Toronto - Late spring, early summer and autumn are the most pleasant walking months in the city—and this is a walkable city. September, one of the loveliest months of the year, is also packed with the Toronto International Film Festival fêtes and a spate of other weekend festivals. If you plan travelling during these times I would suggest you book your accommodation early otherwise you may have difficulty finding a place to stay.
