. Known as the financial, cultural, entertainment and business capital of Canada; Toronto is the most important city in Canada and holds the seats to the Ontario government. By the mid 19th Century, Toronto became a British Colonial City and is now home to more than 80 ethnic communities.Toronto holidays must include a trip to the magnificent harbour area which is a hive of activity, and attracts over 12 million visitors each year, full of busy boutiques which sell unique souvenirs and locally crafted gifts along the waters edge. From the harbour, you can take a ferry to the beautiful Toronto Islands where you can enjoy stunning views of the citys skyline, with Centre Island being the largest, and home to a picnic area, childrens farm and even an amusement park!
Toronto offers over 32,000 hotel rooms so you never have to be stuck for somewhere to stay, the majority offer a room only board basis, although some do bed and breakfast. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from so youll always be spoilt for choice, whether its the Greek district, Little Italy, or China Town you visit, there are so many mouth-watering menus to tempt you! If shopping is your thing, visit the exclusive shopping district of Bloor/Yorkville, home to a vast selection of designer shops and boutiques.
It is often thought that Toronto is cold all year round when it actually has the mildest climate in Canada, temperatures during the summer usually hover around 25C and January is the only month that they drop below freezing point. It rarely snows more than 4 inches so although skiing is popular here, it isnt as good as in other Canadian resorts.
Travelling around Toronto is very easy on the superb tram system, or if the journey's a little longer, there's always the metro, or why not catch the London style bus for sightseeing, stopping off at all the main tourist attractions such as Toronto Zoo, home to more than 5000 animals. 'Wonderland' is the largest theme park in Canada, with 65 rides among its 200 attractions, with something for every member of the family, young and old. Toronto also has many beautiful parks to wander through at leisure and make sure you keep a look out for the famous black squirrels.
Toronto holidays wouldnt be complete without visiting Niagara Falls, located on the border between Ontario and New York, this powerful waterfall really is a sight to behold. Toronto is also home to the tallest tower in the world, the CN Tower, which stands at 533.33m high, has an impressive glass floor and the best views of the whole city.
