Toronto is Canada's biggest city and one of its most multicultural, with neighbourhoods like Kensington Market, Chinatown and Little Italy sitting within walking distance of each other. The CN Tower anchors a downtown skyline that backs onto Lake Ontario, while the Distillery District's cobbled lanes and the islands' ferry-only beaches offer easy escapes from the bustle.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Toronto?
May to September has warm weather and the most festivals, including TIFF in September. Winters are cold with regular snowfall, but indoor attractions like the ROM and underground PATH network stay accessible.
Is the TTC easy to use?
Yes — subway, streetcars and buses cover the city well, and a single fare with the PRESTO card covers transfers between them.
What's the deal with Toronto Island?
A short ferry ride from downtown takes you to car-free islands with beaches, bike paths and skyline views back at the city — a popular summer escape.
Is Toronto expensive?
It's among Canada's pricier cities for hotels and dining, similar to Vancouver, though food halls and ethnic neighbourhoods offer good value.
What food is Toronto known for?
Its diversity is the draw — exceptional Chinese, Caribbean, Italian, Korean and South Asian food can all be found within a short transit ride of downtown.
Traveler reviews
★★★★★
The mix of neighbourhoods is what makes Toronto — Kensington Market in the morning, Distillery District in the afternoon, completely different vibes.
Owen P. · September 2024
★★★★☆
Cold but the underground PATH network meant we barely needed coats most of the day. Great museums for a winter trip.
Lina F. · January 2023
★★★★★
Took the ferry to the islands on a hot day and it felt like a completely different city — quiet beaches with the skyline right there.
