Victoria College Arched Alleyway
Find this photo-worthy spot at Victoria College at 73 Queen’s Park Cres., just above Queen’s Park. The gorgeous arched alleyway and vine-covered walls will give your photo a rustic feel so wear something nature-inspired!
Convocation Hall
This beautiful building doesn’t have to just be for ceremonies and lectures! The towering pillars and circular shape are reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum and can offer a very bougie vibe to any photo. Convocation Hall is located at 31 King’s College Circle.
Bamboo Forest
Did you know there’s a bamboo forest in Toronto? Well, you can find it at 160 College St. in the Terrence Donnelly Centre For Cellular and Biomolecular Research building.
