Toronto
Canada’s largest and most culturally diverse city, Toronto is, by some margin, the country’s most thrilling city break destination. With a skyline every bit as vertically exciting as Manhattan’s, one of the world’s most exciting theatre districts and a strident collection of world class museums and attractions, the city presents a side to Canada that’s far removed from the standard images of forests, lakes and mountains: of a nation with too much space to spare.

Cosmopolitan living
Downtown Toronto is every bit as turbo-charged, forward-looking and cosmopolitan as any major city in northern America. Little wonder it’s regularly used as a film set double for New York. Yet, despite the big city action, Toronto doesn’t operate at quite the break-neck speed of its US neighbour, and the streets are never quite so mean. Here, people do have time to chat over coffee, take leisurely lunches, or shop in the city’s eclectic, ethnic neighbourhoods.
Seasonal changes
A city of two sides, Toronto enjoys balmy summers and icy winters. But it’s well prepared for both, with its pleasant lakeside quarter offering the chance for a summer stroll, and its underground malls and restaurants keeping the city moving throughout the fiercest winter weather.

Canada's short break capital
Add to this one of the Tourist Wonders of the World, Niagara Falls, an easy drive away, and it’s not hard to see why Toronto is Canada’s short break capital, and a city well worth a weekend or longer of your time.
