The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Downtown West, Canada
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

We were fortunate to get a table right by the window.. the revolving restaurant has great views of the city as you are slowly moving... the coolest is to watch the flights taking off and landing into Billy Bishop airport.

Beautiful exhibit, stunning sculptures, but in an oddly out of the way place, until you understand why it is where it is. Better to access from Queen's Quay than the foot of Bathurst St. as the approach is much more appealing and you face the sculptures when you get down to the bottom at the lake. Some of the names of those that perished are engraved on the limestone sculpture of a ship at the bottom end of the memorial, the limestone all coming from Kilkenny. Very peaceful and serene little park, with a history that is so sad, yet so filled with hope for those that arrived in Canada.

Just north of front between Bay and Yonge Street - a short block from Union Station. Nicest lobby/galleria of all Toronto Towers (Scotia Plaza a close second). Home to Marche, the Hocket Hall of Fame and Hocket themed Tim Horton's and my favorite newspaper stand on the Yonge Street Side. Please dont miss it and please let me know, if you liked it!!
9. Toronto Waterfront
10. The Glenn Gould Gathering
