Toronto Things To Do
CN Tower
No visit to Toronto dare miss the incredible elevator ride to the summit of the 1,800 feet CN Tower. It is the highest free standing building in the world and affords panoramic views that are truly breathtaking. Stay awhile and dine in the top floor revolving restaurant and savour a seemingly endless horizon of an eclectic modern city and beautiful lakeland countryside.
Historic Architecture
Essentially a modern city, Toronto has a surprising variety of architecture with many delightful historic sites. The austere City Hall and its art deco interior is a must for history lovers or visit the Distillery district and the Black Creek Pioneer Village which both feature beautifully restored Victorian terraced houses. For sheer architectural eccentricity nothing can compare to Casa Loma - a rich man's folly that wouldn't look out of place at Disneyland.
Museums
Toronto has several world class galleries and historical venues that will keep ardent art lovers busy for the whole day. There are an incredible 40,000 works of art to explore at comprehensive Art Gallery of Ontario and the Royal Ontario Museum can boast 40 separate rooms of classical art, archaeology and fascinating science exhibits.
Shopping
Toronto holds all the superlatives as a shopping destination and discerning fashion addicts and bargain hunters alike will find a Toronto city break full of temptation. First stop is likely to be the vast Eaton Centre - boasting 4 floors of department stores, boutiques and restaurants. There is even a 27 kilometre stretch of underground walkways filled with shopping arcades that even the weather cannot disrupt. Bargain hunters will make for bohemian Kensington Market or the many atmospheric gourmet farmers' markets in the city.
Beaches
It may come as a surprise to learn that balmy summer days can enjoyed on a number of idyllic beaches just minutes from the hectic city centre. Take a leisurely cruise to Centre Island for a relaxing day of sunbathing and water sports or further afield along the shores of Lake Ontario at hip and trendy Sandbanks.
City Tours
City breaks in Toronto with limited time should get acquainted with its sights and attractions on an enjoyable city tour. Guided walking tours are always a popular choice for visitors or see the city from an altogether different perspective with a short helicopter ride above the skyline. Fancy limo tours and harbour cruises are another enjoyable way to take in all that Toronto has to offer.
