Things to do in Toronto, Canada: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

August 12, 2021 Velvet Champine

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.

Brookfield Place

Reviewed By MyCoachEd - Toronto, 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!!

Toronto Union

One of Toronto's premier architectural landmarks, this 750-foot-long, classically-inspired hall is the main juncture of the city's rail and subway transit systems.

Reviewed By Joenorton2552 - Huddersfield, United Kingdom

The building itself is stunning and was an amazing place to explore - we stopped for a coffee to take in the architecture, especially the beautiful arched ceiling of the main hall. We also used the excellent GO train to leave the city for the evening - frequent and cost effective trains allowed us to do this - kids 12 and under are free making for a well priced family outing
