WHY GO NOW: Mix and mingle to the beat
Nearly half of Toronto’s residents are immigrants and more than 200 languages are spoken in Canada’s largest city. A multicultural energy infuses everything from the old-school stylings of Drake to the new HXOUSE emerging artists’ incubator co-founded by singer The Weeknd and his creative director, La Mar Taylor. This creative mix also inspires new restaurants such as Kojin at Momofuku, with its Colombian-inspired, Ontario-sourced dishes sizzling on an Argentine-style grill, and the Toronto Biennial of Art, debuting in 2019. Take a deep dive into the city’s diversity by exploring some of its 140 neighborhoods.
HOW TO GO: Eat, shop, and Instagram your way through Kensington Market and Chinatown on an entertaining Toronto Urban Adventures tour led by a local comedian, artist, actor, or writer guide.
