Canada's business capital and largest city
is also the centre for the Anglo-Canadian culture, it's also one of the great ethnic melting pots of the world. The
city's population numbers more than 4.5 million people. Getting the feel of Toronto's diversity is one of the city's
great pleasures.
A clean, safe and vibrant metropolis, sprawling along the northern shore of Lake Ontario, huge new shopping malls and skyrise office blocks reflect the economic successes
the city has become. With its colourful ethnic mix, rich history and breathtaking architecture,
Toronto offers non-stop adventures for the
willing tourist. Some tourists' attractions include the CN Tower, the world's tallest free-standing structure.
Next door is the modern hump of the SkyDome sports stadium. The city's other prestige attractions are led by the
Art Gallery of Ontario, which possesses first-rate collections of Canadian painting, and the Royal Ontario Museum.
Toronto's less well-travelled parts include the original Chinatown, laid out west along Dundas Street and running
all the way to "new" Chinatown, near the Spadina Avenue/Dundas Street intersection. Hotels in Toronto are among the
most modern and luxurious in the world and the pubs and night clubs in Toronto are among the best in Canada, even in North
America making this cosmopolitan city one of the best tourist destinations
in North America. Toronto today is a
lively, cultured place with hot summers and cold, dry winters.
