CN Tower
The CN Tower is Toronto’s defining landmark for a reason. At 550 meters tall, this engineering marvel is classified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Today, it serves as a telecommunications hub, as well as a major destination for visitors from across the world. Reserve a seat at the Tower’s revolving 360 Restaurant for a unique dining experience with a spectacular view. Or test your courage by walking across the 113-story high glass floor. Visitors can travel even higher up the Tower to the Sky Pod, another 33 stories above ground. For the true daredevils, EdgeWalk is the world’s highest full-circle, hands-free walk. Attached to safety rails and harnesses, walk along the Tower’s edge at 116 stories high, experiencing breathtaking views of the city skyline. If heights aren’t your thing, check out the café and 10,000-square-foot marketplace at the base of the Tower.
Kensington Market
Kensington Market is Toronto’s most unique neighborhood, a maze of narrow streets and alleys lined with brightly-colored Victorian houses. You never know what you’ll find in the eclectic mix of vintage clothing shops, restaurants, and cafés. In the summer, Kensington hosts street festivals like Pedestrian Sundays, while December brings the annual Festival of Lights.
Waterfront
Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre, nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario, is an excellent place to spend the day. Boating is popular in the summer, while arts programming is featured year-round. Take a stroll along the water’s edge, shop, or dine, all with a magnificent view of the waterfront.
Toronto’s Top Galleries
Looking for a little culture? Step into one of Toronto’s acclaimed museums and appreciate some breathtaking collections. Explore natural history and world cultures at the Royal Ontario Museum. With six million antiquities and 40 galleries of art, archaeology, and natural science, there is excitement around every corner. Visit the hands-on Biodiversity gallery or stroll through Liza’s Garden, a modern haven of greenery. For the art aficionado, no trip to Toronto is complete without a visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario. Designed by Frank Gehry, the AGO is a work of art itself. Admire over 5,000 works in 110 galleries featuring art from antiquity to the modern era. To see the latest talent, head over to MOCCA, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art. A smaller but dynamic space, MOCCA’s constantly changing exhibitions are sure to be original and inspiring.
Distillery District
A manufacturing hub in the 1800s, the Distillery District is now Toronto’s only heritage district and a major hub for arts, culture, and entertainment. A pedestrian-only village on 13 acres in downtown Toronto, the Distillery is the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian Industrial architecture in North America. In addition to galleries and theatres, the Distillery boasts chic restaurants and boutiques.
Lawrence Market
Step into St. Lawrence Market for the freshest local food. The expansive indoor market features over 120 specialty vendors, from produce and meat to handmade crafts. Stop by the famous Saturday Farmers’ Market or visit on Sunday to browse antiques.
Toronto Island
A short ferry ride from downtown is Toronto Island, a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Perfect for picnics and barbeques, the Island is full of life in the summer. Explore the Island by bike or boat, relax on one of the beaches, or spend the day at Centreville Amusement Park.
