Toronto Travel Guide |
 |
by our Canada expert Terry Emery
The largest city in Canada, its economic capital (and of Ontario) and regularly voted one of the ‘most liveable in’ cities in the world, Toronto is located on the shores of Lake Ontario. It grew from a place of porterage to adjacent Lake Huron and has always been a first home to new Canadians – almost half the population was born outside the country, giving weight to its motto of ‘Diversity our Strength’. The outstanding skyline-dominating feature is the CN Tower, at 1,800 ft the highest in the world for 30 years. It has an amazing glass-floored viewing platform (Sky Pod) plus the well-named ’360’ revolving restaurant (excellent food if you can take your eyes off the view). The Victorian ‘Distillery District’ has more old-style architecture while the Harbourside area is a lively shopping and entertainment district – with much also happening on the lake itself.
