A Girl’s Guide: 48 Hours in Toronto, Canada

Where we stayed and where we visited

The Omni King Edward Hotel (great location in Downtown Toronto, easy walking distance to many different neighborhoods)

St. Lawrence Market (huge market with meats, variety of seafood and cheeses)

Eaton Centre Mall (huge indoor mall, lots of shopping)

Kensington Market (funky and fun bohemian stores, bars, and restaurants)

Rasta Pasta (amazing pasta and Jamaican food, located in Kensington Market, a must!)

Queen West Shopping District (trendy area full of great boutiques, bars, and restaurants)

Peter Pan Bistro (delicious restaurant in the Queen West neighborhood)

CC Whiskey Lounge (great bar and perfect for any whiskey lover!)

Distillery District (cobblestone streets and no cars are allowed)

Cluny\'s (French bistro in The Distillery District)

Cacao 70 (desserts and hot chocolate)

Castle Loma (18th-century castle in the middle of Toronto)

Bloor Street and Yorkville (upscale neighborhood in Toronto)

Of course remember to bring your passport and any documents you need to cross the border

Google maps will automatically add on an hour of time onto your trip to get through the border at customs but it didn\'t take us that long

I suggest staying in downtown Toronto because it\'s a good central location to everything and you can easily walk to most areas

If you use the CTA in Chicago you can easily get around on the TTC in Toronto, it works very similar

I think the best way to explore and see a city is on foot, so bring good walking shoes
