Tours & Experiences in Toronto

Toronto is big, diverse and very easy to fill a day in. Head up the CN Tower, explore St Lawrence Market or take a trip to Niagara Falls, then return to Church-Wellesley Village when you’re ready for dinner, drinks and the evening crowd.


Gay friendly hotels in Toronto

Toronto’s Church-Wellesley Village remains the heart of the city’s LGBTQ+ scene, with gay bars, clubs and community spaces concentrated along and around Church Street. Staying in or near the Village means much of the nightlife is walkable, while Downtown gives you a wider choice of hotels and keeps Toronto’s major attractions close. GayMapper’s recommended gay-friendly hotels range from great-value options to landmark luxury stays, giving you plenty of choice whether the Village, sightseeing or a combination of the two is your priority.
