The loveliest way to discover Toronto is to rent a bike and take a tour along the riverside, through the villa lanes and the beautiful nature/parks around the city (especially in fall)

If you want to splurge on a meal in a nice restaurant in Toronto, watch for special events called Summelicious and Winterlicious. During these times the best restaurants all offer special fixed price menus at a substantial savings from normal dining costs. Great way to sample the best of Toronto.

home of our parliament, what more can i say?

I suggest going in the fall if you are going because the colours of the leaves on the trees is simply beautiful.

It's a great get-away from the city because it is quiet and relaxing. Moreover, the Deerhurst Resort is amazing! (a little pricey though) The resort provides a lot of activities at your disposal, such as kayaking, swimming, hiking, as well as night shows indoors. There's a mini beach at one end of the resort which is connected to Lake Peninsula. The overall atmosphere is calm and the staff are friendly.

Beerbistro is a must visit for anyone who loves beer with food. Too much time and effort has been spent on pairing wine with food, when what one really wants is a beer. At Beer Bistro, they use their pallets to choose which beers got best with each meal. An AMAZING selection of beers (and their Frites are great, too)! Their lunch menu is reasonably priced for those on a budget.

The Bata Shoe Museum is well worth the time and ticket price. Even for those who are not shoe lovers will enjoy this walk through history. This stop is filled with histrical shoe facts, preservation information, artwork (in shoe form), and of course shoes!

Really nice place, but super expensive. Honestly not sure it's worth the price - seems like your paying more for the fact that you're in Niagara On The Lake than anything else.

The view from the CN Tower is very good on a clear day. You can see far into the distance, although Toronto lacks features (mountains, etc...) that would make the view truly incredible.

It is a very interesting experience to be taken up that high via an elevator. The height feels a little too high to be real, although the glass floor is a bit nerve-racking. It is supposed to be safe enough to withstand an enormous amount of weight, but there is always that little bit of doubt!

stay on the canadian side. its very commercial anyway. but much cleaner. and the view is definatly better as well.
still it feels a bit like little Vegas with all the hotels and casinos.
