With a population of 5.6 million, the GTA is Canada’s largest metropolitan area and the 5th largest in North America. At its core is Toronto, a ‘Waterfront City’ that’s eminently walkable with a ‘green’ urban landscape that’s easily explored. Tap into your creative side in this ‘Creative City’ as you discover hundreds of distinct cultures, over 7,000 restaurants, world-class shopping, entertainment and nightlife, and scores of attractions

Toronto offers culture buffs a world of choices. Take in a big Broadway-style show or check out a small independent theatre production. See the ballet, treat yourself to an evening of symphonic music or spend the night at the opera. A host of fascinating galleries and museums beckon, including museums dedicated to science, ceramics and shoes.

Toronto is also a city of neighbourhoods. More than 80 cultural groups call this metropolis home and speak in more than 100 languages. Multicultural neighbourhoods dot the city’s landscape, including six Chinatowns, Portugal Village, Greektown, Little India and Little Italy. And you can take this trip around the world for the price of a few tokens on Toronto’s user-friendly transit system, the TTC.

Shop till you drop at Toronto’s chic boutiques, colourful markets and upscale malls. Come down to the Beach area and stroll the boardwalk. Soar to the top of the CN Tower and peer through a glass floor, just one of Toronto’s 75 fabulous attractions. Then explore Harbourfront, Ontario Place, and the Rogers Centre (formerly known as the SkyDome), all close by. Discover Toronto’s network of ravines and green spaces, and spend a quiet afternoon strolling the idyllic Toronto Islands.
