You may quickly plan a Toronto itinerary with this local guide, which includes everything from some of North America's most excellent museums and art galleries to entertaining Toronto activities for people of all ages:

DAY ONE:

If you arrive early, start your first day with breakfast at Fran's Diner on the North West corner of the College Subway station. Fran's is a well-known Toronto restaurant that only closes for 6 hours a year, making it an ideal site to begin your tour.

After breakfast, take College Street west to University Avenue. The Ontario Legislative Building is located in Queen's Park.

Take University Avenue north through Queen's Park to the Royal Ontario Museum. The ROM features one of Canada's most significant fossil collections and frequently hosts fantastic special exhibits for the entire family.

You'll probably spend the rest of your morning here because there's so much to see.

Visit Yorkville for lunch and explore the streets of this affluent neighborhood. Several excellent restaurants serve Italian and Indian food.

Afterward, proceed to the CN Tower at Union Station and Roundhouse Park. Take in the sights of Toronto from one of the world's tallest towers.

Take the glass-front elevator to LookOut Level, where you can enjoy panoramic city views from the observation deck. There's so much to see that you'll probably spend the rest of your morning here.

Visit Yorkville for lunch and explore the streets of this affluent neighborhood. Several excellent restaurants serve Italian and Indian food.

The Canadian Train Museum and Steamwhistle Brewery are located across from the CN Tower. Ripley's Aquarium is also close. You'll have enough to do for the remainder of the afternoon.

In the evening, take King Street West north to the Entertainment District. There, you will find several culinary options and entertainment for the entire family.

DAY TWO:

Begin your second day in St Lawrence Market, one of the world's most famous markets. Almost everything here is delicious and worth trying.

National Geographic has repeatedly named it the finest market in the world!

After breakfast, go down Spadina Avenue and College Street to Chinatown and Kensington Market.

Toronto features one of the world's largest Chinatowns, and Kensington Market is a distinctive and innovative counterculture neighborhood. There are several stores and bakeries to explore.

After that, proceed south to Queen Street West, then west.

Queen Street, one of Toronto's most recognized streets, is home to some of the world's top boutique shopping and independent retailers.

The Art Gallery of Ontario on Grange Street is just a short walk away if you wish to see the Ontario collection of Aboriginal artworks and Group of Seven Paintings.

There are plenty of excellent lunch options along Queen Street West; alternatively, return to Kensington Market for foreign fare.

Visit Yonge-Dundas Square, Canada's Times Square, in the afternoon. If you want to shop, the Toronto Eaton's Center provides something for everyone.

In the evening, dine at El Cantina or Mill Street Brewery in the Distillery District, rich in art and historic structures.

DAY THREE:

Brunch near your East York flat. In that area, I definitely recommend Lady Marmalade or Maha's.

After that, take the Queen Streetcar to the ancient city hall. Right around the corner, you can also see the new city hall. Take Bay Street south until you reach the shore.

Follow the harbourfront route to Fork York to learn about Toronto's history.

When the you're ready for lunch, head to one of the fantastic eateries along the harbourfront. Both the Amsterdam Brewery and Boxcar Social have lovely terraces.

After lunch, take the ferry from the Toronto ferry terminal to the central island. The Jack Layton Ferry Terminal is located at Lakeshore Boulevard and Bay Street, and you can reach it by using the Lakeshore streetcar.

The Toronto Islands have a lot to offer, including beaches and an amusement park, and are ideal for a day of family fun in Toronto.

When you arrive, consult the map and either stroll or bike around the islands.

Swim on Lake Ontario if the weather permits. Spend the afternoon here before returning after nightfall.

In the evening, the island has many excellent eateries. Take shots of the Toronto skyline as the sun sets; this location is excellent.

Three days in Toronto will give you a taste of this lovely North American metropolis and let you determine what else you might like to do on future visits.
