Toronto holidays will take you to the edge of Lake Ontario in Canada bordering the state of New York where Toronto is known as the entertainment, business, financial and cultural capital of Canada; making it the most important city in Canada, it is also home to the Ontario government. By the mid 19th Century, Toronto became a British Colonial City and is now home to more than 80 ethnic communities.

Toronto holidays will see you visiting the beautiful harbour front which is a hive of activity, attracting over 12 million visitors every year, with bustling boutiques selling locally crafted gifts and unique souvenirs along the waters edge. From the harbour you can take a ferry to the beautiful Toronto Islands where you can enjoy stunning views of the city's skyline, with Centre Island being the largest, and home to a picnic area, children's farm and even an amusement park!

Toronto has over 32,000 hotel rooms, mostly sold on a room only basis, so you will never be stuck for somewhere to stay. There are also plenty of restaurants to choose from so you'll be spoilt for choice, whether it's Little Italy, the Greek district or China Town you visit, there are so many mouth-watering dishes to tempt you! If shopping is your thing, visit the exclusive shopping district of Bloor/Yorkville, home to a vast selection of designer shops and boutiques.

It is commonly thought that Toronto is cold all year round but in fact it has the mildest climate in Canada, summer temperatures are mainly around 25°C and the only month that the weather drops below freezing point is January. It rarely snows more than 4inches so although skiing is popular here, it isn't as good as in other Canadian resorts.

Getting around Toronto is very easy with many transport options, the tramway is ideal for short journeys like shopping, and the metro can be used for longer journeys. There's even a London style bus for sightseeing, stopping off at all the main tourist attractions such as Toronto Zoo, home to more than 5000 animals. You'll also find Canada's largest theme park here; Wonderland has over 200 attractions and 65 rides, ensuring there's something to suit every age group. The city centre has plenty of beautiful parks to explore and if you're lucky you might even spot the famous black squirrels.

Toronto holidays wouldn't be complete without a visit to Niagara Falls, located on the border between New York and Ontario this powerful waterfall really is a sight to behold. The tallest tower in the world, the CN Tower is also found here in Toronto, standing at 533.33m with an impressive glass floor, offering amazing views over the entire city.

Toronto is also home to the world's longest street at 1896km so visitors need to make sure they wear "sensible shoes" to make sure they get the most out of Toronto holidays.
