Perhaps the best-known attraction is the CN Tower, one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, which pierces the Toronto skyline and offers uninterrupted views over the city and Lake Ontario. Test your nerve on a nail-biting Edgewalk or enjoy a Toronto sunset from the comfort of the revolving 360 restaurant.
Back on terra firma there is something to suit every interest – from the Art Gallery of Ontario to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Royal Ontario Museum is home to a permanent exhibition on Canada’s heritage, the ideal way to gain some context as you begin your Canadian holiday. Shopaholics can splash the cash at Toronto’s iconic Eaton Centre mall whilst the extensive Waterfront offers a wealth of shopping, dining and water sports.

In fact over 140 languages are spoken in Toronto, making it one of North America’s most cosmopolitan cities. Throughout the year a variety of festivals take place in the city, from winter celebrations to summer music, comedy and food events.
A boat trip on Lake Ontario to the picturesque Toronto Islands is highly recommended, providing a relaxing way to enjoy the city skyline and a tranquil contrast from the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto. The islands offer a choice of scenic beaches and picnic spots, as well as bike and kayak rental for those wanting something more active.
