Five ideas for vacations in Toronto

Toronto, Ontario is the largest city in Canada and offers for those looking for fun and excitement on vacation. Toronto offers many entertainment options, as well as world-class dining and transportation.

Travelers to Toronto often have two questions when planning a trip to Canada’s largest city: where to stay and what to do. Here are ten suggestions for what to do and see on your Toronto vacation.

1. The most obvious, which can be seen from miles away by land or air: The CN Tower, which was the tallest building in the world when it was built and held that distinguished crown until 2007, dominates the Toronto Skyline. CN Tower offers dinner at 360 restaurant which is a revolving restaurant and you can also visit the tower and take the elevator to the SkyPod and Space platform which are 1108 and 1468 feet above the ground. These two areas allow you to see the entire city of Toronto as well as Lake Ontario.

2. Shopping is a popular pastime and the Toronto Eaton Center anchors the downtown shopping areas at the corner of Yonge and Dundas streets and offers popular indoor shopping.

3. Sports fans will surely visit the Rogers Center to catch a game of baseball. Home to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Rogers Center offers a retractable roof that opens and closes in less than 20 minutes. The Rogers Center also hosts big-name concerts when they come to town, like U2 and the Rolling Stones.

4. For trade shows and business meetings, the Metro Toronto Convention Center offers a north and south hall and an expanse of space for shows like the International Auto Show, Sportsman’s Show and Boat Show.

5. Summer wouldn’t be the same without the Canadian Nation’s Expo, basically known as ‘the ex’ by Toronto area locals Located just west of downtown and minutes by train or streetcar, the annual expo allows shopping, tasting the foods of this multicultural city and somewhere in between to entertain the young, or the young at heart.

Whether you’re traveling to Toronto or a local looking to find weekend entertainment and dining, Toronto offers entertainment options for every taste and budget.
