Harbourfront & Toronto Islands, Toronto

Harbourfront Antique Market - Year round there is a bustling higher end antique market in Harbourfront facing Lake Ontario and the Toronto Islands. On a nice sunny morning, its the place to be if you like antiques with stalls both inside and outside the antique centre, even if you are there to look instead of buy. The building can be found just east of Spadina at the waters edge - take the Spadina streetcar southbound to get there. Or you can also try the St. Lawrence Market on sunday mornings for more reasonbly priced but not nearly as nice antique nick nacks.

Toronto Island - At the foot of the city (about 1/2 hour walk from the south end of the Eaton's Centre), you will find the ferry terminal that will wisk you out of the big city and bring you over to one of three islands affectionatly known as 'Toronto Island'. Cars are all but prohibited here so bring or rent a bike, rollerblades or a good pair of walking shoes and be prepared for gardens, an amusement park, a haunted lighthouse, a small working farm and other quaint attractions. Some lucky residents do live in the few city owned 100 year old houses on the island and contrary to popular opinion they are no longer classified as 'hippies' but have all the friendliness and hospitality of that time. The Island is only a few hundred meters from the foot of Toronto, but they seem a world away. And the 15 minute ferry ride gives you a breathtaking view of the Toronto Harbour. All this for the cost of a $5 return ferry ticket. Not to be missed if you need a little budget peace and quiet.

Leyland Gordon at work

Harbourfront refers to a section of the waterfront from the Ferry Docks to Bathurst St. It is a revitalized area that has art shops, antique shops, and entertainment all the time. Many weekends in the summer there are festivals and live entertainment. There are also many buskers, this is Leyland Gordon who we saw several years ago. Recently they have expanded and improved this area with a music garden.

Definately take a ferry out to the Toronto Islands. They are very beautiful, and this is a great way to escape the city atmosphere, and get some fresh air in your lungs. Ferries leave regularly, so you will have no trouble getting there.

Toronto Islands

Just minutes away from downtown by ferry is the peaceful Toronto Islands. The Toronto Islands are a series of islands connected by bridges. There are variety of things you can do there. It is a wonderful place to visit for families who want to get away from the city. There are trails around the islands that you can either have a relax walk or a bike ride. The Centreville Amusement park on center island would be interesting for children too. Best of all, you can enjoy the wonderful skyline of downtown Toronto. Especially after dark, the night view of downtown from Toronto Islands is so great.
