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.

Opus

This refined dining room has one of the best wine lists in the city. Tuna tartare with caviar, and the roasted meats get top marks.
Osgoode Hall

Ontario’s first law school now houses upper provincial courts. The interior of this heritage building is magnificent, the restaurant, good value.
Outdoor Stands

Sprawling on the sidewalks outside the North Market, these produce and flower stalls only add to the boisterous atmosphere of market Saturdays. For the best selection, arrive early in the morning.
Panorama

Not for acrophobics, this bar’s patios, on the 51st floor of the ManuLife Centre, are the city’s highest, offering spectacular views. Extensive cocktail list.
Pantages Suites

Deluxe modern accommodation with nice touches such as a washer and dryer in all rooms, and stunning city views from the windows of this 45-story hotel and condominium tower.
Pappas Grill

This boisterous Greek taverna pleases with excellent starter dips and filling mains such as roast lamb and souvlaki .
Paramount Canada’s Wonderland

This amusement park north of the city has 400 attractions, including 50 rides, a water park, and live shows. Thrill rides for older kids, tamer rides for little ones.
Paramount Canada’s Wonderland

This theme park north of Toronto draws crowds with its more than 50 rides, huge water park, and live entertainment. Thrills abound, the biggest pleasers being the roller coasters.
Park Hyatt Toronto

Luxurious, spacious rooms with marble bathrooms and free high-speed Internet access, attentive service, and a central Yorkville location, make this classy hotel a great favorite. The Roof Lounge provides a spectacular view of the city, and its posh Stillwater Spa is one of the city’s best.
Peameal Bacon Sandwiches

Quintessentially Canadian, and perfect to fuel up for the day, the kaiser buns at South Market’s Carousel Bakery are stuffed with salty, peameal-encrusted pork.
