It's hard to believe that Toronto once had a reputation for being boring. Peter Ustinov once described it as: "New York run by the Swiss."
Now it's a thriving city of superlatives. Toronto is home to the world's tallest freestanding structure - the CN Tower. That stands next to the SkyDome, the first stadium with a fully retractable roof. And don't try walking the length of Yonge Street, at around 1200 miles it's the world's longest street.
There is no shortage of culture either. Only London and New York have more English-speaking theaters. It also has Canada's largest museum, the Royal Ontario, and the country's biggest university. That's not to mention over 7000 restaurants.
Many of those eating-places reflect the diverse ethnic population that makes up North America's fifth-largest city. More than half of the almost five million inhabitants are non-white.
When To Go
Summer's the time when you can be sure that all the attractions will be open. But, like many North American cities, it can also be pretty hot and sticky then. Spring and fall are more comfortable. Winters can be chilly. That said, many of the city's sights can be enjoyed without having to spend too much time in the uncomfortable outdoors.
