Amid all the soaring glass towers and grand old buildings is a city that beckons to be strolled, seen and savoured. Follow the sandy shore of Lake Ontario to the area called The Beaches and amble along the boardwalk or alternatively take a wander around one of the city’s many pretty gardens.
Entertainment
Families will love the activities on offer at the Harbourfront Centre and delight in the Centreville Amusement Park, a turn-of-the century town with rides, restaurants and shops.
Culture vultures are well catered for with a huge range of museums and galleries. The Black Creek Pioneer Village, depicting life in the Edwardian era is a must while Canada's largest museum, The Royal Ontario Museum, is also well worth a visit.
When it comes to shopping, Toronto has it all - from international fashion houses and renowned Canadian designers, to quaint antique stores, suburban shopping centres and factory outlet malls, not least the 300 shops of The Eaton Centre.
Eating & Drinking
By night Toronto comes alive with a myriad of superb restaurants, bars and nightclubs, set against a stunning backdrop of glistening skyscrapers.
Toronto is a place where your taste buds can literally tour the globe without ever leaving the city. Be transported to the Orient in downtown Chinatown. Pull up a chair at a sidewalk café in Greektown where the air is spiced with lemon, garlic and oregano or sip an espresso in Little Italy.
The most popular area for bars and clubs is in the heart of the city centre, slightly west of the Financial District, around the Theatre District on King and Queen Streets. Little Italy also offers some Italian-flavoured bars and clubs that tend to attract a cooler, more refined crowd while Greektown offers a choice of bars offering a Mediterranean festive feel. Local pubs and bars playing a hockey or baseball game on TV can be found almost anywhere and are great spots for a plate of chicken wings and a beer.
The surrounding area - Niagara
To more than 12 million annual visitors, Niagara is spellbinding. With the awe-inspiring spectacle of Niagara Falls, over 40 world-class golf courses, more than 70 award-winning wineries and over 200 kilometres of spectacular cycling and hiking trails, the Niagara region is truly magical.
For hundreds of years, the wonder of the Niagara Falls has lured visitors from all over the world. Today, the Niagara region is a world class destination, with activities to entertain and amaze visitors of all ages.
Nature has left an indelible mark on the Niagara region. The Canadian Falls, with a height of 54 metres (177ft), and the American Falls, at 56 metres (184ft) high, are true wonders of nature.
Niagara is 20 historical museums, two reconstructed forts, and the historic charm of Niagara on the Lake.
