Toronto Travel Guide - CN Tower, Niagara & Hotels

Toronto is Canada's largest city and the capital of Ontario, set on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. With around 2.9 million people in the city and 6.6 million across the wider metro, it is one of the most multicultural urban areas in the world - more than half of residents were born outside Canada.

The skyline is anchored by the CN Tower, with distinctive neighbourhoods such as Kensington Market, Queen West, the Distillery District, Little Italy, and Chinatown showcasing the city's diversity. Niagara Falls is about 90 minutes south by road, the Muskoka lakes are two hours north, and the city itself offers four-season events from TIFF and the Caribbean Carnival to winter skating at Nathan Phillips Square.
