  • Historic and modern pieces from around the world (see Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art).

  • Bars and restaurants buzz at night; shops and delis bustle during the day (see Little Italy).

  • Carved into the entranceway columns are caricatures of local politicians – with one exception – a straight-faced depiction of the architect. The building now serves as a courthouse (see Old City Hall).

  • This stately building is set in a park dotted with statues and cannons (see Ontario Legislative Building). Visitors can watch politicians in action from the gallery or join in a tour of the building.

  • An 1866 house restored with its original artifacts. Tours of the home mandatory; wandering the gardens is free.

  • Leafy residential sidestreets and lively cafés, ethnic restaurants, pubs, and shops along Bloor Street make for a great stroll (see The Annex).

  • University of Toronto

    A sprawling campus of green-spaces and historic stone buildings dominates a huge swath of the central city, fanning out north, east, and west from Queen’s Park up to Bloor Street. A more recent addition is the post-modern Graduate House. (see University of Toronto).
