Toronto at a glance

Toronto, the capital city of Ontario, is a vibrant, multi-cultural city that boasts of an incredible range of attractions and events. Perhaps its best known landmark is the world-famous CN Tower, a national icon and one of the world’s tallest buildings. Visitors rocket to the top at 15 miles per hour in a dizzying, 58-second elevator ride then enjoy 360-degree city views from the fine dining restaurant at the pinnacle. Visitors to Toronto can enjoy discovering the artwork and all the action in the boutiques, galleries, theaters and cafés of the pedestrian-only Distillery District, or hit the high-end boutiques on Bloor Street or at the Eaton's Centre. Later, they can take in world-class theatre, opera, symphony and more in the booming theatre district or head for the Beaches, the city’s popular lakefront neighborhood where sidewalk cafés, trendy restaurants and pubs welcome everyone from bohemian artists to financiers.
