Harbourfront
The Toronto Harbourfront might be something of a tourist mecca but that doesn't mean locals don't find reasons to pay an occasional visit. Recent waterfront revitalization has helped matters. As an alternative to sneaking into the pool at the Radisson Hotel, HTO Park's stylish yellow umbrellas now act as something of a draw. There's also the summer festivals at Harbourfront, ongoing exhibitions at the Power Plant and the all important ferry terminal providing access to the Toronto Islands, home to car free living, bike paths, a nude beach and some of the city's best summer music festivals.
