Share
On the northern shore of Lake Ontario, near the US border, lies Canada’s largest city.
Toronto is the capital of the province of Ontario and is a major economic and cultural center for the country.
Founded as York by the British in the late 1700s, Toronto is now a proudly Canadian city and nearly six million people call the Greater Toronto Area home.
The Megacity attracts people from all over the world and neighborhoods such as China Town, Greektown and Little Italy are just some examples of Toronto’s diversity.
CN Tower Toronto
Nearly everywhere you go, you can catch a glimpse of the city’s iconic CN Tower, one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
Art Gallery of Ontario
Architecture meets art in the Art Gallery of Ontario, designed by the groundbreaking Toronto-born architect Frank Gehry, who used to visit the original gallery as a child.
Casa Loma
No less impressive, but from a different era altogether, is the elegant hilltop castle Casa Loma. It was dreamt up a century ago by the ambitious Sir Henry Pellatt, whose family motto was “Foremost If I Can”.
This motto perfectly reflects the spirit of the Torontonians, in what is nicknamed “the City that Works”.
Edward Gardens and High Park
The entrepreneurial Canadians also know how to relax. Take a stroll in one of Toronto’s many green spaces, such as the Edward Gardens and High Park. Families, couples, and students share the botanical displays with the curious chipmunks.
Distillery District
Near the waterfront, Toronto’s rejuvenated distillery district mixes the old with the new in a tasteful way.
Royal Ontario Museum
One of the most striking contemporary twists to a historic building bis the design of the Royal Ontario Museum.
Browse the galleries with artifacts of Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples and depictions of the country’s past.
Then see artworks from across the globe and explore the nature exhibits.
Canada Square Toronto

Saint Lawrence Market, in the heart of the Old Town, is the best place to go for fresh produce.
