During the warmer months, this is a prime location for corporate workers to eat their lunch and enjoy the streaming fountain and fresh air. When late Fall approaches, glowing trees dressed up in fairy lights brighten the outdoor space and make for some magical photos. Leading into the holiday season, this is a favourite location for locals and tourists to snap shots.<\/span><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.ca\/maps\/dir\/One+King+Street+West,+1+King+St+W,+Toronto,+ON+M5H+1A1\/Commerce+Court+North,+King+Street+West,+Toronto,+ON\/@43.6488134,-79.3808329,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb2d7d8255cf:0xd56ea11ca4f45721!2m2!1d-79.3781453!2d43.6488576!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb2d5edb12bb:0x5eb9c98a673fd6a!2m2!1d-79.3789999!2d43.6485344\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Distance from One King West Hotel &#038; Residence: 76m<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7344\" style=\"width: 474px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/beesquare.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"547\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Instagram @beesquare<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brookfieldplacenewsandevents.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Brookfield Place<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Brookfield Place\u2019s Allen Lambert Galleria, also known as the \u2018crystal cathedral of commerce\u2019 is another spot in Toronto\u2019s Financial District that totally transforms ahead of the holidays. This is one of the city\u2019s favourite architectural landmarks and no matter what time of year, it is a prime location to capture some great photos for your Instagram. Although, when winter comes around, Brookfield Place gets a makeover and is dressed up in what must be thousands of lights, hanging six-stories high from the roof of the atrium making it one of the best places to take photos in Toronto. It\u2019s quite the spectacle and something we look forward to every year to enjoy and snap photos of. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.ca\/maps\/dir\/One+King+Street+West,+1+King+St+W,+Toronto,+ON+M5H+1A1\/Brookfield+Place,+Bay+Street,+Toronto,+ON\/@43.6479733,-79.3797895,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb2d7d8255cf:0xd56ea11ca4f45721!2m2!1d-79.3781453!2d43.6488576!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb2d1abfe621:0xf842c45845a81324!2m2!1d-79.3773382!2d43.646887\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Distance from One King West Hotel &#038; Residence: 300m<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7363\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7363\" style=\"width: 478px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mindz.eye_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"584\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7363\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Instagram @mindz.eye<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gooderham_Building\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Gooderham Building<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">The Gooderham Building, or more commonly referred to as The Flatiron, is one of Toronto\u2019s most iconic buildings and definitely one of its most photogenic. If you\u2019re not camera savvy, that\u2019s not an issue! As long as you\u2019re looking at the structure from the East to the West, then all you have to do it point and snap. The stately architecture does the job for you and guarantees that professional photo suited for anyone\u2019s Instagram. With snow and the city lights, some of our favourite shots of The Gooderham Building are on a winter\u2019s night, making this location one of the best places to take photos in Toronto.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.ca\/maps\/dir\/One+King+Street+West,+1+King+St+W,+Toronto,+ON+M5H+1A1\/Gooderham+Building,+Wellington+Street+East,+Toronto,+ON\/@43.6486312,-79.3774056,18z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb2d7d8255cf:0xd56ea11ca4f45721!2m2!1d-79.3781453!2d43.6488576!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb2e018655a3:0x4ebb69c2786fb5cd!2m2!1d-79.3743841!2d43.6483384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Distance from One King West Hotel &#038; Residence: 400m<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7364\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7364\" style=\"width: 598px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jayeffex.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"598\" height=\"530\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7364\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Instagram @jayeffex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.toronto.com\/things-to-do\/attractions\/nathan-phillips-square\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Nathan Phillip\u2019s Square<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Nathan Phillip\u2019s Square has always been a happening city spot with non-stop foot traffic throughout the day and night but even more so as of recent with the installation of the glowing \u2018Toronto\u2019 sign which is a why it\u2019s a best place to take photos in Toronto.

Although the dates haven\u2019t been confirmed, we already can\u2019t wait for this light spectacle at the Distillery District! This is always one of the best places to take photos in Toronto year-round but even more so in winter. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.ca\/maps\/dir\/One+King+Street+West,+1+King+St+W,+Toronto,+ON+M5H+1A1\/The+Distillery+District,+Old+Toronto,+Toronto,+ON\/@43.6511913,-79.3732291,16z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb2d7d8255cf:0xd56ea11ca4f45721!2m2!1d-79.3781453!2d43.6488576!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d4cb3dc701c609:0xc3e729dcdb566a16!2m2!1d-79.35958!2d43.6503055!3e2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Distance from One King West Hotel &#038; Residence: 1.8km<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commerce Court One of the best places to take photos in Toronto, hidden amongst the Financial District skyscrapers is Commerce [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14855,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[118,117],"tags":[],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7336"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onekingwest.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
