Hello From Toronto - Part 2: Exploring Toronto's Waterfront by Bicycle and Visiting the CN Tower
Summary
With my sporty European visitors in town, I thought exploring Toronto by bicycle would be perfect. Joining them on their first guided bike tour, I grabbed my bike, and the five of us headed to Bicycle Solutions near Parliament and Carlton Streets. Renting a bike was quick and affordable at just $70 for the week, and soon, we were all set for our adventure.Our Adventure Begins
We started our tour in Cabbagetown, one of Toronto's historic districts. Our first stop was Riverdale Farm, featuring a historic farmhouse and various stables with farm animals?"a perfect place for city kids to meet farm animals. Next, we visited the Toronto Necropolis, established in 1850 and one of the city's most picturesque cemeteries, filled with exquisite sculptures and Victorian architecture.Cycling through Regent Park, we made our way to the Distillery District, Toronto's lively entertainment area. Originally founded in 1832 by William Gooderham and James Worts, it was once the British Empire's largest distillery. This pedestrian-only village is now a hub for arts and culture, featuring galleries, studios, restaurants, and a popular film location, having hosted over 800 productions like "Chicago" and "X-Men." We couldn't resist a stop at the Mill Street Brewery to sample some local beer?"a treat for my European guests.
By the Lakeshore
Heading south to Lakeshore Boulevard, we cycled past Harbourfront, home to luxury condos and attractions like Queens Quay Terminal and Harbourfront Centre. We continued our journey on the Martin Goodman Trail, enjoying the lakefront view as we passed Ontario Place and the bustling Canadian National Exhibition.Our turnaround point was Sunnyside Pavilion, a historic bathing pavilion near a sandy beach. After a refreshing break, we returned eastward and indulged in some roadside hot dogs near the Princess Gates. My European friends were thrilled by the variety of toppings, including sauerkraut and hot peppers.
Discovering Toronto Island
Returning to Harbourfront, we took the ferry to Hanlan's Point and explored the Toronto Islands by bike. The islands, a serene green escape from the city, offered breathtaking views from an old pier. Unfortunately, the restaurant on Centre Island was closed, but we found a charming spot with a patio overlooking a waterway, where we relaxed before heading back to the mainland.Back on the Martin Goodman Trail, we ventured along the Eastern Beaches and explored Ashbridges Bay?"a scenic and tranquil spot. As we cycled past community amenities like the Kew Gardens Tennis Club, my guests remarked on the accessibility of Toronto’s waterfront.
A Day at the CN Tower
After a gourmet dinner, we geared up to visit the CN Tower the following day. With no lines on a Tuesday, we took the 58-second elevator ride to the Look Out Level, enjoying the panoramic views of Toronto. Standing on the Glass Floor, 113 stories above the ground, was both thrilling and unnerving. My guests were amazed by the city’s green spaces visible from above.Our day continued with a visit to the Steam Whistle Brewery, located in the historic John St. Roundhouse. We enjoyed a taste of Toronto’s premium pilsner and admired the beautifully renovated industrial architecture. I returned to work after this, while my visitors explored the St. Lawrence Market and Eaton Centre, capping off another fantastic day in Toronto.
