Toronto is the Place to Go
Toronto is an incredibly diverse city. Kids in its school system speak more than 200 languages, and you’ll find a Little Italy, a Little India and a Greektown, not to mention several Chinatowns. You’ll also find amazing restaurants, sandy beaches, quiet river valleys and first-class shopping. If you’re a sports fan, Toronto is the home of the Blue Jays (baseball), Maple Leafs (hockey) and Raptors (basketball). Here are some highlights.
Casa Loma is a castle-like home overlooking downtown.
Must-See Sites
The CN Tower has been a downtown mainstay for more than half a century. Take a walk on its glass floor, or, if you dare, lean back more than 350 meters over the city while harnessed to the building by sturdy ropes. The Hockey Hall of Fame is a mecca for fans. The Art Gallery of Ontario has beautiful local art and a wonderful addition designed by Toronto-born architect Frank Gehry. At the Royal Ontario Museum, you’ll find everything from soaring dinosaur skeletons to Chinese sculptures. The Bata Shoe Museum, which regularly displays over 1,000 shoes that represent more than 4,500 years of history, is a gem.
Casa Loma is a lovely, castle-like home on a hill overlooking downtown with stunning gardens. The sprawling Toronto Zoo is a great place to take the kids and has indoor pavilions for winter. Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada also is good year-round and boasts a clear tunnel you can walk through and be surrounded by sharks. New City Hall’s curved, twin towers and the reflecting pool make for a nice photo, as does the illuminated Toronto sign. St. Lawrence Market has been voted one of the top urban markets in the world. Look for fabulous food, including chewy, Montreal-style bagels and peameal bacon (sometimes called back bacon) sandwiches.

Fun Pockets to Explore
Kensington Market was once a thriving Jewish community, then a popular base for Irish, Caribbean and Asian immigrants. Today it’s a melting pot, with food from every corner of the world and vintage clothing stores filled with racks of treasures. The Yorkville district was once filled with coffee houses and clubs where the likes of Joni Mitchell and Neil Young played but now has given over to Gucci, Chanel and others. The shopping area on Bloor Street West is sometimes called “The Mink Mile.” Holt Renfrew is a glitzy department store with high-end couture. Sushi Masaki Saito is the only restaurant in town to win two stars in the city’s first Michelin guide. The Distillery District features glorious industrial architecture, great restaurants, galleries and shopping.
Parks and Recreation
Toronto boasts kilometers of great beaches along Lake Ontario. Pretty Ashbridges Bay features dozens of beach volleyball courts and protected swimming areas. The Toronto Islands are easily reached by public or private ferry and offer an idyllic place to walk, cycle or picnic. You also can rent canoes or kayaks and ply quiet waterways. The city views are sensational, and there are a couple of fine cafés for a meal or a drink. The city’s massive river valley system includes lengthy bike and walking trails amid thick forests of maple, oak, birch and pine trees. High Park is famous for its flowering cherry trees in spring.
