Toronto covers over two hundred and seventy square miles making it virtually impossible to see all the sights the city has to offer during just one visit. Furthermore, you could easily spend an entire day at many of the more popular attractions. Despite this, many more can be found in the downtown area of the city and you can always return to Toronto to see those that you don’t make it to during this trip.
In fact the most popular sightseeing tours in the city are centred around the downtown area and most of the attractions on the tours are within walking distance of each other. For example, within a short five or six block radius of Yonge and Dundas Streets, you will find the Old City Hall, the historic MacKenzie House and the Museum for Textiles. And, just north of downtown is the Casa Loma, the Bata Shoe Museum and Spadina House.
Another necessary stop on any sightseeing trip is Chinatown. The second largest in North America, Toronto’s Chinatown offers a complete escape from reality. Let the sights, sounds and smells convince you that you have travelled to the real thing.
The Art Gallery of Ontario is the city’s main gallery and houses the world’s largest public collection of the works of British sculptor, Henry Moore. As well as the aforementioned, however, Toronto is home to a further one hundred galleries which display local, regional, national and international art.
The Harbourfront is another popular area among visitors to Toronto. The jewel of the city’s waterfront, this region stretches for several kilometers along the water. With green parklands which are free to the public, the Harbourfront is also the arts centre of the city.
The Toronto islands are also another must on your trip. Situated just a short distance by ferry from the Harbourfront Centre in the downtown region of the city, this is one of the attractions where you could easily spend an entire day without even realizing it.
