May in Toronto
Downtown around Union and King is the most practical base: trains, the PATH underground network, the waterfront and the main sights within a walk. The Entertainment District and Queen West are where you stay to eat and go out, with a younger, busier street life. Yorkville is the quiet, polished choice for a more expensive, calmer trip, with museums and shopping close by but fewer cheap rooms.
