RECOMMENDATIONS
MORNINGStart with a leisurely stroll along Front Street, heading into old Toronto and The Flatiron Building which is the city's second most photographed building. From there head to the St Lawrence Market and stop at Paddington's for a quick bite. This establishment has been serving its famous peameal bacon sandwich for 25 years. Browse the eclectic range of stalls before heading upstairs to the Market Gallery to see a historical photographic exhibition from the City of Toronto Archives. Round off your tour by walking east to the Distillery District. Founded in 1832, the 40-plus buildings constitute the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America. It is Toronto's first pedestrian-only village and home to good stores, chic boutiques, great restaurants, internationally acclaimed galleries and theatres. |
AFTERNOONOn a good day nothing beats taking a long walk down Toronto’s most interesting boulevard, wonderful Queen Street West. Bring your appetite and wallet because, much like New York’s famed SOHO district, this hip neighborhood is a haven for trendy boutiques showcasing urban design & fashion, acclaimed restaurants serving global cuisine, contemporary art galleries, as well as cutting edge bars and live music venues. After living it up in up-to-the-minute Queen West, why not take an educational and enlightening trip to the famed Art Gallery of Ontario. Newly redesigned by world renowned architect Frank Gehry (his first in Canada), the AGO is one of North America’s top public art museums featuring a collection spanning over 1000 years of Canadian and International Masters. It also showcases a number of galleries for contemporary art, photography and much more. |
EVENINGHave dinner at Fifth in the heart of the entertainment district. Let the host guide you into the freight elevator which takes you to the restaurant from the lounge on the main floor. Enjoy the open-kitchen outdoor patio among the city's rooftops or dine indoors for an equally romantic experience. After dinner, burn off excess energy at The Reservoir Lounge with live music and dancing to jazz and swing. Later, if you're looking for something a little quieter to end the day, stop for a nightcap at the Horizons Café located at the top of the CN Tower: order a Dark Chocolate Tower and enjoy the truly spectacular night-time view. |
LOCAL CULTURESHOPPINGShops are open every day of the week but do close early on Sundays through to Wednesday at approximately 6pm. Malls remain open Monday to Friday until 9pm. TIPPING AT RESTAURANTSTipping is expected in most restaurants in Toronto. It is usual to tip about 15 per cent of the total bill. TIPPING TAXISIt is common practice to tip a cab driver. Either round up the amount to the next dollar or tip $1-$2. WeatherThe weather in Toronto is quite hot and humid in the summer but can get cold in the winter. Please call ahead for weather information and pack accordingly. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius by two and add 31. |
DID YOU KNOW ?Centre IslandNow primarily a city park, it was once the home of 10,000 residents. The main avenue, now a garden and pond display, was once the busy centre of town with hotels, shops and a church. CN TowerJust celebrated 50 years as one of our nation's icons. The glass floor is found in the main section of the observation area, but there are two other floors to visit and a fine-dining restaurant. Festivals and eventsIt is hard to visit Toronto and not discover a special event or festival on any given weekend. Please see the concierge for details or call ahead for some ideas. The PATHTo sight see in weatherproof comfort. The PATH is Toronto's underground walkway, linking 27 kilometres (16 miles) of shopping, services and entertainment. Yonge StreetNamed one of the longest streets in the world, Yonge Street starts in Toronto and ends in Rainy River. It is over 1,900 kilometres long. |
WHAT TO PACKA light sweater or wrapMost of Toronto's buildings are well-heated in the winter and well air-conditioned in the summer. Bring a light sweater or shawl with you to take to the theatre or restaurants. CameraDon't forget your camera: there will be a lot of snapping going on. Canadian currencyIt is recommended that you exchange at least some money - just enough to cover airport incidentals and transportation to the hotel - before you leave home, so you can avoid the queues at the airport ATMs. Cell phone charger and computer cablesCell phone and Blackberry chargers, camera cables and power cables for your laptop. Comfortable walking shoesThe best way to see our beautiful city is by walking. Make sure you pack a pair of comfortable shoes. |
