What better way to see downtown Toronto if not by walking around?
Yonge street is always a good place to start your walk, where you can pass by or even enter the stores and bars lying on it.
You have stores like H&M, Elle, SEARS, to name three of them, and restaurants, pubs and bars with different flavours and cuisine, like Paramount Fine Foods, which serves Middle Eastern dishes. A bit higher up on the street you have the world-known Hard Rock Cafe.
In the pink lit displays they have above the bar, they keep their most prized possessions: guitars, bass guitars, outfits, and all sorts of other items received from different artists.
If you want to know more about what they offer, go to their
official website. You can also take a 360 tour of the cafe, to have an idea about what it's like.
After having a light lunch or even just a cocktail at Hard Rock Cafe, you can just cross the street for some shopping at H&M. Or Eaton Centre, which is right next to it. Or better said, H&M is a part of it.
For all you fashion and shopping lovers, Eaton Centre would be the perfect place for shopping. It has both upscale and middle scale shops, which makes it perfect for every pocket.
After walking around the immense shopping centre (and who knows, maybe after some shopping as well), you can exit through the Southern gate, which leads you to Queen Street. If you walk to the right for a bit, you'll get to the Old City Hall.
The beautiful Romanesque styled building sits triumphantly at the corner between Queen and Bay streets, across from the Nathan Phillips Square. It's a pretty impressive building, standing out among the glass skyscrapers.
Downtown Toronto has many more things to offer, it just depends on what each and every one of us needs.
I recommend you go walk around when the weather is nice - and not too cold, mind you - and just enjoy this beautiful city.
Until next time~!
