Toronto Overview By Rachel Newcombe  The largest city in Canada, Toronto is located on the northern shore of Lake Ontario, 566 feet above sea level. It’s actually one of the southernmost cities in Canada and is home to about 4.7 million people from over 100 different cultures. It’s therefore not surprising that the city has a very diverse, international feel and is buzzing with a vast array of cultural influences.
Toronto is packed with plenty to see and do, from theatres and galleries, to theme parks, museums and, of course, shopping. Highlights include the Harbour Front, Queen’s Quay, CNN Tower and Skydome. Getting around is easy, thanks to the TTC - buy a one stop transferable ticket you can use on subways, streetcars and buses. Alternatively, in Downtown Toronto, use PATH, the 27km underground walkway.
For a touch of history, take a walk around Old Town and spot fascinating examples of architecture. The original St. Lawrence Market is busy almost every day, but comes to life on Saturday’s, from 7am. The cultural diversity is evident in the various neighbourhoods, such as Chinatown, Little Italy, Greektown, Little India, Koreatown, Portugal Village and Little Poland, where you’ll find tempting cuisines to taste and goods to buy.
Due its location, Toronto has a moderate climate and is one of the warmest places in Canada during spring and summer. It’s lively in the day and at night and offers something for everyone. Don’t forget to try the famous peameal bacon on a bun – one of Toronto’s signature snacks! Go!
Toronto Traveler Reviews
 Shop til you drop in Toronto
Toronto was fantastic! I literally shopped as much as I could while being there for a week. I went to all the stores around the Bay and Bloor Street area, and then hit Cumberland Terrace which had over 50 shops. After Swarovski and Talbots, I went for a yummy lunch at a famous deli called Druxys. The city is busy, but vibrant with so many things for a tourist to see, and do. I checked out the CN Tower, and the Harbour Front Center where they had some music festivities going on. It was cold, but cheerful. I would like to spend about a month there on my next visit.

 Toronto from the top
The CN Tower was a highlight of our family trip to Toronto. The ascent in the glass fronted elevator is dizzing and dazzling. Don't stop at the Lookout Level, go all the way up to the Sky Pod. Splurge on dinner at the revolving 360 Restaurant or raise a toast at the world's highest wine cellar. Time your visit at sunset for best city views by day and by night.
