[@emhartjes]

Listening to your video about Toronto makes me realize how great our city is and how lucky we are to be able to enjoy all the things you mentioned.

[@woltersworld]

Elona Hartjes Seriously, Toronto rocks!

[@jessforan7810]

Theres also Koreatown, little Jamaica, little portugal, Yorkville, Dundas square/eaton centre area, the annex, the junction..Queen street shopping.. All cool places

[@kristaylor7119]

I'm moving to Toronto later this year, cannot wait!

[@monty6815]

Excellent video! Don't forget to mention Toronto's sports scene. This is a huge sports city with MLB, MLS, NBA, NHL all within the downtown core.

[@taryndancer29]

This makes me miss living in Toronto so much!

[@MyCatFooed]

It's on of my absolute favorite cities!! My wife & I just *LOVE* Toronto!!! I would highly recommend Toronto for a vacation!!

[@woltersworld]

MyCatFooed I concur my good feline friend :)

[@RFM-]

I've seen tons of your video's (Mainly Germany) but your points about Toronto are spot on. It's a laid back kind BIG CITY.

[@thesinner767]

I recommend you to get the citypass. Its a cheaper option to see all 5 top things to see in Toronto. Have fun.

[@TrudiCrookshanks]

I need to add Toronto to my bucket list. All of Canada is on my bucket list as it is! Enjoy your video about what to do.

[@woltersworld]

Trudi Crookshanks thanks Trudi. I really enjoyed Toronto and Canada in general. Friendly people, beautiful nature. such a good time.

[@danielbrowniel]

On my honeymoon my wife and I went to the top of the CN tower and shared a 3 course meal in the restaurant and it really wasn't that bad... walked on the glass floor up there.. a splurge worth doing once.

[@joeya5147]

This is a really great video. Its cool I've lived in toronto my whole life but living there you don't really do too many touristy sort of things, but now that i have friends visiting its given me a whole new perspective on just how great this city is! keep up the good work woltersworld

[@woltersworld]

joey armenio thanks Joey. I appreciate the kind words! all the best to you. Toronoto is an awesome city

[@amtwhite]

Should definitely go to Greek Town/The Danforth in the summer for outdoor cafes/restaurants and beautiful parks. Also any where along the lakeshore is great.

[@DragonflyenAmber]

The Toronto Zoo, Greektown (Street festival in August called Taste of the Danforth) Beaches Jazz Festival, Caribana, Taylor Creek Park, C.N.E in August, High Park, Bloor West Village, Science Centre, tonnes to do in Toronto! :)

[@PaulyC8879]

Great video! Thanks!

[@dylanacevedo968]

I didn't know how beautiful is Toronto until I get her, the whole city really blow my mind

[@judithanne1234]

One thing I would add to the CN Tower experience- the Edge Walk. It seemed a little expensive at first, but was worth every penny and is an experience you'll never forget! Kids have to be 13+ to do the walk, though :-)

[@woltersworld]

judith frieh cool to know.

[@djcarbines]

I also did it. One of the first night walks due the later opening hours and approaching winter when I went. It also means you can do the crows nest in the daylight after the edgewalk (within 3 days) so you get the best of both worlds

[@thetastefulcat]

I love spending full days in Kensington Market, one of my favourite places on earth. My favourite shop is Courage My Love on Kensington Ave, I get pretty much all my jewelry there. Sampling cheeses in the cheese shop there, and picking your favourite to buy is also very fun. Cobs bread bakery is really good, and healthy for the most part, they have really high quality bread.

[@ironmaidenforlife29]

thetastefulcat as a new student to Toronto, I can't wait to check this out. Is it open during fall as well ?

[@IvyRoad]

I have a bosun's whistle somewhere that I got at Courage My Love in the 1970s.

[@capnkringe4683]

Anyone annoyed that he did not mention the burgers priest restaurant

[@KimNguyen-ky1uv]

Love this video.

[@leegebhardt4750]

Also Allan Gardens! Free to explore and gorgeous!

[@nicpey]

wow! you've really changed my perspective on Toronto. i'm surprised to say this about Canada... but we may have to visit Toronto!

[@woltersworld]

nicpey well... then I did my job ;)

[@woltersworld]

jovicrazed they don't serve putine at breakfast!

[@BnMProductions11]

Wow, it's almost like Toronto isn't a frozen wasteland that pails in comparison to all major US cities. We're just sitting up here petting our Polar Bears all year long.

[@janburn007]

Sounds ike some good suggestions for things to see & do in Canada (Toronto) - when I get there...

[@woltersworld]

janburn007 you should go. we really enjoyed it (and I was not expecting to enjoy it, or I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did). Thanks for all the comments today!

[@princeskaL]

I recommend Ripleys Aquarium in Toronto

[@eriicamcmanus]

Great review!!!! thanks you and blessing from México, you should come here too!! :D

[@woltersworld]

+Erica Mendoza Mc Manus thanks Erica. We have a few videos from Cancun but we do need to go back for more. My youngest really wants to go

[@hubblelord999]

Did you check out some of the other boroughs of Toronto (there's 5: Toronto, York, north York, east York, etobicoke, and Scarborough)?

[@mjseternalera8431]

I live in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 it’s a great city to live in

[@packerpf]

Cn Tower; $50 chicken meal; melted in my mouth!! Could maybe argue best meal I've ever had even. I also loved the St. Lawrence market; our hotel was only a few blocks we went most days. With your outdoor; partake or view in a parade! There were parades all the time in the 2 weeks we were there. Also baseball fans gotta get to the blue jay's stadium the outside design is so cool; plus right by the CN anyways. I was lucky to be there for the world baseball classic

[@woltersworld]

packerpf thanks packerpf! now I wish I would have sucked it up and gone up for dinner :)

[@humr3721]

what hotel did you stay at and would you recommend it? if you don't mind could you also give me an idea of the pricing?

[@packerpf]

Myra Montage at that time I believe it was the Holiday Inn express; we weren't there much so i couldn't tell you much about the place, but ice was easily accessible, the people gave great directions for how to get to where we wanted and the area actually seemed super safe for being downtown; we had 3 of us, and it was several years back, but including flight and hotel we paid about 450 a piece for a 5 day stay i want to say the hotel was about 85-105 a night..but location was so perfect and i didn't see too many hotels in such a great location with so much going on around it.

[@yurismir1]

Toronto has several Chinatowns IIRC. I went to the one you're talking about

[@AleTat10]

Hey Mark, there are a few places in Toronto you haven’t mentioned yet that I think would be great for your travel tips you do offer to your fans that go either to this vid or ur love-hate vid on Toronto, being from around the GTA and now having the TTC extended into my home city of Vaughan on the Spadina-University side of Line 1, there are a plethora of more things to do in and around the GTA as a whole. So for attractions to see, there’s the Distillery District on Parliament, Little Tokyo which has a stretch of Japanese-inspired shops and restaurants on a stretch of street frum Dundas east at St.Patrick Station which leads into Yonge-Dundas Square and Eaton Centre area; The Rec Room which is in the area of the Roundhouse where the trains are but a little west of where the trains are it’s like Dave & Busters but newer, more upscale and kid & adult friendly as well, they also have ping-pong tables outside as well; u already did mention Kensington; for those who want to venture off the beaten path on Spadina, there’s a place called Graffiti alley which is pretty close to I believe Queen & Spadina or College & Spadina. But it’s a beauty spot to take picts of sum crazy good artwork on a stretch of allies within one area; Casa Loma, dnt know if u mentioned it but the tunnels there are spectacular, also they have a fun lil thing called the Xcape Room witin the dungeons of the castle and finally Medieval Times if not already mentioned which is on the grounds of the Ex. A few adult friendly places of note are, Cabana Pool Bar @ Poulson Pier; the nightlife scene on King Street, especially The Ball Room & Steam Whistle Brewery which is in the same Round House complex across frum Rogers Centre. But as for what you can do in Vaughan, aside frum Wonderland is Vaughan Mills which is a lil South of Wonderland; there is a cenotaph around Woodbridge Avenue in Woodbridge for the history buffs; Kortright Center for the nature enthusiasts, it’s off Rutherford Road & Pine Valley Drive to the South but Major Mackenzie Drive & Pine Valley to the North, it also has it’s own “Xcape Room” of sorts at night & finally for what you can do in the Vaughan area coming off the subway on the most northern portion of Line 1 is McMichael Art Gallery which is north on Islington Avenue into Klienburg, which features sum nice outdoor galleries and an indoor art gallery within the whole gallery complex.

[@marklittle8805]

The Ontario Science Centre is a must.....

[@eddiew2325]

Sup mark did you know I love you

[@myragroenewegen5426]

Also the art and architecture of the distillery district is a must see -- very well preserved old brick distillery buildings converted into art gallery's with a wild and wacky steampunk vibe. Lots of festivals and craft fairs happen there too. For more awesome old brick, upscale local artist shopping and a nice quiet nature walk area, there's also the Brickworks area. Both places have interesting history you can really see in the buildings. Take in some local theatre in Toronto that isn't the big box hollywood musical variety. CanStage, the Tarragon Theatre and Soulpepper are really great all around theatres with long histories and play that make up in acting quality and interesting political and literary content what they lack in spectacle and luxury. The even smaller Theatre Passes Muraille, Factory Theatre and the LGBTQ-focused theatre Buddies in Bad Times are even less outwardly luxurious and slightly more hit-or-miss, but if you do your research you'll find the best national theatre in these places too. There's a new crop of small and large storefront theatre coming up here, but these are the mainstays I've always known and loved.

[@hubblelord999]

Skip casa loma and go to the spadina manor museum next to it. Much better history and a really influential family donated the house its very pretty

[@bcpr9812]

Just a note with PATH: don't enter it for the first time, if you're in a rush to get somewhere. The absence of the sky overhead makes it harder to orientate yourself. It's like a cross between a shopping mall and a multi-city block maze. It's easy to get lost, even with a map (I know from experience). It's basically a rite of passage in Toronto, to get lost in PATH. If you DO become hopelessly lost, though, the good news is that Canadian hospitality pretty much guarantees you'll find a kind (and more PATH-experienced) local who can help you get where you need to go. All that said: getting lost in PATH for a few hours is preferable to being above ground in the middle of winter, much of the time. Toronto is cold enough that from December to March, even later, snow and ice just happen and they keep piling up, without melting. Make sure that if you're there in the middle of winter, you have winter boots and a parka/other coat which are good to -20C. Toque, scarf, gloves, and at least a thick pair of jeans or equivalent, are also necessary during the worst of a Toronto's winter. If you can get long johns (long underwear) under those jeans, so much the better.

[@mrworldwar1flyingace]

Go to Vancouver!

[@RichardHartl]

I don't mind the addition to the ROM but SO MANY of the locals here despise the crystal addition. They think it's hideous and some are concerned of falling ice in the winter. It was added late 2000's. BTW there is also a terrible infestation of raccoons too. Hearing a fight between two of them right now outside my house lol

[@seandewolf7230]

When I think Toronto...I think Hockey Hall of Fame!!..That's the 1st place I hit.Than Air Canada Centre for a Leafs Game..after that I'll play it by ear...Is Maple Leaf Gardens still there?...Or did they tear it down?

[@BnMProductions11]

It's still there, I think it is partly a grocery store or something and the other half is owned by Ryerson University and they still play hockey there.

[@crabsy3]

Why not do one on Calgary Alberta Canada and the surrounding area?

[@AleTat10]

As for eats that are kinda not known & one know eatery in the GTA, Kukum Kitchen which offers Indigenous Canadian fare at 4 or 5 Star type of prices which can be accessed frum St.Clare Station. If you want Indigenous fare at fairer prices then Banock around the Queen Street side where the Eaton Center, city hall, Old City Hall & a cenotaph is the place to be. And a place that has locations in Toronto and one in Vaughan at Weston Road & Highway 7 is Burgers Priest.

[@AleTat10]

Hopefully this helps your fans who wanna try off the beaten path attractions and eateries when coming to Toronto, especially if u happen to make ur way back to the city again wit yourself, u & the wifey or u, ur wife & ur kids.

[@drewneubuhr2919]

Just some more perspective for American tourists. Think of Toronto as Canadian NYC. Vancouver is like Canadian LA, Winnipeg is Chicago, etc.

[@2900405]

SER Andrew Not really you're maybe just right for Toronto

[@PABrewNews]

Bellwood's Brewery!

[@woltersworld]

PABrewNews Beer is good :)

[@bemymuse2675]

Sorry to say...that is the replica Stanley Cup at the HHOF. The real one is with the Stanley Cup Winners. Every team member gets 24 hours with it.

[@sjappiyah4071]

This was very nice, but I would advise that if you're going to stay longer, then come out of the downtown core, there are plenty of cooler stuff to do in the city but out of downtown.

[@cocacolachy]

Samuel Appiah do you have some suggestions?

[@liammiddleton3064]

Like?

[@cocacolachy]

@@liammiddleton3064 you were saying that there were cooler stuff to do out of downtown, are there any regions or activities you recommend especially for young adults? thanks!

[@michaelkachor6018]

Fort York.

[@benjaminreeves3861]

Are you ever going to go anywhere in western Canada? Just wondering. Thanks.

[@woltersworld]

Ben Reeves we will, summer 2016 right now is our 6 week western Canada trail. go in around Minnesota and then head across.

[@importedmusic]

What I will say as a British traveller (and European) to Toronto, is to avoid Casa Loma. The chances are you've seen geniune "castles" or historic houses far more picteresque, ancient and interesting than Casa Loma which for me was not really worth the visit. If you do go however, check out the passages to the stables and the timeline of photos which documents the history of Toronto over the last 100 years, the most interesting thing to see there!!!!

[@klarissaclairiton9010]

+importedmusic it is not really a castle. It is a very large estate in a residential neighbourhood and should not be call a castle as it is misleading.

[@edwardbliss8931]

All the tourists that visit Chinatown want to check out that smallish fancy glass-windowed mall at Dundas and Spadina (Dragon City Mall) but there's absolutely nothing to see in there

[@celticbouy4]

You forgot Ripley's Aquarium!!!

[@prowlie]

If you're gonna pay to go up the CN Tower and you want the best view.... Edgewalk it!

[@tonyhodgkinson7026]

Walter what is it you do for a job because you get to travel all over the world. Are you now paid by companies?

[@thefozzybear]

You missed Korea town.

[@Pricopea]

I heard they got good Caribbean food in Toronto

[@dandemsky7157]

Nathan tons

[@pauly5418]

Check out the Caribbean Carnivall (formerly called Caribana) and the parade. Usually first weekend of August.

[@liammiddleton3064]

Someone will get shot there almost every time

[@marcelrobinson]

5 days, visit all of these 10 sites? Challenge accepted

[@dandemsky7157]

It's actually a replica Stanley Cup

[@pauly5418]

No, it''s actually the original. The names of the players are engraved on the side and, when there was no more space on the original, another cup was made and that's the one that usually travels with individual players of the winning team on their tours.

[@pumpkinking5174]

Nope, it's the copy that was made in 1993. The original top bowl which is the original cup is in glass in the hall of fame. The cup that a team wins is the presentation cup, and that one travels around almost the whole year.

[@arkon6084]

and no guns allowed.

[@eyecomeinpeace2707]

Toranna. The people city.

[@icykim693]

Coming from hk. It makes me think its a very boring place!!
