In my recent jaunt to Toronto, Canada for the world’s biggest travel blogger conference, two things particularly impressed me about the city: its artsy funkiness, and its skyline.
This article will weave together the two elements in a confusing manner, so hold onto your brain. The artsy side shall be demonstrated by the hip storefronts from Kensington Market, Toronto. The city’s luminous skyline will be shown in photos from an evening boat ride out to Centre Island. Enjoy!
So what do you think? Are you surprised by the art and skyline of Toronto, Canada? For more boat-view fun, click here for photos from a skyline harbor cruise of my #1 favorite city!

I really enjoyed seeing your trip to Toronto, Canada. Its even feels like I lived the moments you had. I really loved all the artworks that you saw and Toronto's skyline lights as the sun sets. The best feature was the buildings lighting up at night to make the ocean glow. I cant wait to see more of your trips around the world.
