Metropolitan Toronto is the perfect place for your Canada holidays

Toronto is a colourful puzzle of global influences and free-spirited neighbourhoods, serving up glam, grit, high design and hip restaurants.

If a city were a cocktail, Toronto would be the one with the biggest mix. City lovers looking for plenty of cosmopolitan flavour will find that Canada’s largest city celebrates its multicultural roots with aplomb. You’ll hear it in the global languages spoken and see it in dynamic neighbourhoods including Little Italy, Little India, Chinatown and Greektown.

If you like that big city blend of grit and glam, this is a fantastic metropolis to explore. Warehouses have been converted into exhibition spaces, craft breweries come with a side of Canadian artisanal cheeses and museums and galleries house everything from Intuit art to Haida totem poles. You’ll find bohemian boutiques in Kensington Market and hip bars in the Victorian-era Distillery District. For designer shops and haute cuisine, head to Yorkville, and for Pan-Canadian cuisine you’re spoilt for choice with markets offering up everything from bagels to poutine. On the shores of Lake Ontario you can bike, barbecue and hike. Come evening, it’s worth searching out the city’s dark distilleries, slam poetry bars and glittering roof terraces. Watching over a skyscraper-filled skyline, Toronto’s CN Tower is the largest of them all. Head up over 1,400 feet and you get spectacular views from the observation SkyPod.

Kuoni offers handpicked inspiration with many Toronto holidays to choose from.

Getting around
Toronto is the only city in Canada that still uses street cars. These are a fun way to travel but do get stuck in traffic at peak times. Three subway lines and a rapid transit line are efficient and extend well into the suburbs, and there is also a bus network. The city centre is relatively compact and best explored on foot. Ferries and water taxis travel the ten minutes from Toronto Ferry Docks to the Toronto Islands. The Union Pearson Express links Downtown Toronto with the international airport. Trains depart every 15 minutes between 5:am and 1am and take just 25 minutes, making the transfer to or from the airport quick and easy.
