Located in the heart of Toronto, Kensington Market is the city's beating heart, and a must-visit after your Boston to Toronto flight. Imagine all of the beauty and excitement of Toronto's world-renowned diversity compressed into a single neighbourhood.

During Pedestrian Sundays when the streets are closed to all traffic, Kensington feels even more like a flea market in a far off tropical city with its charming combination of old world and new. No condos or high rises creep up onto the edges of this culturally rich community, which also features Toronto's most unique and authentic eateries, not to mention some of the city's finest people watching opportunities.
