Toronto is a clean, safe, cosmopolitan city with a wonderful network of parks, recreational, and cultural facilities. Toronto is the home of four professional sports teams and the third largest English-speaking theatre district in the world, behind New York and London. One of the world's most ethnically diverse cities, it is home to more than 80 ethnic communities from Africa, Asia, and Europe. Toronto is also the business centre of Canada.

ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEXES
Enjoy a slew of interactive indoor and outdoor activities at Toronto’s entertainment complexes. Adults and kids can choose from batting cages, go-karts, arcades, mini-putt, volleyball and much more.

LANDMARKS
Toronto’s iconic landmark is the CN Tower, but architectural gems like the Royal Ontario Museum’s Michael Lee-Chin Crystal add to its growing panache. Yonge Street, one of the world’s longest, is the wellspring of the area’s commercial and cultural heartbeat.

MARKETS
Discover treasures galore in Toronto’s diverse and colorful markets. Fill a picnic basket with fresh fruit and gourmet cheeses, or find funky vintage fashions. From exquisite antiques to one-of-a-kind flea market finds, there’s something to delight everyone.

FESTIVALS & EVENTS

Toronto celebrates art, culture and diversity like no other city. Embrace the colour, spirit and traditions of the festivals and events that light up Toronto with vibrant entertainment all year round.

And to be sure you don’t miss a single moment, see what’s happening around the city in the Calendar of Events.

GARDENS & PARKS
Catch your breath along beautiful lakeshore trails, or in the quiet splendour of intricately manicured gardens and parks. The many open spaces in the Toronto area offer a tranquil escape from the bustle of the streets.
