Toronto is an urban mosaic of cultures and ethnicity considered one of the most multicultural cities in the world. It is the most heavily populated city in Canada, a cosmopolitan financial, commercial and cultural center, blending its multicultural heritage — about 80 ethnic groups speaking more than 100 languages — with urban chic. With a lot to offer in terms of culture and entertainment any time of year, Toronto is the perfect travel destination for families and solo travelers alike.

Toronto is the most populous city in Canada, with 2.8 million residents in the city proper on the shores of Lake Ontario. It sits at the centre of the Golden Horseshoe region, which wraps around Lake Ontario all the way to Niagara Falls, with a population of almost 9 million.

It is a cosmopolitan and international city with people from all over the world. There are big Pakistani, Persian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, and European communities. Get an overview of the city from the CN Tower, the tallest tower in Toronto with amazing views.

As one would expect from a big and vibrant city, there are a huge number of theatres, galleries, and museums, including the Royal Ontario Museum, one of the best in North America. It is also not hard to stumble across live music, poetry readings, comedy shows, and LGBTQ+ hotspots. There are old fashioned pubs, modern cocktails bars, and craft breweries.

For those looking for nature, there are beaches and waterfront walkways around the lake, and you can go kayaking or paddling to the Toronto islands. There are plenty of big parks with lots of green spaces. When the temperature drops, you can indulge in skiing and ice skating.
