Toronto is Canada’s most populous city, and is home to the Toronto Blue Jays (MLB), Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) and the Toronto Raptors (NBA).

It is a very diverse city with many cultures which is reflected in the wide variety of entertainment and food that are available to be enjoyed.

Some of the top sites to see in Toronto include:

1. CN Tower - At 1815 feet and with it’s glass floor (both on the main viewing level and on one of the elevators) the CN Tower is one of the premiere tourist attractions in the city. If you are already planning on going out for dinner in the city and want to visit the tower, consider combining the two with a visit to the 360 restaurant. The restaurant provides a great way to see the entire city and lake front while enjoying some excellent cuisine.

2. Rogers Centre - While most Torontonians still prefer to call it the Skydome, the home of the Toronto Blue Jays is now officially known as the Rogers Centre. With Blue Jay ticket prices starting at a very reasonable level, this is a great way to see a ball game. For fans from out of town it is also a cheaper way to see the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox or any other of the top ranked MLB teams. Again, if you’re considering also going out for dinner in the city a great way to combine the two is to combine your game with dinner at one of the restaurants located in the Centre. Some of the options include Sightlines as well as Windows.

3. Casa Loma - This castle was built in 1917 by Sir Henry Pellat. It has a rather interesting and unfortunate history as far Sir Henry is concerned, but for the visitor it is quite fascinating both from a design and historic standpoint. There are also some military items from Sir Henry’s collection. This is a great place to go to on a rainy day as the majority of the tour is inside.

4. Little Italy - Canada is home to one of the largest Italian populations outside of Italy. If you love all things Italian heading down to College Street West is highly recommended. In downtown Toronto the east/ west dividing line is Yonge Street. Highly recommended is Bitondo’s as they make the best panzerotti around - the decor is a throw back to the 70’s but you won’t notice with your taste buds on overload.

These are just a few of the great things to do in Toronto - a city not to be missed.
