I have a post type /city/ .. lets say i create a city called toronto with the slug toronto-canada.

now i have /city/toronto-canada/

is there a way i can have more paths for each post in the custom post type added dynamically?

for example when i make the toronto post there should be a path that is: /city/toronto-canada/stores and /city/toronto-canada/things-to-do

pretty much just a defined url for each post /city/toronto-canada/whatever

Yes you can do this with a custom rewrite. I am doing the same for a custom post type, in my case profile.

So my URL = domain/profile/some-custom-slug.
Dynamically I create /meet-me behind it, so it becomes domain/profile/some-custom-slug/meet-me.

The real address of the contact page is domain/profile/some-custom-slug/?meet=true (or something else unique).

function wpse343933_todo() {
    add_rewrite_rule( 'city/([^/]*)/(things-to-do)/?$', 'index.php?post_type=city&name=$matches[1]&subpage=$matches[2]', 'top' );
}
add_filter( 'init', 'wpse343933_todo', 1, 3 );

The code should be placed in functions.php.

Now we've only made the address 'reachable', but it shows the singular post.

In your singular.php you need to add an if statement to 'catch' this new variable.

The code for this is real easy:

if ( true == get_query_var( 'meet' ) {
    // output content for this particular 'sub page'
} else {
    // output content for the 'normal post'
}

I think this should do the trick.
