Toronto is a great city. Terrific theater, pro sports, restaurants, hotels, parks, islands in the lake, nightlife and neighborhoods. Great people, safe and diversity. Blacks, yellows, browns, and whites live together in peace.

Located in downtown Toronto, the CN Tower is the tallest free standing structure in the world. Travel up the glass elevator to the foot glass floored outdoor observation deck for a bird’s eye view of the city. The Eaton Centre, the other most popular attraction, is a bright shopping mall in the heart of the city.

Yorkville is a delightful anomaly in the midst of Toronto highrises and shopping malls. Many celebrities have been spotted strolling the sidewalks of Yorkville, especially during the Toronto International Film Festival. Also called Toronto Island, Centre Island is one of a series of small islands that comprise the largest urban car-free community in North America. It offers a place for recreation and relaxation and features an amusement park, recreation areas, beaches, a yacht club, and restaurants.

Casa Loma, similar to Hearst Castle in Calfornia, is an interesting visit. The Hockey Hall of Fame is an outstanding facility, full of interactive exhibits that put kids or adults in the heat of NHL action. Royal Ontario Museum has more than 40 galleries of art, archaeology and natural science.

Toronto has the second largest Chinatown in North America. People will find bargains on exotic trinkets, jewellery, clothing and household items. The Distillery Historic District is a great place to spend a few hours if you’re in downtown Toronto and want to get away from the usual downtown stuff. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) houses an impressive collection of more than 40,000 works.
