Best shopping spots in Toronto

Toronto shopping — markets, boutiques and the streets worth a Saturday

Where to shop in Toronto, sorted by occasion: heritage markets for the bargain hunters, modern boutiques for the considered purchase, and the malls where you can hide from monsoon while still browsing. Edited for travellers who'd rather take home one good thing than fifteen forgettable ones.

Toronto shopping, three ways

There's the bargain-hunt shopping — the heritage markets and street fairs where you go for the experience as much as the purchase. There's the considered purchase — designer boutiques and curated stores where the price is the price. And there's the practical run — malls when you need things in one stop. We've split the list along those lines.

Bargaining etiquette

At heritage markets in Toronto, prices are usually negotiable — start at 50–60% of the quoted price and meet at 70–75%. Cards are widely accepted but small cash helps at street stalls. Boutiques and malls are fixed-price; bargaining there is awkward at best.

Shipping things home

Most premium boutiques in Toronto can ship internationally — quoting 5–10 business days to the US/UK at standard, faster for express. GST refunds for tourists are available on purchases above set thresholds; the store will handle the paperwork on request.
