Toronto Holidays - Travel Guide

Toronto holidays take you to Canada's largest and most populated city. Toronto is situated on the northern shore of lake Ontario where it has grown from what was once a small French colony into the thriving commercial centre of Canada. The old Victorian and Edwardian architecture of Toronto is now cast in shadow by the huge skyscrapers and modern glass office blocks that dominate the skyline.

The most famous landmark you'll see on holiday in Toronto is the enormous CN tower, the world's tallest freestanding structure, which affords magnificent panoramic views across the city and over the harbour. In downtown Toronto there are museums and galleries galore showcasing the rich cultural and artistic history of the city.

The Harbour front area of Toronto is a fantastic place to take a stroll and people watch for a while. Here you'll find theatres and art galleries and a number of good restaurants where you can sample the diverse cuisine available on Toronto holidays. A short ferry ride from the harbour is Toronto Island where you can take a walk through the miles of forested parkland and enjoy beaches and picnic areas.

At night Toronto lights up to become an entertainment paradise with an enormous choice of bars and clubs, especially in the Queen Street and Lakeshore Boulevard area.

Take a glass elevator to the top of the CN tower for absolutely breathtaking views. The massive Toronto zoo is divided into distinct geographic sections and houses over 5000 animals in environments that reflect their natural habitats as closely as possible.

Shopping in the vast number of markets and shops on holidays in Toronto is something any devoted shopaholic will never forget, with more than 20,000 shops to choose from. The St. Lawrence market is considered to be one of the best in the world with a large selection of gourmet food vendors ready to let you sample their wares.
