Toronto at a glance…

Welcome to Toronto, the most multiculturally diverse city on the planet, where more than 140 languages are spoken. When the weather is fine, Toronto is a blast: a vibrant, big-time city abuzz with activity. Some of the world’s finest restaurants are found here, alongside happening bars, clubs and eclectic festivals. In winter, things get very cold. But come with patience and an open mind and you’ll be too wrapped up in fun to notice the weather. This is a city that is waking up to its own greatness.

Back in town, relax with a pint in the Distillery District.
