City break in Toronto, Canada

Toronto Beyond the Skyline. Through the eyes of Carolina Machado —who explored the city with curious calm during a six-month stay, observing everyday life— this travel guide invites you to discover the most human and creative essence of the great Canadian metropolis. A tour designed for those who travel with sensitivity, among cafes, architecture, art, and neighborhoods that tell stories.

Toronto unfolds in heights, art, and neighborhood life. Between the observation decks of the CN Tower, the contemporary art of Queen West, the bohemian streets of Kensington Market, and the peaceful lakefront parks, this guide offers a different way of seeing the city: with less rush and more depth. A trip that fits both on an extended route from New York and Niagara Falls and as a short getaway on its own.

Experience Toronto with all five senses

The steam of coffee on a cold morning, the murals that color the facades of Ossington, the echo of the tram on Queen Street, the smell of freshly baked bread at a Sunday brunch: Toronto is rhythm, mix and texture.

Its cultural diversity pulsates around every corner. Here, the everyday becomes extraordinary: a jazz club tucked behind a barbershop, a restaurant fusing Caribbean and Asian flavors, or a rooftop from which the sunset takes on a coppery hue. Toronto reveals its best side when the noise subsides.

In autumn, when the maples turn golden and the parks fill with crunchy leaves, the city breathes more slowly. It's easy to understand why so many travelers choose it not just as a destination, but as a turning point: a place to reconnect with calm amidst the hustle and bustle.

Thanks to Carolina, this guide brings us closer to a city rarely covered in travel guides. Its purpose: to help us experience it as it truly deserves to be experienced, mingling with its people and losing ourselves in its neighborhoods .

A curated selection of rhythm, art and atmosphere

The Le Periplo Weekender Toronto Guide brings together 115 recommendations designed to discover the city by zones—West, Central, East and the Islands—and also includes an alternative plan to Niagara Falls.

Each chapter in the guide is a slice of urban life: an afternoon of downtown museums, a trip to local markets, independent shops, and places where design, history, and community intersect.

Eating here is also a way of seeing: lobster rolls , poutines , butter tarts , craft cocktails or reinterpretations of French and North American cuisine that tell the cosmopolitan spirit of the city.
