Looking for a destination for your next vacation? Well, today we are going to recommend a city that, despite being quite far from our country, has a lot to offer. We refer to Toronto, one of the most important cities in Canada. In fact, it is the financial and commercial center of the country, in addition to being the city with the highest standard of living.
Toronto may not have too many tourist attractions, at least compared to other cities (Rome, Brussels, Lisbon ...), but those that do have enough interest to want to spend a few days in this place. Without a doubt, it will become one of the essential cities if you make a route through Canada. Today in Hard Hobbit To Break We tell you about the main tourist attractions in Toronto. Can you come with us?
CN Tower
One of the places you will have to visit if you travel to Toronto is the National Tower of Canada, known as the CN Tower, one of the emblems of the city. Considered one of the tallest communication towers on the planet (it measures 553.33 meters), what is most surprising about this place is its lookout, which, with glass floor included, offers great views of the entire city, as well as exquisite food in its restaurant. In addition, at night it lights up and changes color.
Casa Loma
Another recommended visit is the Casa Loma, a stately house located in the north of the city that surprises for being in a place with such modern architecture. Open to the public, this enormous castle (it has 17,000 square meters and 98 rooms) was sent to build in 1914 by an eccentric billionaire who wanted to have a house like the one in the castle of Québec's Frontenac. However, it seems that after construction it was left in ruins, so the house was acquired by the city.
The neighborhoods to visit
One of the peculiarities of Toronto is that it is a super cosmopolitan city. In fact, it is said that half of its population was born outside the country. Of course, the cultural diversity of the city (Toronto houses some 200 ethnic groups) is noted, especially in the neighborhoods of Chinatown, Little Italy or Little India. On the opposite side we find the richest areas of the city, such as Yorkville, a luxurious neighborhood where some of the best fashion stores, restaurants and all kinds of hotels are located. In addition, you can not forget Kensington, a picturesque neighborhood considered as one of the most alternative places in the city.
The longest street in the world
Interestingly, Toronto is home to the longest street on the planet. This is Younge Street, which until 1999 appeared on the Guinness Book of Records with the wrong measurements: 1,896 kilometers. Actually, the street is about 56 kilometers, which is not bad either. Here are some of the main attractions of the city: shopping malls, more than 600 shops and about 150 bars and restaurants. In addition, on Yonge Street you can see outdoor performances and visit Dundas Square, the Metropolitan Library or the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Museums
Of course, in Toronto there are also interesting museums to visit, such as the Royal Ontario Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario, Ontario Science Center, The Design Exchange and Bata Shoe Museum.
St. Lawrence Market
You should also visit the St. Lawrence Market, one of the most ancient and Toronto greats. Here you will find a wide variety of foods for all tastes. In addition, you will find cafes and boutiques.
Niagara Falls
Although they are not located in Toronto, if you have the opportunity to travel to this city you cannot miss visiting Niagara Falls. Located 236 meters above the level of the sea, they have a drop of 52 meters.
