Toronto Travel Information

Canada's biggest city is a thriving metropolis that is known around the world for its cultural diversity and vibrant arts scene. Toronto's cosmopolitan character and welcoming atmosphere are widely recognised and are in themselves some of the city's key attractions. Glistening skyscrapers line the waterfront and smoothly give way to vast green areas and to a plethora of ethnic neighbourhoods whose distinctive character and lively ambience can transport visitors to faraway lands.

But Toronto's charms extend further beyond its colourful neighbourhoods and impressive urban landscapes. The city enjoys a privileged location on the shores of Lake Ontario, one of the world's largest lakes and a compulsory stop for nature lovers, sports enthusiasts, and photographers. This makes Toronto a fantastic travel destination for virtually every traveller, as the city's natural and cultural heritage suits all interests, budgets, and travel preferences.

Toronto's modern origins can be traced back to the 18th century, when the city became the capital of Upper Canada and one of the most important commercial centres in North America. Throughout the centuries, the city continued to expand and to attract people from all over the world, enhancing the Toronto's reputation as a multicultural and diverse metropolis. The best time to visit Toronto is between May and late September, when the weather is at its best and there is a wide range of activities on offer (although there is something special about a winter break in this fascinating Canadian city).

Upon arrival in Toronto, the best way of getting acquainted with the city is by heading up to the top of the iconic CN Tower, the city's most representative landmarks. Get ready to be amazed by the splendid views afforded from the viewing platform! Other top-rated attractions include Little India, Chinatown, Little Italy, and the fabulous Kensington market. Endless shopping and entertainment options await you at the Distillery District, and if you'd rather explore the city's cultural life, you won't be disappointed by the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the Royal Alexandra Theatre. During the summer months, the waterfront becomes a bustling hub of activity where you will always find something interesting to see or do. This is also the starting point for ferry rides to the Toronto islands, and is the gateway to the city's urban beaches. Don't miss the chance of going on a boat cruise along the lake for spectacular views of the city's skyline.
