Treat yourself to some retail therapy.

Visit Yorkville for high-end designer labels and accommodating sales staff. Prada, Gucci, and LaCoste all have boutiques in the neighbourhood, while Holt Renfrew is the haute couture department store. For a more bohemian vibe, visit the shops in Kensington Market. It’s an eclectic mish-mash of vintage clothing stores, fruit stands and restaurants. If you want a Toronto-style farmers’ market experience, browse the never-ending aisles of St. Lawrence Market.

Downtown or uptown?

Yonge Street is located right on the edge of the Village. It’s a bustling hub of activity where street fashion shares space with campy souvenir shops and record stores. While on Yonge, you’ll want to stop in at the Toronto Eaton Centre, one of the city’s biggest and busiest malls. Or if you want to experience shopping on a huge scale, head north of the city to Vaughan Mills to find everything from Holt Renfrew’s Last Call Store to Bass Pro Shops’ Outdoor World to Calvin Klein Underwear.
