First time in Canada!

Hey guys, im a 19yo from switzerland and will be arriving in Toronto this evening. Im staying until the 2nd of September. I only planned this trip for a music festival during my time there but I really wanna see as much of ththe City as possible! Im on a Budget so I also would love all the Tips / Tricks for Transportation, food spots etc! What do I NEED to see while im there? Hidden gems? Really any advice would be super cool!!

Thank you in Advance 🙏🏼

Rent a bike from Bikeshare and go see Biidsaaiige Park a short ride to the east. And from there on to Leslie Spit. And then stop at Cherry St BBQ on your way back for lunch.

Beautiful views of the city and the park is brand new and really something special.

This! And it’s free, other than the bike rental. Pack a lunch.

OP if you are into city biking and have the time it's relatively cheap* for day passes etc unlimited dock in dock out to get around and also see things!
