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.

  • Just steps from Union Station in the city’s Financial District, this small hotel, with just 56 rooms, offers all the amenities of a large hotel, along with excellent service. It is close to many top attractions.

  • Six tastefully decorated rooms, some with shared baths, and reasonable prices make this B&B in a restored Victorian townhouse a good choice for the budget-conscious traveler. It is centrally located, about a 10-minute walk from the Eaton Centre.

  • This Yorkville hotel with only 69 rooms offers good value and an excellent location, close to top attractions and shopping. Rooms are ample.

  • Unrivaled collection of Group of Seven paintings (see Hudson’s Bay Company Gallery).

  • Enjoy popular folk musicians in an intimate space.

  • Humber Arboretum

    Set near the West Humber River, this nature center has self-guided trails through woodlands and meadows, and fine exhibits on plants and wildlife.

  • Native flowers and shrubs attract butterflies at this lakeshore park with a great view of the city’s skyline. A demonstration garden highlights butterfly-attracting flowers for home gardens.

  • Views of the city don’t get much better than those from here. Easily accessible by bicycle on the Waterfront Trail, the park is also great for exploring on foot. Major habitat restoration such as wildflower meadow plantings attracts birds and butterflies (see Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat). Walkways and interpretive signs complement a series of interesting storm water cleansing ponds.

  • It was here that famed dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov defected from the Soviet Union in 1979. The now refurbished theater mounts shows by the Canadian Opera Company, National Ballet of Canada, and others.

  • Attracted by the minimalist decor, the young and hip flock here to indulge in special vodkas and other iced concoctions.
