For sweeping views of Toronto and Lake Ontario, look no further than CN Tower while museum fanatics would do well to make their way towards Royal Ontario Museum. Found a stone’s throw from Pan Pacific Toronto which provides stylish hotel rooms in Toronto, vacationers can move through a wide range of galleries that hold an abundance of artifacts. These include a 90-foot skeleton of a Barosaurus, an ivory and stone sculptured female bull leaper that dates back to 1,600 BC, and the armor of William Herbert from 16th century England. Should you desire to get away from it all, then what’s stopping you from riding a ferry to Toronto Islands for some peace and quiet?

Use the streetcar

Toronto is one of the easier global cities to discover, be it on foot or via public transport. Featuring among the sought-after facilities is the renowned streetcar that was named by National Geographic as one of the top 10 trolley rides in the world. Look forward to delightful journeys where you are bound to meet beaming locals as they hop on and hop off.

Eat to your heart’s content

The city is as multicultural as they come and to foodies, a welcoming playground! Arrive at Little Italy or Koreatown for distinct flavors and creative twists on household names while for something local, consider Queen West which overflows with eateries and comfy coffee shops.

Stop by Ottawa

As the nation’s capital, Ottawa has its fair share of pleasures. First up is the sole UNESCO World Heritage Site in Ontario which is the Rideau Canal which is a combination of rivers, lakes and canals that branch out 202 km between Ottawa and Kingston. Before you leave, be sure to beeline for the Parliament Buildings armed with your trusty camera.
