Five things to love about Toronto

  • Shooting 1,100 feet into the air in the glass-floored elevators of the CN Tower
  • An evening of Canadian sport, watching the Toronto Maple Leafs play hockey at the Air Canada Centre
  • Dining on peameal bacon at World Famous, a sandwich shop in the St. Lawrence Market
  • Summer picnics at High Park, with its sweeping green lawns, small zoo and Lake Ontario views
  • Standing beneath Canada’s largest dinosaur skeleton in the Crystal wing of the Royal Ontario Museum

Dinosaurs and hockey

The Royal Ontario Museum leapt into the 21st century when it added the striking Crystal Wing, a trademark Daniel Liebeskind shard-like structure. Head inside Canada’s top natural history museum to stand in the shadow of a 90-foot Barosaurus skeleton. The nation’s favorite sport is celebrated at the Hockey Hall of Fame, which has displays of equipment and interactive hockey games.

Art and music

Immerse yourself in culture on your Toronto vacation, starting at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Designed by Canadian Frank Gehry, it features 73,000 works of art. The Entertainment District is home to Toronto’s top music venues. Don’t miss the ornate Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall, where the Toronto Symphony Orchestra performs.

Retail therapy

Spend an afternoon browsing the 285 shops of downtown’s Eaton Centre, a shopping mall near many Toronto hotels. Queen West is the place to find cutting-edge boutiques and the Bloor-Yorkville neighborhood is Toronto’s upscale shopping district. Here, Holt Renfrew and Hazelton Lanes fill their racks with Manolo Blahnik shoes and Armani suits.

Global cuisine

Sophisticated wine bars and restaurants line the streets of the Financial District. The aromas of Middle Eastern grilled meats and Asian spices fill the air in Cabbagetown, which offers a multitude of international restaurants. Look for creative flavor pairings and artistic restaurant design at bistros in Bloor-Yorkville.
