If you\u2019re planning a trip to Toronto for the first time, you may be wondering where to stay. The city is made up of quite a few distinct neighborhoods, each of which has its pros and cons.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the central area of the city, you\u2019ll find leafy residential streets lined with townhouses, beautiful homes, the University of Toronto campus, and the bright lights of the downtown area. In the east, you\u2019ll find wide-open green spaces, residential homes, and even waterfront hikes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few of the city\u2019s most popular neighbourhoods and what you can expect if you choose to stay in them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yorkville<\/span><\/h2>\n

This centrally located area is just north of one of Toronto\u2019s main streets\u2014Bloor Street. While the neighbourhood is close to the hustle and bustle of the city, it offers a much more quiet and tranquil atmosphere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a relatively upscale area, with pricier restaurants, bars, and shops. If you\u2019re looking for a neighbourhood that\u2019s close to Bloor St., but that offers a quiet, trendy way of life, Yorkville might be ideal for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Downtown and the Entertainment District<\/span><\/h2>\n

Downtown Toronto is usually considered to be located around the Yonge-Dundas Square area. This area is always bustling and is filled with shopping, offices, and skyscrapers. If you\u2019re travelling to Toronto for business, you may very well end up in the downtown area on a daily basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Downtown Toronto is conveniently located and has excellent transport links. Plus, if you\u2019re interested in shopping, eating out, or catching a movie or a play, it\u2019s ideal. However, it\u2019s not a particularly homely area, and it may get a little hectic for some visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Annex<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Annex is another central area in Toronto, located just west of its bustling downtown. The Annex is filled with student houses along with plenty of charming family townhouses. It\u2019s a slightly quieter, cooler area in comparison to both Yorkville and downtown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, you\u2019ll find plenty of affordable, hip restaurants, cafes, and bars, along with some interesting second-hand boutiques. If you like leafy, pretty streets, but still want to be close to the entertainment district or to the University of Toronto, the Annex is perfect for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Beaches<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Beaches is a little further out than the other areas we\u2019ve discussed so far. It\u2019s located in the east end of Toronto (on the east of the Don Valley Parkway).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Beaches are aptly named\u2014the area is known for its sandy waterfront walks, it\u2019s village-like feel, and it\u2019s intimate bakeries, cafes, and bistros. If you don\u2019t need to be close to the downtown area of Toronto, this east end paradise is quiet and charming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cabbagetown<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cabbagetown is a small, idyllic area in the west end of Toronto. While the Annex is on the west of the university, Cabbagetown is to the east. It offers a quiet, residential feel, along with lots of family-friendly restaurants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Highlights of this area include Allan Gardens and Riverdale Farm. If you happen to be travelling with kids, this area is perfect for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parkdale<\/span><\/h2>\n

This west end residential area is known for its inclusive, artistic spirit. You\u2019ll find colourful street art and a wide range of entertainment and restaurant options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This hip, laid back area is centered around Queen St W, which is filled with boutiques, vintage stores, and vegetarian eateries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Roncesvalles<\/span><\/h2>\n

Roncesvalles is west of the Annex. In the past few years, this area has become more and more trendy. These days, it\u2019s where you\u2019ll find some of the coolest wine bars and tapas restaurants in the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also find independent bookshops and cafes, as well as the city\u2019s huge High Park. This area is a little far out from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but it\u2019s easy to get around by streetcar or subway.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Danforth<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Danforth is the Main Street in Toronto\u2019s east end. It\u2019s a largely residential area with lots of young families. It\u2019s got lots of parks, easy-going restaurants, and idyllic side streets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this area is east of the Don Valley Parkway, simply hop on the subway to get back to Toronto\u2019s Entertainment District.<\/span><\/p>\n
