Toronto > Neighborhoods > Harbourfront

When summer brings its humid wrath to Toronto, there’s no better place to be than wandering along the Harbourfront walkway -- an ice cream in hand and wallowing in the cool breeze coming off Lake Ontario. But there’s a lot more to this place than waterfront property, as most of Toronto’s much bragged about highlights are here.

In this neighborhood you will find the new Air Canada Center (featuring basketball and hockey), Skydome (baseball and football), CN Tower and the Antique Market. You will also find excellent outdoor patios with transient entertainment, such as jugglers, performance artists and musicians. And if you get bored, which is unlikely, you can catch a ferry across the lake to Centre Island, where there are beaches, parks and roller coasters.

To get to the Harbourfront, take the subway to Union Station (and make sure you have a look around there), then catch the Light Rail Transit (LRT) to Queens Quay.
