Tourism Toronto

Toronto is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world; a place where international ideas intersect with Canadian culture.


A centre of rare openness, warmth, energy and style, Toronto is enriched by the fusion of traditions, passions and perspectives on life of the more than 100 cultures found here.

Toronto celebrates art, culture and diversity like no other city. Embracing the colour, spirit and traditions of the festivals and events that light up Toronto with vibrant entertainment all year round.


A city of contrasts, Toronto’s skyline includes the CN Tower, one of the Modern Wonders of the World and glass skyscrapers juxtaposed with historic limestone facades. Miles of waterfront, boardwalks, parks and trails nestle together with urban delights like cafés, artisans’ exhibits and one-of-a-kind shops.


Nightlife abounds with some 200 dance and theatre companies offering everything from mega-musicals to avant-garde works, Toronto rivals New York and London with its live theatre productions. Clubs offer enticing distractions including hot jazz, soca, reggae, dancehall, side-splitting comedy, acoustic artistry and celebrities taking in the latest DJs.


Beyond the city limits are breathtaking attractions within bucolic countryside. Experience the wonder of Niagara Falls, a renowned wine region, outstanding theatres and outdoor adventures—all within a short drive.
