Hotels in Toronto

I'd say the CN Tower, like tallest building in the world. you can see pretty much everything from sky high overlooking the whole city including the Lake Ontario and parts of Canada. that tower even has a resturant, gift shop that sells everything Toronto related, a skypod the highest level of the CN Tower itself, even has a bar etc. that one of best thing about my trip there! The downtown is another thing i liked the best about my Toronto visit seeing many stores with more goods and much bigger sellections to choose from, plus on January 1st i got to go with this very good friend of mine who happens to live in Toronto was kind enough to show me around town, he'd even took me out to some really nice pubs in downtown and celebrated New Years together with everyone else there too. Everything calls him "Wolfy or Puppy Molson". though..i was alittle bit disappointed when my buddy and my few other friends in Toronto could not come and celebrate my birthday with me at the "Madison Avenue Pub" which happen to be a manor as well where i'd stayed at during my visit. I hate to have all the fun and the occassin with a friend. O well, at least i got to visit one of most amazing and coolest place in my life. New Years is the best time to go to Toronto i'd say discounts on pretty much everything, everyone then celebrating and going out lots, and more. So yeah, it worth visiting there and if i were you take the VIA Rail or a airplane if you want to travel there more comfortably. HAPPY NEW Years!

Toronto is a city of villages - the living vision of the mother of city planning, namely, Jane Jacobs. Her vision of what a thriving city of the future should look like is celebrated around the world. This globally-recognized vision finds a living example in the city of Toronto. As far as North American big cities go, Toronto is in the same league as NYC, LA and Chicago. For the feeling of a big American city with the safety of a European town, Toronto is the perfect destination. It is said that if you were to take the population of the world today and projected the correct proportion of each culture onto a city, the 3+ million inhabitants of Toronto is the closest reflection of the true mix of cultures in the world today. A visit to Toronto island with its car-free neighbourhoods and beautiful beaches is often missed by visitors but will be the highlight of anyone's visit. In Winter, taking refuge in Toronto's underground mall, which spans the city from Union Station, to Roy Thomson Hall, to the Eaton's Center is bigger than any in Canada. See Kensington Market and the Distillery District for two opposite but equally independent-minded neighbourhoods.

I love Toronto, I'm very lucky and manage to get there 10-20 times a year. It has everything you could want in a major city. Trendy shopping areas, lots of great food options, big malls, Every sport under the sun, safety. I loved going to the Toronto Raptors game last week has a great energy and a really competitive team this season (Much more affordable than the Leafs). Been to BlueJays, Marlies and just waiting to be in Toronto at the right time to watch Toronto FC. The Eaton Centre is fantastic for shopping, has everything you could want but was absolutely manic around Christmas (But what do you expect!?). I would suggest the ROM, Hockey Hall of Fame and a walk around the beautiful UofT. I have done almost every touristy and not so touristy thing that Toronto has to offer and I would almost suggest all of them, potentially not going up the CN Tower as I don't think the price matches the view! Especially if you have been up the Empire State Building in NY. But all in all Toronto is filled with things to do and if you are up for anything you will find something new everytime you visit.

We have lived in Don Mills, an inner suburb of Toronto, for 3 years, but we have not yet visited many Toronto attractions. As it turned out, we did not visit many on this trip either, because seniority took control. We intended to have dinner at the CN Tower the second night, but we gorged on the Hot House Restaurant Wednesday evening buffet the first night and decided to stick with the Bistro in the hotel Thursday night. The Bistro turned out to be an excellent choice, with marvelous service even though we ordered a light meal, and a pianist playing all our favourite tunes. We always travel by bus, streetcar and subway in Toronto, and we find it very convenient. Afraid we can't really give a good touristy account because we did not do touristy things.

Toronto is a clean big city. You feel very safe walking around. We liked the public transportation system and used Uber at times, specially when it was too cold and didn't feel like walking to a subway (nothing is so far that your Uber trip will get too high). We did have trouble finding places to eat that weren't chinese, turkish, or italian. We still don't know what Canadians eat. This dissapointed us as we had read Toronto was a culinary paradise, but we just didn't have that experience (maybe we didn't know where to look). I'd go again; five days weren't enough and maybe all the good food was in some place we didn't get to visit. Anyone with US currency will not feel robbed, as exchange will be to their benefit, but it's not a big difference. It IS expensive. Also, forget about good, strong coffee; it's virtually non existent.

I live in Toronto so what I can say is it's great for Hockey, Baseball and Basketball games. You can visit the Hockey Hall of Fame, Lake Ontario shores in the summer. Shop in one of the largest mall - Eaton Centre. Dine at Hard Rock Cafe located in the busiest spot of the city Yonge-Dundas. Navigate easily through the city via subway, street car, buses including an express rocket train from Union Station to Pearson Intl Airport. Plus it's a multiculturally diverse city with everyone from every nook and cranny of planet earth.
