The Kensington Market is a neighborhood of Toronto where many artists have a shop. It is known for vintage boutiques, art centers, delicatessens, and restaurants ranging from simple to very upscale.


Toronto is located on Lake Ontario. I took advantage of a day and walked along the waterfront. Unlike the other ports I visited in Canada, most of the boats here were in the water and not on land, so it didn't look quite as deserted ;) Nevertheless, amidst the idyll, I forgot that I was in a metropolis of millions...

There is also a Chinatown in this city, characterized by restaurants, grocery stores, and small souvenir shops.

The Art Gallery of Ontario has an exhibition space of 45,000 square meters, making it one of the largest art museums in North America. Unfortunately, it was closed on Monday.

In 1927, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, the so-called 'Princes' Gate' was built. The Prince's Gate is a monumental triumphal arch.

I watched a hockey game of the Canadian Marlies team in the Coca-Cola Coliseum one day. It was my first time, so I read a little bit about the rules on the internet so that I could understand them at least halfway ;) Surprisingly, I was able to follow the puck well, but I didn't figure out until the end of the game how the players are able to quickly go to the bench and be substituted. The game was regularly stopped and the loose ice was removed. The time was beautified with a lot of music and dancing mascots. There were a few fights of course, but everything turned out well in the end and the Canadian team won.

Finally, a few impressions of the city, including the famous CN Tower.
