Holiday in Toronto

About Toronto

Toronto is the largest city in Canada with over 2.9 million inhabitants and the economic center of the country. The metropolis on the northwest shore of Lake Ontario is one of the most multicultural cities in the world — over half of the population was born outside Canada, and more than 200 languages are spoken. The CN Tower was the tallest freestanding structure in the world at 553 meters from 1975 to 2007 and remains the city's landmark. The EdgeWalk — a free walk on the outer edge at a height of 356 meters without railings — is considered one of the most exciting city walks in the world. The glass floor in the observation deck offers a dizzying view down. The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is one of the largest museums in North America: natural history, world culture, and art under one roof, expanded by the spectacular Michael Lee-Chin Crystal — a crystal-shaped extension designed by star architect Daniel Libeskind. Kensington Market is Toronto's most colorful neighborhood: vintage shops, international grocery stores, street art, and multicultural cuisine in a lively, car-free area. The neighboring Chinatown is one of the largest in North America. The Toronto Islands, a group of islands in Lake Ontario, are accessible by ferry in 15 minutes and offer beaches, bike paths, and a spectacular view of the skyline. The Distillery District, with its Victorian industrial buildings, houses galleries, restaurants, and craft breweries.
