A short ferry ride away from Toronto, you will find Centre Island — the largest of Toronto's car-free urban spaces, and home to the Centreville amusement park (as well as numerous other outdoorsy activities). Toronto Islands boast the best views of Toronto's skyline: hit up quieter spots like Ward's Island for a leisurely coffee and to watch the sunset. This is the perfect journey to take in summer, when Toronto's festival culture is in full-swing. Stock up on picnic fare at St. Lawrence Market or Kensington Market — or hit up one of the global food tents that line the Harbourfront most weekends — before you hit the ferry.
