Toronto

Destination

With a population nearing seven million, Toronto is a diverse, modern city that’s nestled between winding rivers, endless ravines, and viridescent urban forests that sometimes feel like a Lewis Carrol world, when you remember you’re just a few miles from a skyline of skyscrapers.
The capital isn’t just a place where nature intersects with man; it’s one of the cultural hubs of Canada, being home to several important creative spaces across a range of fields, so there’s plenty of entertainment to keep you titillated. Plus, there’s dozens of museums and galleries, as well as some of the best food offerings in the world. And, of course, the city itself is adorned with cloud-tickling buildings, so it’s the perfect place to holiday if you want to see some astounding views.

Food & Drink

With its diverse population, relative wealth, and popularity as a city-break destination, it’s not surprising that many consider Toronto to be one of the best foodie cities in the world, rivalling even its southern neighbour New York. While you can get classic Canadian fare throughout the city, it also has a great international cuisine scene, with some of the finest chefs in the world chopping, frying, and serving all kinds of food.
