Travel probably won\u2019t be the same for quite some time. The coronavirus has made travel much more complicated. And when it comes to entertainment, lots of businesses have had to close or change their services. Nevertheless, there\u2019s still plenty to do in Toronto if you\u2019re visiting!<\/span><\/p>\n

In Ontario, the government has created a system of various stages to control the spread of coronavirus. In each stage, certain activities and businesses are allowed to operate, while others are not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As of September 2020, Toronto is in \u201cstage 3.\u201d In this stage, certain things aren\u2019t operating as normal, such as amusement parks, buffet restaurants, saunas, and bars. However, there are still plenty of businesses operating that promise a great time! Here are some ideas of some fun things to do in Toronto that are safe and, most importantly, open.<\/span><\/p>\n

Head to a Restaurant Patio<\/span><\/h2>\n

As of September 2020, restaurants are open with a few restrictions in place. If you\u2019re dining inside, there will be plastic partitions between tables, and you\u2019ll be asked to stay seated throughout your meal. However, if weather permits, sitting at an outdoor patio can feel pretty normal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spend an evening enjoying a meal and drinks at a restaurant like <\/span>Hemingway\u2019s<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>The Porch<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>Against the Grain<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get a Massage<\/span><\/h2>\n

While certain features of Toronto\u2019s spas are currently closed (such as saunas), you can still head to one of the city\u2019s masseuses. If you\u2019re travelling for business, this is a wonderful way to unwind, de-stress, and release some of those post-lockdown knots! Make sure to bring a mask with you as it will be required inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try a Socially Distanced Fitness Class<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the past few months, fitness studios have started to reopen around the city. Most studios that have reopened have had to cut their class sizes by quite a lot in order to allow for social distancing. Try taking a barre, yoga, or spin class to get a feel for the city\u2019s amazing fitness scene!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit an Outdoor Cinema<\/span><\/h2>\n

Indoor cinemas have reopened with smaller audience capacities. However, Toronto is home to a few excellent outdoor cinemas. Before the cold Canadian winter sets in, catch a film at an outdoor cinema.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
