Looking for a quick weekend trip to hang on to the end of summer? Try Toronto.

Open-minded by nature, and diverse to a fault, this multi-faceted city is built on fusion. Food, people, activities and neighborhoods are all hybrids of many other things that make this city so unpretentious and creative.

If you go next weekend, September 17-19, you’ll be there for the last three days of the Toronto International Film Festival. Even if you don’t have tickets to enjoy the event, you can still take advantage of the street festivals, music performances, and exhibitions around the area. Sample multicultural food, shop in open markets, and jog around natural green areas.

If you book two nights at Sutton Place through hotels.com, you’ll save 20 percent, and instead of paying $221 a night, you’ll pay $176. Situated near the University of Toronto and Downtown, the hotel is steps away from fun attractions and gourmet dining. If you plan on taying in for dinner though, Sutton Place has Accents Restaurant and Bar. For fitness buffs, check out the indoor pool and fitness center.

All you need now is a cheap flight to Toronto – search and compare to find the best deals.
