Notable Toronto neighbourhoods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toronto\u2019s signature landmark, the CN Tower, looms large over its core. But there\u2019s far more to the city than this singular icon in the entertainment district. With 140 historical neighbourhoods, Toronto has something to offer everyone: food, art, theatre, live music, parks, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Annex<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next to University of Toronto’s St. George Campus, The Annex is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city, drawing students to its casual eateries, indie bookshops, and bard and cafes on Bloor Street West. It is also home to the iconic Lee’s Palace rock concert venue, the quirky Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema, Royal Ontario Museum, and The Royal Conservatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the east side of Toronto, The Beaches draws both locals and visitors to enjoy a day on the shores of Lake Ontario. The Beaches has a small-town vibe, with year-round activities such as birdwatching at Glen Stewart Ravine or visiting Kew and Woodbine Beaches for the annual Winter Stations \u2014 an outdoor art exhibit that runs for six weeks in February and March. The Beaches also hosts an international jazz festival each year in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Junction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Junction, one of Toronto\u2019s liveliest neighbourhoods, is named for its geography: the intersection of where four railway lines in the area meet, and its adjoining area, the Junction Triangle (extending from Lansdowne to its main strip of Sterling Road).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long battle to absolve prohibition in 1997, the neighbourhood boomed and has since become a sought-after place to live and visit. Be sure to check out the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Angell Gallery \u2014 both are must-see stops for art lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ossington<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Found in Toronto\u2019s westside, Ossington\u2019s popularity has skyrocketed,<\/ins> thanks to its wide variety of restaurants, live musical events and an eclectic nightlife scene. One of Ossington\u2019s biggest events is OssFest, a summer festival that takes over the entire strip with street dancing, market stalls, live music,<\/ins> and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kensington Market<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of Toronto\u2019s most unique and recognizable neighbourhoods is Kensington Market, an open-air marketplace filled with food options from around the world, clothing, furniture, cafes, and so much more, all within walking distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the summer, Kensington Market hosts Pedestrian Sundays, closing the neighbourhood to vehicular traffic and allowing visitors to safely ramble throughout the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n
