Four hundred’s Toronto guide

Grab your passport and let’s head to the 6ix, eh? The beautiful city of Toronto has something for the entire family. And, you can be comfortable knowing Toronto has the distinction of being the sixth safest city in the world.

Toronto, one of the most multi-culturally diverse cities on the planet and Canada’s largest city, with 6.6 million residents, representing 250 cultures.

Toronto boasts many fabulous hotels, fantastic dining options, art and more. Sports fan? Toronto is the only city in Canada with seven major league sports teams and boasts the historic Hockey Hall of Fame.

Visit the CN Tower, Toronto’s landmark with unparalleled views of the city. It is the tallest structure in the city and no stranger to lightning. In fact, it gets struck around 75 times per year. Do a quick CN Tower search on Instagram, and you’ll come across jaw-dropping photos of the gorgeous occurrence. Thankfully, the Tower is more than equipped to handle it, with electrons easily flowing through and causing zero damage—just incredibly cool photos.

And don’t miss the St. Lawrence Market. Settlers decided it was time to open a proper market and it immediately became the city centre where locals would convene and hold social celebrations. Nearly 200 years later, St. Lawrence Market thrives as a culinary hub where foodies gather for local and artisanal eats.

There’s so much more, the Yonge-Dudas Square sees nearly 100,000 people daily and Canada’s Wonderland’s Wonder Mountain is more than just the theme park’s showpiece landmark. When it was first built, the Mountain was equipped with beacons to alert low-altitude planes from a nearby airport. There is so much more, and fortunately it’s less than a 2-hour flight from NYC, perfect for a weekend getaway.
