Eastern Canada- Toronto

Urban excitement on the shore of Lake Ontario

Few cities in the world can rival Toronto for its diverse neighbourhoods, annual festivals, thriving music scene, acclaimed museums, vibrant markets and restaurants with food from all corners of the world.

The city’ s most prominent attraction is the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the western hemisphere. Here also is EdgeWalk, where you can don a harness for a thrilling hands-free walk around the outside ledge of the tower- definitely not for the fainthearted! Standing at 1,815 feet tall and designated as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, this engineering marvel is a Canadian icon.

In Old Town Toronto you’ ll want to pop into St Lawrence Market, ranked by National Geographic as the world’ s best food market. Check out Kensington Market, a walkable, shoppable, dine-able neighbourhood showcasing Toronto’ s multi-cultural history.

The Distillery Historic District is regarded as one of Toronto’ s most picturesque sites with its cobblestone laneways and Victorian era buildings. It was Toronto’ s first distillery but today the jigsaw of industrial warehouses is home to high-end boutiques, art galleries and artisanal food haunts. Another great shopping spot is the Toronto Eaton Centre, which has over 330 shops and eateries to satisfy every style and wallet. If luxury labels are your scene, head to Yorkville, a small but jam-packed slice of extravagance with an abundance of gourmet restaurants and designer boutiques along with engaging art galleries and museums.

Check out also the Evergreen Brick Works, where heritage buildings have been transformed into a global showcase for green design and award-winning public space. Perhaps stroll down Toronto’ s graffiti alley, an ever-changing open-air art gallery that runs parallel to Queen Street West or pop into the Royal Ontario Museum or Art Gallery of Ontario.

Whatever cuisine you crave you’ ll find it in Toronto, thanks to its dynamic food scene. From craft breweries and lively sports bars to laid-back hangouts and MICHELIN starred restaurants, plus lots more besides, the flavours of the world are dished up in Toronto.
