Toronto neighborhood finder

Toronto has more than a dozen distinct neighborhoods worth basing yourself in. Tell us your travel style and trip length — we'll rank the best fits.

Choosing where to stay in Toronto

Downtown neighborhoods (Downtown Core, Distillery District, Entertainment District) put you within walking distance of the CN Tower, Union Station and most major attractions, but come at a price premium. Slightly further-out neighborhoods like Kensington Market, Queen West and the Beaches trade a short transit ride for lower rates and a more local feel. For stays under three nights, basing yourself in one central neighborhood is usually easiest; for longer trips, splitting between two areas lets you experience more of the city.
