Queen West

The dynamic energy of Toronto’s Queen Street West is unmatched anywhere else in the city. The area is a hub of the city’s best restaurants, cafés, independent boutiques, street art and galleries, and is a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Vogue Magazine named it one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods and it’s no surprise why.

Don’t miss:

• Shopping along Queen Street West—there's a high concentration of independent boutiques and chain retailers here
• Trinity Bellwoods Park for the vibrant scene and bustling dog park (tip: bring some takeout)
• Direct access to the city’s up-and-coming artists at the Queen West Art Crawl each September
• A stay at one of the area’s art hotels, The Drake Hotel or Gladstone Hotel 
• Brunch at one of the many options, some popular ones being Hello 123, Café Neon and The Good Son
