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.

Café Brussel

Some 30 preparations of mussels (all with excellent frites ) and other delightful Belgian dishes.
Café Diplomatico

The patio is the place to be at this Little Italy institution (see Little Italy). Panzerotti, pizza, and pasta are on the menu, but it’s the people-watching opportunities that draw the crowds.
Cambridge Suites

Excellent service is standard at this hotel offering two-room suites only. Fully equipped work areas have all the bells and whistles, including a fax machine. Microwave, fridge, and coffeemaker are in every suite.
Cameron House

Hang out with the locals and catch great music in this ornate yet very casual bar. Celebrities, including Prince, sometimes drop by (see Cameron House).
Cameron House

Giant “ants” on the front of this former flophouse signal a different bar experience. Unspoiled by the acts that played here before making it big, this low-key bar is dedicated to up-and-coming musicians. Join foot-stomping regulars on weekend evenings for pay-what-you-can country music (see Cameron House).
Campbell House

The oldest remaining building from the town of York, which in 1834 became Toronto, this Georgian mansion was built in 1822 for William Campbell, an Upper Canada judge. In 1972, the 300-ton building was moved from its original location on Adelaide St to its present location, restored, and opened to the public. Guided tours are available.
Campbell House

Oldest remaining building (1822) in the city (see Campbell House).
