Welcome to the most multiculturally diverse city on the planet! With over 140 languages spoken and some of the world’s finest restaurants. In warmer weather, the city blossoms into a vibrant and happening city buzzing with activities. During the colder winter months, there is much to see and do, as the city’s infrastructure is built to accommodate the extremes in climate throughout the year!

There is a lot to see and do here, we have chosen our personal favourites, to suit most visitors. Starting with an all-round crowd pleaser in Niagara Falls, a one hour drive away with regular tours departing from the city, this is a must. Possibly the most famous waterfall in the world, it is made up of three waterfalls and is considered a geological wonder. It is a great place to visit to take in nature at its most powerful and enjoy some outlet shopping while you’re there too!

 

In the City itself, a dominant feature across the Toronto skyline is the famous CN Tower, among the tallest towers in the world. You can ascend the tower at varying heights depending on how much of a daredevil you are, from the lookout level with the glass floor or the highest perch, the SkyPod standing at 447 metres.

 

If you want to experience some of the more cultural activities on offer, don’t miss out on the Royal Ontario Museum, with an impressive collection of cultural and historical artefacts. The National Ballet of Canada, with regular performances and a museum, you can also attend a class or two from classical Ballet, to Barre and Pilates classes.

 

The Distillery District is a trendy pedestrian neighbourhood, home to trendy shops, art galleries and great eateries and watering holes. Pay a visit to the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres, they are the only double tiered theatre complex in North America, located in the Distillery District. On a visit to the neighbourhood why not pop in to check out one or all three of the stages.

 

There are lots of options for shopping, to immerse yourself in a Torontonian experience, a visit to St. Lawrence Market and Kensington Market are a must. At St. Lawrence Market, there is a variety of culturally diverse food vendors and craftsman selling items made in Nepal to Peru. Kensington Market is more of an eclectic bohemian market, an aspiring Canadian version of London’s Camden Town.

 

 

There is a lot to see and do in Toronto, no matter what time of year you visit. In the summer months, you can enjoy sitting by the lake and exploring the islands. In winter, you can experience a live Hockey Game, go ice skating at Nathan Philips Square or gorge on food at the 2 week festival, Winterlicious. No matter your gastronomical preferences, you can be sure to find something to satisfy your desires in this city!
