Toronto
Canada’s largest city is a major economic, cultural, and artistic hub in North America. It offers numerous museums, distinctive architecture (including the CN Tower), multicultural neighborhoods (Little Italy, Little India, Chinatown...), and a lively atmosphere. Just across the water, the Toronto Islands provide a popular recreational (and pedestrian-only) area, particularly known for its beaches.
