Recommended Model Course for Toronto & Niagara Falls!
This time, I visited Toronto, located on the eastern side of Canada!
Although not the capital, Toronto is the largest city in Canada. Since I had some free time while visiting a friend, I decided to take a bus about two hours south to see the famous Niagara Falls!
✅ Exploring Toronto
Start your day with breakfast 🥞
I grabbed a sandwich from a Korean toast shop near my hotel 🥰 Instead of eating there, I hopped on the subway and headed to Union Station. That’s right! I went to see the CN Tower!
A short walk from the station brings you to Olympic Park. This park is a charming spot to enjoy breakfast, and it’s absolutely adorable 🥰
The park is filled with flowers, and the view of the majestic CN Tower from there is breathtaking! You can also get closer to the flower beds for some stunning photos 📸
(I’ve hidden the flowers in my photos so you can experience the beauty firsthand when you visit ☺️)
Next, I visited a dessert shop called Beaver Tail, a Canadian favorite for over 50 years! As the name suggests, they serve large chocolate-fried pastries shaped like a beaver’s tail. Take a big bite 😊😊 If it’s your first time, don’t forget to ring the bell 🔔♪
After that, I headed to St. Lawrence Market, a famous market in Toronto. Here, you can buy and taste a variety of items, from Canadian-made cheeses and hams to seafood and souvenirs! Chat with the vendors and try some local delicacies 😊
🕰️ Hours: 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (Tuesday–Sunday)
Closed on Mondays! Be sure to double-check the hours before you go!
As evening approached and I started to feel tired, I decided to end the day at the famous TORONTO sign! In summer, the sign appears to float on water, while in winter, the area transforms into an ice-skating rink ❤️
It’s fascinating how it changes between seasons. I’d love to visit in winter too!
✅ Exploring Niagara Falls
There are several ways to get to Niagara Falls!
I took a bus from my hotel, but you can also book a tour or catch a bus from Union Station, Toronto’s largest station.
The bus ride to Niagara takes about two hours. The town of Niagara itself is lively and glamorous, with its casinos adding to the charm.
From the casino, it’s about a 10-minute walk to a great photo spot 🥰 My recommendation is right in front of Queen Victoria Park!
This spot offers a view of both waterfalls simultaneously and is just a 10-minute walk from the Canadian side’s boat tour dock—a prime location 🤭❤️
Find your favorite spot to enjoy the view!
※ About the Boat Tour
The boat tour, available during the summer, takes you right to the base of the falls! Normally, boats depart every 15 minutes, but unfortunately, one was under maintenance during my visit, so departures were every 30 minutes.
I couldn’t catch the return bus and missed the tour 😢
I recommend purchasing your tickets and checking the boat tour schedule first, then exploring other spots while waiting for your tour time!
Also, be prepared to get soaked on the boat 😂 Even in summer, the casino and buses are air-conditioned, so make sure to bring a change of clothes!! ⭐️
