Overview
Take a trip to Toronto on your Canada Vacation
Toronto is recognized as one of the most multicultural cities in the world with more than 250 ethnic groups represented in this modern, forward-thinking city. That diverse composition is reflected in everything from the music of hip-hop legend, Drake, to the gourmet fusion cuisine which takes chances and succeeds, in the Queer culture which is widely accepted and celebrated during Pride Week. The city is as vibey as the music emanating from sultry Richmond St. nightclubs well after dark or from the Four-Seasons Centre for Performing Arts where opera warbles and ballet symphonies soar within its modern walls housing gown-wearing T-Dot sophisticates sipping on Niagara wines.
Toronto restaurants compete fiercely to satisfy knowledgeable patrons of all backgrounds. The homemade gnocchi of Little Italy, the steaming Caldo Verde of Little Portugal, the buttery naan in Little India, or the tender dim sum of Chinatown, Toronto is the place for foodies of every fashion. The Harbourfront along the shores of Lake Ontario hosts everything from live reggae to glass-blowing workshops, and vegetarian food fairs to kayaking, rollerblading and dinner cruises.
There’s nothing cliched about a thrilling ride up to the top of the CN Tower where the view and the rush when you stand on the glass floor at the very top of the 553-meter symbol of Toronto makes it memorable. If the Blue Jays are in town, the retractable dome of the Rogers Centre is a great place to cheer for an underdog baseball team with a Molson Canadian in one hand and poutine in the other.
A trip to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) will draw you into painted scenes of Ontario’s wildness and might inspire you to drive up north where Torontonians flock on summer weekends. Muskoka’s lakes and forests are right out of a Group of Seven painting and Algonquin Provincial Park’s waters are so clear, you’ll be tempted to rent a canoe and dip your tin cup in the lake for a long draught.
