Queens Park Architectural GEM
The Queen's Park and Ontario Legislative Building in Toronto is a magnificent and historic landmark that everyone should visit. The beautiful park is a perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and soak in the sun, while the grand legislative building is a true architectural marvel.
Inside the legislative building, you'll be in awe of the stunning marble halls, ornate details, and elegant stained glass windows.

Swiss Chalet - Scarborough Town Center
Awesome dining experience at Swiss Chalet. My friends decided to have our Christmas dinner at this place after we had our Finals at Centennial College. The place had a nice view from outside and it really looks good inside. The place is not well lit or is not so bright to have that nice dining experience. The food is awesome and it was too much for me I had to bring home some.

The place is so nice to look at with the christmas set up and also the changing colors of the city hall. There were also lots of stalls prepared for christmas and people were able to go skating in the Nathan's Philip Square. People are just enjoying the ice and the nice weather.

It was Sunday, December 11 - my birthday. I decided to go downtown Toronto to celebrate my birthday and go to a church. I decided to check St. Michael's Cathedral because it said it is one of the must visit churches in Toronto. When I arrived I was impresses by the architecture from the outside and also when you get inside, the stained glasses are gorgeous! I was also very lucky because at 12 noon there was a mass.

Winter Village Distillery District TO
If you are looking for a Christmas market or bazaar at downtown Toronto, look no further and go to the Distillery or what is called the Winter Village. Some days are FREE some days you need to pay for the entrance (maybe weekends) We went there on a Tuesday so it's FREE. Lots of shops from clothes, souvenirs, food and restaurants and lots of places to get a good selfie and also picture. There is a very big Christmas tree with very beautiful lights. The place was actually sponsored by DIOR.

Liquor Control Board of Ontario-Midtown
I was strolling along Midtown Toronto and I can't help but notice this amazing architectural structure near a footbridge/small bridge with a christmas tree on top. This is one of the shops of The Liquor Control Board of Ontario where you can purchase wine, beer whisky and other stuff. They do not actually limit themselves with just Liquor but MOST of their items are liquor. That is their specialty. The shop is huge as it includes the shop down the bridge or basement with lots of wine and also a gift shop since it is the holiday season.

Jollibee in Toronto, Canada
Every Filipino abroad craves for this fast food chain-Jollibee. Good thing they have branches in some areas in Canada so that we will not miss our opportunity. The chicken is so crispy and it is delicious when it is partnered with the gravy. This branch is near Yonge Dundas Square. It is also very convenient using Dundas Station.

Yorkville Village and Yorkville Town Hall
I went to Yorkville to see the village square now surrounded by very tall buildings. After going to the Toronto Public Lobrary at Yonge Street, I went to another public library in the village square. Also the Yorkville Town Hall is already a Fire Station. The place still looks good and they have maintained the nice environment in Yorkville.

The Old Fort York - Fort York Armory
The old Fort York is just one part of the Fort York itself. It is like a military base for now. Nobody is allowed inside because there are real soldiers based there. I saw some of them when I was about to go jn but it said nobody is allowed inside. There is a tank placed outside to commemorate the death of the soldiers sent to afghanistan. It is also a good starting point for the walk going to the Fort.

Scadding Cabin Toronto 🇨🇦
The log cabin, Toronto's oldest known surviving house, was constructed by John Scadding in 1794 during the 1st years of British Settlement. Scadding was a government clerk and close friend of Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe. The cabin stood on the east side of the Don River on a 253 land grant that stretched from north of Lake Ontario to present day Danforth Avenue. Scadding lived there until he went back to England with the Simcoes in 1796.

CN Tower view from the Centre Island
When you see this view/picture you know that you are in Toronto or in Canada!
I have been in different places in downtown Toronto and I got some good pictures of the CN Tower. I am always looking for the spot where I can take a picture of the CN Tower that looks something like in the magazines, books or even what you see in movies. I went to the Toronto Port Area and could not get a good picture of the CN Tower. I also went to the Cherry Beach Area and still the same, the view of the CN Tower was not as good as what I see in books and magazines.
When I went to Toronto Islands, specifically Olympic Park place, I got a stunning view of the CN Tower! I stayed there for hours and it was amazing!
