Toronto is the largest city in Canada which boasts charming neighbourhoods, a melting pot of cultures, lush parks, trendy art galleries, museums galore, bustling local markets, some of the top restaurants in Canada and a vibrant nightlife. This diverse city is surrounded by breath-taking natural beauty and has a very stunning skyline filled with towering structures. What Toronto is known best for, though, is its iconic landmarks. There’s the CN Tower, a famed monument standing at 553m, featuring observation points that offer panoramic views of Toronto and Lake Ontario. Then there’s Casa Loma, a castle-like building and former residence which is now a museum. Another must-visit landmark is the historic St. Lawrence market, which once served as Toronto’s official city hall; now it’s the city’s most popular marketplace, selling local grocery items and handcrafted goodies. Finally, the Distillery District is a true Toronto icon and a designated national historic site, featuring preserved Victorian architecture and hosting traditional performances.
