Local knowledge for Toronto
Where to stay
Most hostels cluster around Kensington Market and the Annex, both walkable to Spadina station on Line 2 and a short TTC ride from downtown. Staying near College Street or Dundas Street West keeps you close to cheap grocery options, independent restaurants, and a subway or streetcar connection without paying the premium of the waterfront or King Street West.
Getting around
- Get a Presto card at any subway station and load a day pass if you are making more than three TTC trips. Single fares add up quickly and the day pass pays for itself fast.
- St. Lawrence Market on Front Street East has affordable hot food stalls on weekday lunches and a Saturday farmers market. Prices there are a fraction of what you will pay anywhere near the CN Tower.
- The Art Gallery of Ontario on Dundas Street West offers free admission on the first Wednesday evening of each month. Verify current hours on their site before going, since seasonal schedules shift, but it is one of the better free options in the city.
When to go
Hostels fill up and rates climb from late June through September, when Pride, the Canadian National Exhibition, and TIFF land back to back. January through March offers the lowest prices, with the trade-off of genuine Toronto winter.
