These unique little islands just off the coastline from Toronto are called home by a few residents but are completely absent of cars. They provide a spring and summer haven for urbanites with a lots of green areas for bicycling and picnicking, affordable boating, and a children's theme park.

Harbourfront/Lakefront

The new waterfront is now home to a popular antique market, Queen's Quay, and the Harbourfront Center, which contains a theatre and venues devoted to the arts as well as a variety of eateries and entertainment.

Chinatown

Revolving mostly around Dundas Street, this area of Toronto may have you fooled into believing you are actually wondering around some Asian city. Dundas Street is lined with food markets displaying a dizzying variety of fresh and dried fish products as well as many exotic vegetables that you would find around an Asian kitchen. The streets branching off to the north and south host many restaurants ranging from holes-in-the-wall to elegant rooms serving Asian fusion cuisine.

Cabbagetown

Named for the rows of cabbage that have since been replaced by lawn, this strip of refurbished Edwardian and Victorian houses make for a scenic walk through the city and an interesting piece of living history.
