Now that you’ve found your perfect transportation and accommodations, its time to see what makes Toronto that very special vacation destination. No matter the season, as long as the sky is clear, the best place to start your tour is with the CN Tower. This iconic landmark is Canada’s most celebrated architectural triumph and offers Toronto’s most spectacular views. The next best thing to do in Toronto is to get out among the Torontonians and really savor one of the highlights of this city – its people. Wander the many different neighborhoods to taste, figuratively and literally, the atmosphere and cuisine of such areas as Downtown Yonge (Yonge Street is the longest street in the world), Kensington Market, The Entertainment District, Old Town Toronto, or Church-Wellesley/The Gay Village.

Naturally, shopping can be a year round sport, and with the underground tunnel system, it is truly easy to do even with snow outside. However, with the beautiful weather of the summer, staying above ground is a joy. The shopping opportunities are there no matter what your taste; visit the big stores in the Toronto Eaton Centre, or the boutiques in the Bloor-Yorkville area. And you can’t forget the unique shopping opportunities you will find within the wide array of types of Museums located throughout the city.

Speaking of Museums, here is truly another all-weather sport, and you can educate yourself at the same time. Enjoy great works of art at the Art Gallery of Ontario, explore great Canadian works at Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, be awed by the diversity of cultures found in the Royal Ontario Museum, or visit one of the most unusual museums around, the Bata Shoe Museum – a must for many women as well as men.

Following your arduous day of soaking up the city from The Beaches and Harbourfront to the historic heights of Casa Loma, you will have no doubt worked up an appetite. Lucky for you, no matter where you end the day in this multi-season vacation destination, a good meal is not far away. Part of the flavor of Toronto is the multi-cultural population, which in turns to great types of cuisine, from Little Italy, Little Poland, Koreatown, Chinatown, and The Danforth – Greektown. Each of the unique neighborhoods of Toronto also offer their own unique dining options; dine with a spectacular revolving view at 360 The Restaurant at the CN Tower; mingle among the trendy restaurant goers in Queen West; savor a variety of European goodies from the Bloor West Village & High Park; if you are looking for “camp” while you dine, then Zeldas in the The Gay Village is the place to dine and be entertained or wander down the street to the tasteful Fuzion. You may also decide to park in the Entertainment District for an intimate and elegant dinner then be close to the nightlife of the three-story nightclubs.

Speaking of nightlife, this year-round vacation destination also has something for everyone to enjoy. Performing Arts abound in Toronto. The National Ballet of Canada performs in the new Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from November to June; the Canadian Opera Company also performs there from October to May; theatre productions abound throughout the city at such spectacular venues as the Princess of Wales Theatre and the Royal Alexander Theatre; for the sports lovers there are the Toronto Blue Jays and the Rogers Centre, the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre and other options for sports car racing, horse racing and soccer.
