk, where you literally walk along the outside edge, safely harnessed, of course!

Local Tip: If you’re looking to snag some incredible photos without battling huge crowds, try heading up a little later in the afternoon. The golden hour light can cast a magical glow over the city; plus, if you time it right, you can get views in both daytime and nighttime, just as pretty. Also, keep an eye on the CN Tower’s event calendar – sometimes they have special light shows or smaller events happening that could coincide with your visit.

Beyond the breathtaking views, the CN Tower is also home to the revolving 360 The Restaurant. Managed by Executive Chef John Morris and General Manager Cameron Dryburgh, this world-class dining experience offers not only exquisite cuisine but also unparalleled panoramic views of the city as you dine. It’s a fantastic option for a special occasion or a truly memorable meal with a perspective unlike any other.

Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada: Dive into Underwater Wonders

Just a quick stroll from Toronto Union Station, the final stop for the UP Express and practically in the shadow of the CN Tower, you’ll find yourself in a completely different world at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada. This isn’t just any aquarium; it’s a sprawling underwater kingdom with over 20,000 aquatic creatures from every corner of the globe. It’s super convenient to hit this right after coming from the airport or before heading out!

Wander through the many exhibits and you’ll feel like you’re being transported from the Canadian Great Lakes to vibrant coral reefs. But the real showstopper? The Dangerous Lagoon, an incredible underwater tunnel where sharks, sea turtles, and sawfish glide effortlessly right above your head!

One of the things I absolutely love about Ripley’s is their Jazz Nights, which typically happen on the second Friday of each month. As a huge jazz fan, I took my Mom here. It was such a treat to experience a live jazz band performing, their smooth tunes echoing throughout the aquarium as the fish glide by. The combination of smooth jazz and the tranquil underwater world is truly magical! 

Throughout the day, Ripley’s also offers engaging interactive exhibits and captivating shows. Be sure to check their schedule when you arrive. It’s a fantastic option whether you’re travelling with family or simply have a fascination with marine life.

Local Tip: Weekends can get busy, especially later in the day. For a less crowded experience, consider visiting Ripley’s Aquarium in the late morning or early afternoon on a weekday. Sharks after dark is also pretty popular!

Rogers Centre (a.k.a. The SkyDome)

Opened in June 1989 and originally named the SkyDome (and still called as such by many locals!), the Rogers Centre is a multi-purpose indoor stadium that hosts some of Toronto’s most exciting events. Located right next to the CN Tower and Ripley’s Aquarium, it’s a convenient next stop on your Toronto adventure.

The Rogers Centre is home to the Toronto Blue Jays (MLB) and has served as a venue for various events, including sporting events, concerts, auto shows, circuses, Disney on Ice, and even Taylor Swift! For those who were here in November 2024, the outside of the Rogers Centre was decked out in massive friendship bracelets, a true testament to the “Swifties” who flocked to the city for her Eras Tour.

Architecturally, the stadium is well-known for being the first to have a fully retractable motorized roof, an annexed 348-room hotel attached, and the last dual sporting major-league stadium in North America (MLB and ¹ NFL).

Lunch with a Side of History (and Beer!)

After soaking in the heights and depths of Toronto, it’s time to refuel, and luckily, there are some great options right around the corner.

Toronto Railway Museum

For a unique experience with a personal touch for me, head over to the. Located in the historic John Street Roundhouse, a museum showcases the rich railway history of the region. Before my mom retired, she worked for the Canadian National Railway (CN). As a child, I would spend summers working in the train yard, which, as a result, has given me a lifelong love for trains. It’s a charming spot to wander through vintage locomotives and learn about Canada’s railway heritage.

Conveniently located within the same building is the Steam Whistle Tap Room. Steam Whistle is a beloved Toronto brewery, and their taproom offers a relaxed atmosphere and delicious pub fare alongside their popular pilsner and other brews. It’s a fantastic spot for a casual and tasty lunch while supporting a local Canadian brewery. If you’re a beer lover, this should be considered one of the can’t-miss attractions in Toronto.

If you’re looking for something a bit more lively, The Pint Public House is also nearby, offering a wide selection of pub food and a great atmosphere. Right across the street, you’ll find Boston Pizza. Now, despite the name, it’s actually a Canadian-founded company and a reliable spot for familiar favourites like pizza, pasta, and burgers.

So, whether you’re in the mood for some history with your meal, a local brewery experience, classic pub fare, or familiar comfort food, you’ll find some of the best restaurants in Toronto just steps away from the CN Tower, Ripley’s, and the Rogers Centre.

After Lunch or Lunch at St. Lawrence Market: A Scenic Walk Towards Local Flavours

Let’s take a pleasant walk east along Front Street towards the St. Lawrence Market. This short stroll offers a glimpse of some other must-see attractions in Toronto.

Hockey Hall of Fame

In true Canadian fashion, our walk will take us right past the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHoF). Housed in a beautiful historic building, the HHoF is a must-visit for any hockey fan. You can explore over 60,000 square feet of exhibits, showcasing everything from iconic trophies and player memorabilia to interactive displays where you can test your skills against a simulated goalie! Currently, you can check out artifacts from the recent 4 Nations Face-Off tournament and a display celebrating the 2024 Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers.

Gooderham Building (The Flatiron Building)

Just a bit further down Front Street, you’ll spot the distinctive Gooderham Building, affectionately known as the Flatiron Building. This architectural gem, completed in 1892, is one of Toronto’s most photographed landmarks and a beautiful example of Victorian-era design.

Berczy Park

Right next to the Gooderham Building is Berczy Park, a charming little green escape in the heart of the city. What makes Berczy Park so special is its whimsical fountain featuring a delightful collection of cast-iron dogs surrounding and gazing at a golden bone atop the water fountain! It’s a perfect spot for a quick breather and a photo op.

St. Lawrence Market: A Feast for the Senses

Continuing east along Front Street, you’ll soon arrive at the historic St. Lawrence Market. This vibrant marketplace has been a Toronto institution since 1803, and as Gordana and I can attest, it’s a fantastic place to spend an afternoon. We make it a Saturday ritual to grab a bite, stock up on fresh produce from the local farmers, and pick up some artisanal bread.

The market comprises three main buildings:

• The South Market: Open Tuesday to Saturday, this is where you’ll find vendors selling everything from fresh produce, meat, and fish to baked goods, dairy, and international delicacies. The second floor also houses the Market Gallery, an exhibition space for the City of Toronto’s Cultural Services.

• The North Market: Now in its brand-new building (officially launching May 10th, 2025!), the North Market hosts the famous Saturday Farmers’ Market and a Sunday Antique Market.

• St. Lawrence Hall: This historic building features various retailers on the ground floor, city offices above, and event spaces on the upper levels.

You can easily spend hours wandering through the stalls, and with all the samples, you can practically eat your way through the market. If you’re wondering where to eat in Toronto on a budget, this is a great place to start! My personal recommendations include:

• Buster’s Sea Cove: For the best seafood, especially their amazing fish and chips.
• Paddington’s Pump: A must-try for the classic Canadian peameal bacon sandwich.
• St. Urbain Bagel Bakery: For authentic Montreal-style bagels.

Evening: Stepping Back in Time in the Vibrant Distillery District

From the St. Lawrence Market, we’ll then head to the Distillery District for the evening.

From the bustling energy of the St. Lawrence Market, we’re now going to step back in time and experience the unique charm of the Distillery District. Despite its name, this area is now known as the city’s premier arts, culture, and entertainment destination, making it one of the top things to do in Toronto for the arts lovers among us.

The Distillery District gets its name from the 47 Victorian-era industrial buildings that once formed the Gooderham & Worts Distillery, which was at one time the largest distillery in Canada. Founded in 1832, it played a significant role in Toronto’s industrial past before eventually closing in 1990. Thankfully, these stunning buildings were preserved and revitalized, reopening in 2003 as the pedestrian village we see today.

Wander rudderlessly along the charming cobblestone streets, and you’ll discover a wide assortment of unique, locally-owned shops in this pedestrian village. You can browse independent art galleries showcasing the works of talented Toronto artists, explore fascinating antique shops filled with vintage finds, and pop into quirky mom-and-pop boutiques offering everything from artisanal crafts to unique fashion. The Distillery District is also a hub for event spaces, hosting everything from theatre performances to art exhibitions.

If by now you still haven’t eaten anything, you’ve got plenty of choice with the amazing variety of restaurants. Whether you’re craving fine dining, casual eats, or international flavors, you’ll find something to tempt your taste buds. My recommendations include Pure Spirits for seafood, the vibrant Mexican cuisine of El Catrin Destileria, the unique cocktails at Spirit of York Distillery Co. (where you can also learn about distilling), and the Parisian-inspired ambiance of Balzac’s Distillery District (perfect for coffee or a light bite).

The Distillery District is also home to another fantastic Canadian brewery, Mill Street Brewery. Their brewpub here is a popular spot, offering a wide selection of their craft beers and a delicious menu, making it a perfect option for dinner in a unique setting, especially when it’s patio season.

That said, while the Distillery District is magical year-round, its ambiance in the evening is particularly special during the winter when it hosts the famous Distillery Christmas Market.

Late Night Buzz: King Street Entertainment District

If, for some reason, you still have energy after exploring the Distillery District, the King Street Entertainment District is where Toronto truly comes alive at night. This vibrant stretch, which also rolls out the red carpet every September for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), is packed with options to keep your evening going.

You’ll find a fantastic mix of bars and lounges perfect for a nightcap, a diverse range of restaurants catering to all tastes, and a lively club scene. Comedy clubs offer laughs, while world-class theatres like the Royal Alexandra Theatre and the Princess of Wales Theatre showcase captivating performances. Music lovers can catch live acts at iconic venues such as The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar and Roy Thomson Hall (though the latter is more for concerts than late-night lounging).

My recommendations for the best places to visit in Toronto’s King Street Entertainment District include:

• STACKT Market (depending on seasonal hours) provides a unique outdoor experience with various food and drink vendors.
• Harriet’s Rooftop boasts a chic atmosphere and panoramic city views.
• Belfast Love Public House offers a lively pub vibe with a great selection of beers.
• Bar Hop is known for its extensive craft beer menu.
• Ruby Soho provides a trendy spot for cocktails and a cool atmosphere.
• Aera offers stunning views of the CN Tower and the city skyline, making it an excellent spot for a memorable drink.

So, if you’re not ready for your 48 hours to end just yet, King Street West is waiting to keep the Toronto excitement going!

Day 2: Culture, Green Spaces & Trendy Vibes

Morning: Parks, Architectural Whimsy, and Artistic Immersion

If you’re coming from downtown, our Day 2 can begin with a visit to Grange Park, a pleasant city park.

Right next to Grange Park, you’ll find the uniquely designed OCAD University. One of its buildings, affectionately known by locals as the “pencil crayon building,” was designed by British architect Will Alsop in partnership with Toronto-based Robbie/Young + Wright Architects. Its design, featuring colourful stilts resembling giant pencil crayons, is a playful and iconic piece of modern Toronto architecture.

Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO)

Just a short stroll north from OCAD University is the renowned Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). The AGO is home to over 90,000 artworks and is lauded as one of North America’s most distinguished art museums. This massive museum houses¹ works of art ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary pieces. Personally, I always find myself drawn to the Canadian and Indigenous Art collections. Aside from being an astonishing physical museum, the AGO has also launched its social media website, Collection X, which grants users access to a digital art forum open to artists and art lovers. 

Mid-Morning Break: Drinks and Bites

By now, you might be ready for a little refreshment. Luckily, this area has some great spots for drinks and pub fare:

• The Village Idiot Pub offers a cozy and traditional pub atmosphere, perfect for a pint and some classic pub snacks.
• Sin & Redemption playfully located across from St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, offers a more eclectic vibe and a diverse menu of drinks and bites.

Hidden Gem Lunch: Baldwin Village

For a truly local lunch experience, let’s head to nearby Baldwin Street in Baldwin Village. This charming, pedestrian-friendly street feels like a step back in time, with its Victorian architecture and a collection of fantastic little restaurants. Based on popular Google reviews, here are a few great options:

• Valens Restaurant Inc. – This casual grill offers Italian-inspired dishes and steaks. Reviews highlight the generous portions and excellent service.
• Tiger Den – A popular Korean restaurant known for its tasty food, friendly service, and dishes like fried chicken and kimchi fries.
• Yuugi Izakaya – Offering an authentic Japanese izakaya experience with rave reviews for its small plates, including the karaage and torched salmon.

Afternoon: Diving into Kensington Market’s Eclectic Vibe

After a satisfying lunch, prepare to be immersed in the wonderfully chaotic and colourful world of Kensington Market. This is a neighbourhood that marches to the beat of its own drum – so much so that the community famously said “hell no!” when Starbucks tried to set up shop here, fiercely protecting its independent spirit.

The best way to experience Kensington is simply to wander the streets rudderlessly. Get delightfully lost in the narrow lanes, discovering vibrant murals splashed across Victorian houses, quirky street art peeking around corners, merchandise, restaurants, vendors, and markets spilling into the streets, and tiny, unexpected gardens.

For the vintage lovers, Kensington is a goldmine. You can spend hours sifting through treasures at spots like Space Vintage and Lost Boys Vintage, each with its own unique collection of retro clothing and accessories. For something a little different, check out the Tibetan Village Store for unique cultural finds.

When hunger strikes again (and it likely will with all the delicious smells, I swear you can smell the Jerk Chicken from Rasta Pasta on the BBQ a few streets over!), Kensington offers a global culinary adventure. Grab a coffee and soak in the atmosphere, chat or people-watch at the iconic Moonbean Coffee Company. For a truly special (and slightly selfishly guarded!) treat, seek out Pamenar for their incredible local beer selection. You can also find mouthwatering Jumbo Empanadas, authentic flavours at Latin Taste, and the classic Golden Patty. For a taste of the Caribbean and Italian fusion, Rasta Pasta is a must-try. And for a sweet treat, I Love Churros is a fantastic stop.

The bar scene in Kensington is just as eclectic. Trinity Common offers an excellent spot for drinks and a lively atmosphere. At the same time, Supermarket Bar and Variety provides a unique space with a bit of everything, such as live performances by local artists later in the evening. Ronnie’s Local 069 is a beloved neighbourhood institution, and Lola Bar and Restaurant offers a cool vibe for cocktails. If you’re craving some comforting Vietnamese, Phở Hưng Restaurant is a local favourite; Gordana loves this place.

After a satisfying lunch, we’ll head towards Casa Loma. Take the streetcar north on Spadina Avenue. As you ride, you’ll pass by the architecturally interesting John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto (https://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/).

Baldwin Steps

The first stop is Casa Loma, but to get up the hill, we need to use the Baldwin Steps, which are a public outdoor staircase that dates back to the 19th century. They are named after a former landowner of the area, the Baldwin family, which included Robert Baldwin, a former premier of Ontario.

Casa Loma: A Glimpse into Toronto’s Grand Past

Prepare to be transported to another era as we head north to Casa Loma, an incredible historic castle nestled on a hill overlooking the city. Built by Sir Henry Pellatt, a prominent Toronto financier, this Edwardian-era mansion was completed in 1914 and boasts opulent suites, secret passages, a long underground tunnel, and stunning architecture.

Exploring Casa Loma feels like stepping onto a movie set – and indeed, it has been the backdrop for many films! You can wander through its grand halls, admire the period furnishings, imagine life as it was in the early 20th century, and even climb the towers for breathtaking panoramic views of the Toronto skyline.

Don’t miss:

• The Secret Passages: Discover hidden doorways and intriguing tunnels within the castle walls.
• The Underground Tunnel: An 800-foot tunnel leading to the former stables and car museum.
• The Gardens: If the weather in late April/early May is pleasant, take a stroll through the beautiful gardens surrounding the castle.
• The Sir Henry Pellatt Documentary: Learn about the fascinating and somewhat eccentric story of Casa Loma’s builder.

Dinner Option 1: Casa Loma does have a restaurant on-site, offering a unique dining experience within the castle walls. Keep in mind that it tends to be on the pricier side, so check their website for menus and reservations if you’re interested in this option.

Dinner Option 2: Kensington Market Revisited

Head back to the eclectic Kensington Market for a diverse and often more budget-friendly range of dinner options. Many of the restaurants and food stalls here stay open into the evening, offering everything from tacos and Jamaican patties to global fusion cuisine. It’s also a great spot for a lively atmosphere and maybe some drinks.

Dinner Option 2: Flavours of Chinatown

A trip south from Casa Loma also brings us to the vibrant heart of Chinatown, one of the largest and oldest in North America, and conveniently located right next to Kensington Market. This bustling neighbourhood is a fantastic place to wander and soak in a different cultural vibe. If you’re looking for Toronto souvenirs, you’ll find plenty of unique options here.

And when hunger strikes, Chinatown offers a seemingly endless array of restaurants serving delicious and affordable Chinese cuisine, making it another excellent choice for dinner tonight.

Graffiti Alley

A short walk south on Spadina from either Kensington Market or Chinatown will lead us to Rush Lane, officially known as Graffiti Alley. This isn’t your typical tourist attraction; it’s a vibrant, ever-evolving outdoor art gallery that explodes with colour and creativity.

Stretching for several blocks between Spadina and Portland, the alleyways here are a canvas for local and international street artists. If you’re lucky, you might even catch an artist working! It’s a fantastic spot to snap some unique photos and get a feel for Toronto’s raw and contemporary art scene. Unlike the curated galleries we visited earlier, Graffiti Alley offers a more spontaneous and unfiltered glimpse into the city’s creative pulse.

If you head south on Portland toward King St. W for drinks!!!

Toronto History

• Toronto is the capital of the province of Ontario and the most populated and famous (I forgot to remove my bias) city in Canada. This is probably the reason why most Torontonians think that Toronto IS Canada.  
• Despite Toronto’s population, popularity, and Torontonians’ feelings on the matter, it is not the nation’s capital. That would be Ottawa, the seat of Canada’s federal government.
• The name Toronto or “Taronto” once referred to a water channel between Lake Simcoe and Couchiching, listed on maps as early as 1675. The name eventually travelled South to a fort at the mouth of the Humber River. Fort Toronto was the first settlement in the area, thus becoming the name of the most magnificent city on earth, Toronto (again forgot to remove my bias)

Getting To Toronto

Plane

Toronto has two main airports Toronto Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Toronto Pearson is Canada’s main airport, with flights to every continent and over 76 scheduled and charter airlines. Canada’s flagship airline is Air Canada, which allows you to hook up a stopover for up to 7 days in Toronto on your way to Europe or Asia.

You can take a taxi, Uber, or public transportation from the airport to Toronto. Still, the fastest and most cost-effective way is the UP Express (Union-Pearson Express). UP Express is a rail service that connects Toronto’s central train station (Union Station) with Toronto’s main airport.

Billy Bishop, Toronto City Airport, is located on Toronto Island, minutes from the downtown core. A short ferry ride or a quick stroll through the pedestrian tunnel under Lake Ontario will get you into Toronto. Both Porter Airlines and Air Canada serve the airport.

Train

VIA Rail and AMTRAK will get you into the city’s heart via Toronto’s Union Station. Union Station is connected to both Toronto’s Subway (TTC) and the underground walking network (PATH) 

The GO Train connects Toronto with several other cities and towns around Ontario, including Niagara Falls. 

Car

Several highways, including Highways 2, 401, 407 and the Queen Elizabeth Way, link surrounding cities to Toronto. The nearest Canada-U.S. border crossings are at Niagara Falls, Fort Erie and Windsor.

Bus

The Union Station Bus Terminal is Toronto’s central bus station. Located at the north-east corner of Bay and Lake Shore Blvd, it is conveniently close to many of the must-see attractions on your Toronto itinerary.
