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.

Mount Pleasant Cemetery

The array of trees – many magnificently old and stately – in this cemetery dating from 1876 qualifies it as a bona fide arboretum. A walk through the lovely grounds will reveal the graves of several notable Canadians, including pianist Glenn Gould (1932–82), whose marker is carved with the opening bars of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations .
Mövenpick Marche

Self-serve stations brim with fresh pizza, pasta, soup, and sandwiches.
Mr. Greenjeans

Burgers and hot dogs for the kids, served with fun and flair.
Ms Emma Designs

Specializing in limited-edition women’s clothing made from exquisite fabrics, mainly wool and silk. These clothes are not mass-produced, yet remain affordable. One of several locations.
Myth

A long, stylish bar and unusual decor of myth-inspired objects. Mediterranean food, and, in summer, a great sidewalk patio.
NASA

DJs come to this long, narrow room to spin jazz, hip-hop, and underground, every night except Sunday. Food served.
National Ballet of Canada

Internationally acclaimed company dances the classics with luster, and presents vibrant new choreography.
Neill-Wycik College Hotel

This student residence turns into a guest house from early May to the end of August. While the rooms are spartan and bathrooms are shared, the price is right for tight budgets. Groups are welcome. The central location means many of the city’s top destinations are in walking distance.
Niagara Falls

While the town itself sends kitsch to new heights, the falls are spectacular – truly a natural wonder and well worth the trip (see Niagara Falls).
Niagara Falls

After the two-hour drive from Toronto, stand on Table Rock for a look at one of the world’s wonders, the magnificent Horseshoe Falls, where the Niagara River plunges 176 ft (53 m) over a 1060-ft- (323-m-) long precipice. The town of Niagara Falls and outlying area offer fine dining, entertainment, winery tours, historic museums, and more (see Niagara Falls).
