Time to Visit Toronto
The Canadian city of Toronto stands on the shore of Lake Ontario. It is the country’s largest city and has all the great facilities and sophistication you would expect from a major metropolis.
Flying in from the UK, you arrive at Toronto Pearson International airport, an easy 17 miles from the city centre. Once you have settled in, you will not be short of things to do during your visit.
If you are interested in exploring Canadian culture, Toronto offers theatre, opera, and symphony orchestra productions. Its world famous museums and art galleries contain works by Flemish Masters, Italian Renaissance painters, and French Impressionists. Give yourself a whole day when visiting the Art Gallery of Ontario if you truly want to see all that it has to offer. A visit to Toronto’s iconic landmark, the CN tower, is also highly recommended. From the tower you can cast your eye over the staggering panoramic views of the city and Lake Ontario.
The Distillery Historic District is a good place to visit for boutique shopping, independent artist studios, and galleries, also being well served by a selection of restaurants, bars, and cafés. Set in restored Victorian distillery buildings, the five-hectare site is a pedestrianised precinct that hosts cultural events and festivals throughout the summer.
In Toronto you are also within striking distance of Niagara Falls and day excursions are available if you want to see these magnificent waterfalls.
This is an exciting, modern, and welcoming city that deserves its reputation as a top travel destination.
