July 22, 2026

The beauty of summers in Toronto is that they can look and feel however you want them to. You might find yourself kayaking on Lake Ontario in the morning, eating your way through a food festival in the afternoon, and spending your evening at a concert or nightclub. Without slowing down momentum, you can experience the city without missing a beat.

Toronto might seem like an unassuming summer destination compared to tropical escapes like Costa Rica or sun-soaked European cities like Barcelona, but summers in the city prove it has plenty to offer. With winter still a while off, visitors and locals are taking full advantage of the city’s constant buzz.

Our 2026 insider’s guide to summer in Toronto will help you plan your visit like someone who already knows the city inside and out.

Getting Around the City

Toronto’s many public transit routes, rideshare options, and alternative ways to get around the city make it easy to get from A to B.

To get around the City of Toronto, hop on a relevant TTC bus, streetcar, or subway line. You can purchase a PRESTO card if you want a refillable card (and perks we’ll discuss later) or simply tap your debit or credit card on a reader. Alternatively, you can purchase a PRESTO day pass if you plan to be out and about. When you pay with PRESTO or a card, you won’t be charged another fare for transfers made within two hours of your first tap—just be sure to tap your card anyway for proof of payment.

Some other cities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), including Mississauga and Brampton,  will have other dedicated systems and/or fare prices.

Other options for more convenience or flexibility include rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, local taxis, car rental services like Enterprise or Turo, or Bike Share stations found dotted around the city.

Festivals and Major Events

There’s always something big going on in Toronto, so you’re likely to run into crowds of people and long lines at some point. Summer is seen as the perfect time to experience the city at full energy, with festivals and major events such as:

Food, Markets, and Summer Dining

Toronto is a rich mix of cultures, which is naturally reflected in the food as well.  Summer in Toronto calls for dining on patios, checking out markets, and spontaneous stops at food trucks and food festivals.

In the mood to discover trinkets and new flavours at a market? St. Lawrence Market is always a must-see staple, with its array of food merchants and artisans across two large floors. You’ll even find a Farmer’s Market and South Market with vintage goods to complement your foodie adventure. The Evergreen Brickworks hosts a farmers’ market every Saturday that introduces visitors to local Ontario farmers and producers. Other options include the vibrant STACKT Market for a more trendy feel or the Underground Night Market for $10 bites.

Food halls have also become mega popular in Toronto, perfect when everyone in your group is craving something different:

You’ll also find unassuming food courts and hubs such as:

  • The Village by the Grange (109 McCaul St.)
  • World Food Market (355 Yonge St.)
  • Hangout Street (181 Parliament)
  • The Liberty Village strip of restaurants is tucked away around 151 E Liberty St.

If your visit falls in July, the annual Summerlicious event is well worth participating in. Running from July 3 to 19, the event sees more than 240 restaurants serving specially priced three-course lunch and dinner menus.

Summer makes it simple to move from one landmark to the next.

A PRESTO card can sometimes provide discounts on tickets to attractions, museums, and activities.

Despite being a metropolitan city, Toronto is also full of outdoor spaces ideal for picnics or a well-deserved break from sightseeing. Some include Casimir Gzowski Park by Lake Ontario, High Park, Trinity Bellwoods Park, Trillium Park, the Toronto Islands, the Scarborough Bluffs, and Woodbine Beach.

You Need More Than a Hotel – A Refined Alternative to Airbnb

June 3, 2026

Suite @ 300 Front Street

Airbnbs were once positioned as the savvy traveller’s smart way to stay. But in recent years, people have become increasingly dissatisfied with the costs, cleaning fees, and difficult dispute-resolution process. It’s why more travellers are now exploring Airbnb alternatives in Toronto.

While the site still has its merits as a marketplace-style ecosystem, it’s not always the best solution for a stay that goes beyond just a few nights. Especially for people spending an extended period in the city or relocating, it can start to feel impractical. When you need a more stable and comfortable base, varying property standards and pricing fluctuations can complicate things.

Serviced apartments designed for longer-term stays can serve as an alternative to Airbnb in Toronto.

Why People Look for Airbnb Alternatives in Toronto

Airbnb became a popular choice for short visits in cities around the world, including Toronto. It opened up a wide range of listings across different budgets and travel styles, while providing more flexibility than traditional hotels.

As stays get longer, however, the experience isn’t as straightforward as simply picking your dates and showing up at the accommodation. Longer trips typically expose limited space and a lack of everyday comforts. 

Consistency is often the biggest challenge, where the quality and reliability of listings can fluctuate from one property to another. Then, there’s pricing, where extended reservations can become unexpectedly expensive when properties aren’t designed for extended living. Most Airbnb properties welcome short-term guests for a visitor experience, rather than daily living.

What People Want From Longer Stays in Toronto

Looking for accommodation in Toronto takes on a new dimension when you’re planning a longer stay. Instead of looking for a decent place to sleep, people often try to find setups that feel extra stable and comfortable. Most people want to know what to expect when they walk through the door, and don’t often want to deal with any uncertainties. For example, spaces that support everyday routines like cooking, working, and unwinding often trump decorative appeal.

Travellers want to avoid complexity and constant adjustments, and are increasingly looking for accommodation that feels straightforward and ready to live in as soon as they arrive.

Why DelSuites Is a Smart Choice for Longer Stays

Everyone has compared accommodation options before travelling to a new destination, but for longer stays, the decision is more nuanced. Short-term platforms have their purpose and can work well depending on the type of travel. The problem? They’re designed primarily around short-term travel.

DelSuites sits in a special category: one that’s not built around temporary visits. We focus on providing a more residential-style experience in Toronto as an Airbnb alternative for longer stays. Our emphasis is less on finding a decent place to stay and more on having a complete space that supports everyday living. With 16 fully furnished and serviced condominium locations in the GTA, we accommodate a wide range of guests.

When you choose DelSuites, you’re reassured by decades of experience in property management, and can enjoy top-of-the-line amenities like bi-weekly cleaning services, a fully equipped kitchen, recreational facilities, and 24-hour building security.

Airbnb vs. Hotel vs. DelSuites

To view the differences closely, we’ve created a side-by-side comparison of Airbnb, hotels, and DelSuites.

Category Airbnb Hotel DelSuites
Main Purpose Short-term stays marketplace with highly variable listings Short stays with full service and convenience Longer stays with a residential living experience
Living Experience Temporary/visitor-style stay Classic hotel rooms designed for quick visits Fully furnished apartment for everyday living
Consistency Varies by listing and host Standardized across brands Consistent, professionally managed suites
Functionality Depends on property, often limited Limited space with basic amenities A home-like setting designed for everyday routines 
Amenities Varies significantly Daily housekeeping services and amenities for guest convenience Residential-style amenities like en-suite washer and dryer and complete kitchen setup

Where to Stay in Toronto: Best Neighbourhoods for Short-Term and Extended Stays

April 22, 2026
best neighbourhoods in Toronto

Toronto, a vibrant and diverse metropolis, offers an array of neighbourhoods, each with its own distinct character. Whether you’re visiting for a few days or planning a more extended stay, the city provides short-term rental options ideal for vacationers and those relocating. These rentals allow individuals to experience different parts of the city, catering to families, business travellers, and solo guests alike. 

With unique cultural experiences and amenities at every corner, Toronto makes it easy to find a neighbourhood that suits your lifestyle and needs.

Is Toronto a Safe City?

According to the Crime Severity Index (CSI), Toronto ranks as the third safest city in Canada. This figure comes from data gathered between 2019 and 2023. Here’s more information on the city’s safety:  

  • It holds the 14th position on the statistics website Numbeo’s safety index for North American cities. 
  • There are relatively low crime rates, particularly in residential areas. 
  • A well-developed public infrastructure, efficient emergency services, and active community engagement further enhance safety. 

While general precautions should be taken, as with any major city, Toronto’s neighbourhoods remain secure and welcoming for newcomers and travellers. It’s also worth noting that driving in Toronto is generally safe, but some roads—especially wide, open stretches—tempt drivers to speed. 

Winter brings added challenges, as icy roads and heavy snowfall can make driving hazardous, sometimes burying cars overnight.

Let’s get started with our list of the best neighbourhoods for short-term and extended stays in Toronto.

A rapidly growing city offering both suburban comforts and a strong business presence.
