DK Travel : Toronto

Torontonians are justifiably proud of their vibrant and exciting metropolis. Canada’s largest city and its financial hub, Toronto has a tremendous amount to offer, including a thriving theater, music, and arts scene, top museums, world-class restaurants and shops, a beautiful lakeside location with lovely beaches, and streets safe and inviting to walk in. Its cultural diversity – over 90 ethnic groups are represented in Toronto – enhances the urban experience.

Eaton Centre

While it might seem strange that a shopping center is the city’s most popular tourist attraction – according to the numbers, at any rate – this retail complex is simply a popular place to shop, meet, hang out, and people-watch. (Crowds of boisterous teenagers attest to this fact.) Its massive size – more than 300 stores – ensures that you can find practically anything you would want to buy here. Numerous restaurants, fast-food counters, and specialty treat shops round out the bill (see Eaton Centre).
Edwards Gardens

Marvellous flowerbeds showcasing roses, rhododendrons, and much more make this formal oasis very popular in summer, when wedding parties crowd the manicured lawns for photographs. The Teaching Garden lets kids explore an alphabet of plants and learn hands-on about nature. The Toronto Botanical Garden, a horticultural center, is also here (see Edwards Gardens).
Edwards Gardens

Magnificent floral displays are to be found in this large park by the Wilket Creek ravine. Kids’ activities at the superb teaching garden.
Eigensinn Farm

Superstar chef Michael Stadländer creates an unparalleled experience that books up months in advance. Intimately gathered in Stadländer’s farmhouse, diners feast on exquisite multiple courses showcasing organic ingredients, many of them raised, grown, or foraged on the farm.
El Mocambo

Revived by a recent facelift, this national landmark presents rock, folk, funk, and more on its two floors.
Elevated Wetlands

Don River water is recycled as it filters through plants atop large white bearlike forms.
Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres

These two theaters have been restored to their original splendor. Opened in 1913 as a double-decker venue – the Winter Garden seven stories above the Elgin – they host concerts, operas, and hit Broadway musicals (see Elgin Theatre, Winter Garden Theatre).
Elgin Theatre

The lower half of the double-decker Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre was built in 1913 as a movie house and, with its lavish gilding and proscenium arch, is a historic gem.
