Meet like-minded people in Toronto
On your own in Toronto? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Toronto is a diverse, friendly city where solo travellers can explore global food, lakeside parks and lively neighbourhoods. The social vibe is welcoming and multicultural, with plenty of festivals in summer. Travellers gather in Kensington Market, Queen West and the Distillery District.
Meeting people in Toronto: what works
- Stay near Queen West or Kensington Market for social hostels and bars.
- Hang out in Trinity Bellwoods Park on summer weekends, a popular spot for picnics and meeting people.
- Take the ferry to the Toronto Islands for beaches, cycling and skyline views.
- Look for run clubs, climbing gyms and Meetup events, which are popular in the city.
Stay safe
Winters can be very cold, so dress in warm layers, and use the PATH underground walkway in winter to stay warm downtown.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
