Largest city in Canada, fourth largest city in North America, 5.5 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, of which more than half are immigrants－this is Toronto, a modern, organized, plural city that embraces cultures of all the parts of the world.

Comprised of wide avenues and tall buildings that occasionally are next to Victorian architecture buildings, Toronto, Old York, is located on the shores of Lake Ontario, and is the capital of the province of the same name, Ontario. The city is very urbanized, has many options for restaurants, cultural festivals throughout the year and a mix of cultures and tolerance for differences so great that it makes us feel welcomed.

Toronto is a vibrant place, which has its happiest days during the summer, when people take to the streets, enjoy the sunny days, wear their blue shirts to cheer for the baseball team or simply enjoy the sun. In winter, the streets can feel a little empty, but part of that is illusion, as Toronto has the world's largest underground shopping complex, PATH. Underground and under a constant and pleasant temperature, there is a whole structure, which includes food courts and refined shops.

The CN Tower, one of Toronto's icons, is an unmissable, beautiful walk that allows you to admire the entire city from above. The landscape is wonderful and those who are not satisfied with seeing it only from the viewpoints can take advantage of the trip to take a walk around the outside of the tower, at 365 meters high! Walking through the large blocks of Downtown is a classic program that takes you to the main tourist attractions, among them Yonge-Dundas Square, the main square of the city and full of movement, the Eaton Center shopping center, the Steam Whistle brewery, the St Lawrence Market, a market with lots of delicious things to eat, and the bohemian Distillery District.

The Toronto City Pass is a combo that entitles you to enter 5 tourist attractions in the city (CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum, Loma, Toronto Zoo and Ontario Science Centre) for a cheaper price than if the tickets were purchased separately. If you want to visit several of these places, it can be an advantageous purchase.

Walking is an excellent way to get to know Toronto, especially downtown, where some of its main tourist attractions are located. It is in the heart of Toronto that Yonge-Dundas Square is located, which, as they like to say, is the “Times Square” of Toronto. The square is surrounded by large advertising signs, always hosts events and is located at the intersection of Dundas St and Yonge St, the longest street in the world. There are several stores, as well as the Eaton Centre, a great shopping mall that gives access to the PATH, an underground trading system with almost 30 km in length. As it is very cold in Toronto, PATH, with its underground streets that have chains of stores, banks, restaurants and food courts, is a relief to be able to walk around and see different things without getting cold, since everything inside is heated.

If you're a sports fan, it's worth watching a baseball game at Rogers Centre, visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame, which tells the history of hockey and honors successful players. A short ferry ride across the lake will take you to the Toronto Islands, an archipelago with stunning scenery and beautiful sunsets. The place is great for cycling or to enjoy a day at the park. Another beautiful tour that definitely deserves a day in your itinerary is Niagara Falls, which is on the border between Canada and the United States. The adjectives do not do justice to the beauty of the place, go and see for yourself!

Interesting is that Toronto, despite being a large city and having a center quite full of attractions, preserves a tranquility and security that many places of this size do not offer. Comparisons with New York are inevitable, but Canada and Toronto are places that have their own identity, their way of life and endless beauties, starting with the people, who, very solicitous, exudes sympathy and are always ready to apologize for any reason.

Downtown Toronto is a very urban area, but you only need to step outside downtown to see natural scenery. One of them is Toronto Islands, an archipelago of Lake Ontario that is just a few minutes by ferry from downtown. The wooded islands have canals for kayaking, parks for picnics, bike paths, beaches and a great atmosphere for enjoying an outdoor activity. The place is charming, ideal for cycling and enjoying a sunny day, especially in summer.

A little further away, about 140 km from Toronto, is one of the most beautiful places in Canada and, for some people, one of the most beautiful places in the world: Niagara Falls! The waterfalls on the border between Canada and the United States are wonderful and, as they are close to the provincial capital, they fit perfectly into a day trip. When planning your trip to Toronto, reserve at least one day to visit this place! The waterfalls have an impressive water force, they have a water volume of 2,400 m³/s and one of them is 792 m long! Can you believe?

Toronto is a huge and sprawling city, but there's not much mystery when it comes to deciding where to stay; the answer is downtown! The city center, known as downtown, brings together the main tourist attractions, good restaurants and a lot of commerce, so it is an area where you can do a lot on foot or with quick use of public transport. If the focus of your trip is exploring the urban center, there is no need to rent a car, it is completely feasible to do everything on foot or with public transport.

Downtown Toronto is like a large quadrangle that concentrates several districts, and each one is known for having its own character. In Downtown, there is the fashion district, financial district, entertainment district and so on. Each of these places has its particularities and if they are similar to your objective on the trip, it is interesting to stay in their surroundings. If you want to be close to commercial buildings and banks, the financial district is indicated, if you prefer to be close to trendy or design stores, an option is the fashion district. Downtown is a place with diversity of transport and very safe, even at night.

Normally, city centers take us to very troubled places, full of people, traffic noise... In Downtown Toronto it's not always like that; the city is hectic, but as the center is large, it also has its quietest and least traffic points. Don't think that Downtown is a tiny place. The blocks in this region are large and walking from one side to the other can take a long time to travel. In addition to the tip if staying close to the points you are interested in visiting, try to stay close to a subway station or a bus stop, because this will make it easy to get out of Downtown or explore its surroundings with public transport.

For those who want to stay in the “buzz” of the city, close to Dundas-Yonge Square, a good option is the Marriott Toronto Downtown or the Bond Place Hotel. Another option for those looking for a central location is the Financial District, which has the luxurious Fairmont Royal York Hotel, and the Strathcona, Hilton Toronto and Novotel Toronto Center hotels, which are reasonably priced and in a great location.

In the Old Town region is the Hi-Toronto Hostel, a good option for those staying in hostels; on the Harbourfront is the Radisson Admiral Toronto; in the Entertainment District, there are accommodations such as Renaissance Toronto, InterContinental Toronto Center and Residence Inn by Marriott.

In Yorkville, an upscale neighborhood with luxury stores, you will find accommodations such as the Holiday Inn Bloor Yorkville and the Four Seasons at Yorkville.

Have fun!
