Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Included in the St. John's Complex Lawrence Market, this important building is only the southern part. In fact, two other structures complete the list.

2. Clearly, Toronto’s reputation is well established and some of its peculiarities are truths in their own right. Its lifestyle, its cultural identity, its unique style make Canada’s largest city what it is.

   Passes by

3. Toronto Union Station is the region's long-distance transportation hub and has served more than 300,000 passengers daily since it opened in 1927. This is significantly higher than the number of passengers at the country’s busiest airport.

   Passes by

4. An essential part of Toronto's silhouette, the CN Tower is Canada's most recognized symbol. Before gaining all this notoriety, the immense masterpiece of engineering had a practical purpose.

   Passes by

5. The Skywalk is a major construction project on former railway lands and is an enclosed walkway that is an integral part of the Toronto Path. The locals know him well. It is a 30-kilometre network of underground pedestrians linking Toronto’s subway stations, office buildings, shops, hotels and shopping centres.

   Passes by

6. Roy Thomson Hall, Toronto's music hall, opened in 1982. The city’s internationally renowned Symphony Orchestra has been seated in its sloping circular architecture, made of glass and uncommon since 2002.

   Passes by

7. In a city where our gaze is easily lost in height from one skyscraper to another, it is true that it is shady to have to focus your attention on the ground, and yet. Launched in 1998, Canada’s Walk of Fame honours the success and work of Canada’s leading personalities through a series of stars.

   Passes by

8. Surprising piece of history, lost in this ultra futuristic glass immensity, St Andrew’s Church challenges our curiosity. Designed in 1876 by a Canadian architect and businessman, this religious building was used from the outset to house a congregation of the Presbyterian Church where lay people are elected to its leadership.

   Passes by

9. Queen Street West is one of Toronto’s best-known sections and is constantly buzzing with energy with its many dining venues, independent shops and art galleries.

   Passes by

10. It is true that in the contemporary architectural genre, here we are more used to tall glass towers rather than this kind of building. Far from being trivial, the Sharp Centre for Design opened in 2004 as part of a project to expand the campus of OCAD University, the Ontario School of Art and Design.

    Passes by

11. Recognized as one of the finest museums in North America, the Art Gallery of Ontario is far from being housed in an old building, contrary to what is commonly seen. Neither the municipality nor any public body was responsible for the creation of this place in 1900.

    Passes by

12. Before crossing the road, stop for a moment and look to your left. You're on University Avenue. A significant amount of the city’s most serious institutions are located on either side of this wide eight-lane artery.

About Toronto

Toronto is Canada's biggest city, set on the shore of Lake Ontario, a patchwork of neighbourhoods under the tall needle of the CN Tower.

The CN Tower, 553 metres high, dominates a downtown skyline of glass towers, and the harbourfront below runs along Lake Ontario with ferries to the largely car-free Toronto Islands. The Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario are major collections, the St Lawrence Market is a long-established food hall, and the Distillery District has cobbled lanes between Victorian brick factories.
