We’ll be spending 2 long weekends in Toronto dropping and picking up someone at the airport. I’ve looked at several guides and trip reviews but I’d like suggestions from people who are really familiar with the city. If we are looking to experience two different parts of the city, primarily on foot, which neighborhoods do you recommend? We’re not into clubbing or nightlife but we enjoy pretty much anything else - shopping, eating, museums, nature, etc.

I would probably stay in the downtown core, somewhere between Front Street to the South and Queen Street to the North. Yonge St is the East-West 'center' of the city, though I feel like there are more hotels West of Yonge than East of Yonge. You'll find the standard Hiltons, Sheratons, etc. in this area. The Royal York on Front Street is a glamorous old city landmark (though the guest rooms themselves can be dated) and directly across the street from Union Station, which makes accessing public transit easy when you need it.

The TTC (bus/subway/streetcar) system has a fantastic app that you can put in where you are and where you want to go and it will give you all the stops/transfers you need to get where you are going.
The Distillery District is fantastic for food & shopping!
