Discovering Toronto-Great Places To Go To In The Town
From reading the vintage shops in Kensington Market to skating on the outside rink at Harbourfront Centre, Toronto offers visitors dozens of fun and exciting sites and activities. The CN Tower is a great place to start. Located downtown on Front Street, the tallest free-standing structure in the Americas offers awesome views that stretch all of the way to Niagara Falls, a breathtaking glass-floor observation deck, and a rotating restaurant. Speed to the top in the world's highest glass-floor lift at a rousing 20 feet a second.
Another must see downtown attraction that may appeal to both hockey backers and casual fans of the game is the Hockey Hall-Of-Fame at the corner of Yonge and Front Streets. Devoted to the history of ice hockey, it features an incredible array of souvenirs, a rink where visitors can test their abilities against computer-simulated hockey greats, and it is also the home of the Stanley Cup. Sports lovers will also enjoy the Rogers Centre, the domed stadium next to the CN Tower which is home to the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team. Previously called the SkyDome, this was the first stadium to have a fully-retractable motorized roof.
Prepared for some shopping? The most heavily visited Toronto shopping destination attracting millions annually is the Eaton Centre. Found at the south-west corner of Yonge and Dundas Streets, this well-liked mall is flooded with natural light from its dramatic atrium and features over 250 boutique shops and restaurants. For a rather more off-the-rack experience, head to the narrow streets of Kensington Market. Bordered by College Street, Spadina Avenue and Dundas St. West, this locale homes a spread of cool second- hand shops, as well as a various collection of cafes and bakeries. And just steps from the busy market is Toronto’s Chinatown, crammed with stores and restaurants stretching up and down Spadina and along Dundas St. West. Another lively shopping area is Queen Street West, between School Avenue and Bathurst Street. Travel further west on Queen and stores like the Opening and HMV give way to edgy up-and-coming designer speciality shops and art studios.
One of the high points of Toronto’s cultural attractions is the Art Gallery of Ontario, located at the fringe of Chinatown at 317 Dundas Street West. This giant art museum showcases more than 68,000 works starting from contemporary collections to Western european masterpieces. Try to get there on a Wednesday evening, when the $18 general admission fee is relinquished. Toronto also boasts one of the biggest natural history museums in North America- the Royal Ontario Museum, which is just a few blocks west of the Yonge and Bloor Street crossing in central Toronto at 100 Queen’s Park. There are some six million objects in its studios including a renowned collection of dinosaur skeletons. Located at the southwest corner of Bloor Street West and Queen’s Park, visitors are just steps from the swanky designer boutique shops and restaurants in the Bloor and Yorkville area as well as the Park Hyatt Hotel, which offers spectacular city views from its rooftop bar.
There are lots of outside activities to enjoy in Toronto, whether it is an icy winter day or blistering hot summer one. Right in the center of Toronto’s downtown waterfront is Harbourfront Centre, located at 235 Queens Quay West, demonstrating over 4000 events year-round including concerts and cultural holidays. In winter season, skate for free at the Natrel Rink, located in the Harbourfront grounds on the coasts of Lake Ontario. Toronto’s biggest outside skating rink is open seven days every week and hosts skate nights with celebrity DJs. In the summertime months the Toronto Islands in Lake Ontario, which can on occasion be reached from the downtown Toronto harbour by ferry, offer a beautiful setting for recreational pursuits as well as the Centreville Amusement Park for kids. Ontario Place, found west of downtown Toronto at 955 Lake Shore Blvd. W, is another preferred waterfront destination for families with 96 acres of rides, attractions and the big Soak Town waterpark.
To experience a little taste of Toronto’s history in a lovely setting, head east of downtown core to the Distillery District. Located at 55 Mill Street East, this heritage district was once the site of the biggest production of whiskey in the Brit Empire, and now houses art studios, eclectic specialised shops and gourmand restaurants on cobble-stone streets within the remodeled 19-century distillery buildings. Gourmands. Will love the farmer’s market, specialisation cheese store and workman chocolate shop as well as the Mill Street Brewery featuring organic lagers brewed on-site. Gourmets should also make their way to the St. Lawrence Market before leaving the town, home of the famous peameal back bacon on a bun.
If you're visiting Toronto and happen to make your way to the financial district in Toronto, you must visit the Gabardine Toronto. Many believe it is a good Finance District Restaurant Toronto.
