Ever creeped someone's Instagram and thought, "Gee, I wish my Insta was this fire"? Be the change you want to see and start taking those ? shots yourself. You don't need to have a fancy camera to take all those nice photos.
Step up your Insta game this summer and make the most of the warm weather. Whether you're taking scenic shots or OOTDs, here are some Toronto spots you should go and take photos at this summer.
1. Graffiti Alley
Hit up Graffiti Alley for artsy background galore. Just try to avoid the touristy selfie shots.
2. Toronto Islands
The perfect place to get a gorgeous skyline view. With a little nature peeking in, it's the perfect summer aesthetic.
3. Chinatown
The aesthetic of Dundas and Spadina is just so different from the rest of the downtown core. You could take those infamous silhouette shots in front of all the neon storefront signs here.

4. HTO Park
The yellow umbrellas are so vintage. Add a vintage filter over it and you've got yourself a sweet Insta.
5. Blue Jays Game @ Rogers Centre
Whether or not you're an actual Jays fan, an Insta at a game will make you the ultimate Torontonian (but not really).
6. Casa Loma
With all the pretty flowers, Casa Loma actually looks like it came right out of a fairytale.
7. Sugar Beach
This will look so cute on your Instagram.
8. Church-Wellesley Village
