Toronto is a cosmopolitan city in the Canadian provence of Ontario. Home to nearly 8 million people Toronto is a bustling city with plenty to do and see.
If you are into historic places you will love St Lawrence Market. It is located in the Old Town Toronto neighbourhood at Jarvis and Front Street. This is an amazing food market in an historic building and area.

The Eaton Centre is a shoppers haven, if you cant find it here you wont find it anywhere. I have to admit I have had a little retail therapy at this complex. A list of all the stores is on the website.

Toronto’s waterfront is spectacular, apart from water activities it is also home to The Rogers Centre home of the famous Blue Jays Baseball Club an awesome domed stadium formally known as the Sky Dome. The center can hold more than 50,000 people depending on the event, not just sporting events are held here but many concerts and other forms of entertainment. Tours of the Rogers Centre are available for those wanting to learn more of its operations.
The CN Tower offers magnificent views over the city from the Lookout. You can hop in a glass elevator that climbs up to the top of the tower on the outside of the structure in 58 seconds to a height of 346 meters.
If you are adventurous the next floor down has the Glass Floor, this may sound tame but believe me I have stood on that glass floor and looking down is not for the faint hearted but still worth a look.
If you are inclined you can take the elevator up another 33 floors to the Sky Pod where there are 360 degree views. You will need a separate ticket for Sky Pod.
But why stop there, for thrill seekers there is the EdgeWalk, not for this fluffy duck I am afraid, but visitors in groups of six via an overhead safety rail and trolley harness can hang off the edge of the tower. The EdgeWalk runs for 1.5 hours with the outdoor walk lasting 30 minutes.
