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.
Top-ranked sights in Toronto: CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market, Entertainment District.
