Toronto

Toronto is Canada's largest and most diverse city — a dynamic metropolis on the shore of Lake Ontario, crowned by the CN Tower and built from a mosaic of vibrant neighborhoods. World-class museums, a Gothic castle, a famous food market, the car-free Toronto Islands, and one of the most multicultural food scenes anywhere sit within an easy walk or transit ride, and the thundering Niagara Falls are a day trip away. Summer and early fall are the liveliest seasons, but Toronto is a year-round, four-season city with plenty to do indoors when the winter bites.
