Travel Tuesday: Toronto + Niagara Falls

Happy Tuesday y’all! If you missed my travel post, be sure to check it out. It was about my relaxing vacation to Nevis island in the Caribbean. This week I wanted to recap my trip to Toronto & Niagara Falls! Let’s get started.

Where I Stayed:

I stayed at the Four Seasons in the beautiful Yorkville neighborhood. I am obsessed with this neighborhood! It’s so so adorable and reminds me of Europe. I stay at the Four Seasons every time I can, because the service is absolutely incredible. They go above and beyond to make sure every guest is taken care of!

How I Got Around the City:

I chose to rent a car on this trip. I flew into Toronto Pearson airport and it was a short drive to the city. Funny (not) story was that I forgot my phone charging cord, so I was in major trouble when I landed. My phone had died and I just had to pick a road and hope I could find a store. Luckily, I followed the traffic and found a Best Buy. AMATEUR move to let my phone die and not have a charger, I know.

I also drove to Niagara Falls from Toronto. There was SO SO much traffic and it took an entire day. Plan ahead and look at the route before leaving ;)

Things to See:

CN Tower (Toronto)

Old City Hall

L Tower, Dog Fountain, Gooderham Building (close to each other)

Sugar Beach

Casa Loma Castle

Niagara Falls

Where I Shopped:

Listen, if Toronto is good enough to be the home of Drake AND Shawn Mendes, you know this town must exude style.

CF Toronto Eaton Centre: I was in Heaven here. I made a day of it, so I could explore every inch of this mall. There’s pretty much Be sure to stop by Nordstrom or Saks if you visit.

Bloor/Yorkville: If you’re looking for anything specific, be sure to walk around this area. The area is beautiful!

There’s also the Atrium shopping center in downtown Toronto. I didn’t get a chance to check it out, but I’ve heard good things.

TIPS:

*Niagara Falls is super tourist-y. This caught me off guard! I also didn’t know Canada had Labor Day on the same day as the US, so it was very busy.

*Parking at Niagara Falls is CRAZY! Go early in the morning if possible.

*Toronto is a very walking-friendly town. Map out the places you want to hit, and plan accordingly.

*Plan to shop! If you love shopping like me, Toronto is home to some of the BEST shopping.

I know that was super long and a lot of information! Be sure to comment below or email me if you have any questions!
