Description
Explore Toronto without planning every connection. Arnocular Toronto Essentials links 10 city highlights in a self-guided loop from Union Station. Use your smartphone for walking and public-transit route guidance, with audio narration and transcripts in English, French, German or Spanish. App navigation and instructions remain in English. Explore markets, neighbourhoods, the waterfront and landmark exteriors at your own pace, with no guide or group to keep up with. Allow roughly 3–5 hours: route travel is about 2½ hours, including about 1½ hours walking; exploring, meals and optional visits take additional time. The attraction list is alphabetical, not the visit order—follow the route in the app. This is an app-based experience, not a guided group tour. Public-transit fares and attraction admission are separate.
