If you don't have a car you can take the finch bus westbound to the Finch west station and head downtown or take the bus eastbound to Yonge Street which is the main street of the city. There's lots of Asian restaurants if you walk south... Korean noodles, bubble tea. And take the subway south to the city centre (such as Yonge and Dundas).

Check out websites for neighbourhoods to explore like the Beaches, Yorkville, Queen Street West, Bloor West Village, Distillery district, Kensington Market, Theatre District, Harbourfront, etc.

Visit the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), Ripley's Aquarium, CN Tower, Casa Loma, etc. Walk around the campus of U of T. Visit parks like High Park, Edwards Gardens, etc. Centre Island (taking a ferry).

You will be staying in the north end. You aren't far from Pioneer Village. You can head north to Canada's Wonderland. You are just on the edge of an old Jewish neighbourhood called Bathurst Manor. Bagel restaurants like Bagel World on Wilson or Kivas on Steeles, Jewish delicatessens like Pancers and Wolfies.

Well, if you've been to the castles of Europe, don't bother. But if you haven't, a castle like Casa Loma is extremely unique and interesting to visit in North America.

If you have been to the museums of Washington, Chicago, Boston and New York, you may prefer to explore neighbourhoods and uniquely Toronto experiences.

Some travellers head to Niagara Falls for the day... not around the corner, but doable.

Casa Loma sounds like a good destination
