Destination guide

Experience Toronto from a vacation rental

Nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario, Toronto's impressive skyline is dominated by scores of glass and steel skyscrapers. Locals and visitors alike scurry through the bustling city centre, home to the iconic CN Tower, the enormous Eaton Centre shopping mall, and major sports venues, plus enough revered theatres and museums to satisfy even the toughest arts critic. If you need a respite from the city's breakneck pace, take a stroll through the 400-acre High Park or soak up the sun on lakefront beaches, before retreating to your vacation rental or hotel, custom made for families, solo travellers, groups, and couples.

History

The Royal Ontario Museum is a great starting point for a historic journey through time, as exhibits span millions of years – from dinosaur fossils to contemporary works of art. Quirky history is on display at the Bata Shoe Museum, which showcases such unique items as Napoleon's socks and Elvis Presley's patent loafers. Immerse yourself in a living history experience at the Black Creek Pioneer Village, where a recreated 19th-century village demonstrates the life of Ontario's pioneers. Few things in Toronto are more sacred than the Hockey Hall of Fame, which not only celebrates the sport's legendary figures but explores its storied past.

How to get around

Transportation options near your Toronto vacation rental

Toronto's massive public transit system includes a combination of buses, streetcars, and subways. While the network is cheap and simple to use, buses and streetcars can get caught in the city's chaotic rush-hour traffic. The same is true for cars, so think twice before renting a vehicle in the city, particularly since public transportation provides access to the city's most popular landmarks. You'll find taxis around almost every corner in downtown, but be prepared to pay a pretty penny for the service. Toronto's predominantly flat landscape makes bike riding easy, just make certain you abide by the same traffic laws as cars.

Food & drink

Take a culinary trip around the globe in Toronto

Toronto's diverse make-up means its culinary landscape is just as varied. You'll find scores of authentic Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Greek, Italian, and Indian restaurants in which to eat. Toronto's most iconic dish, however, may be the simple peameal bacon sandwich, which features cornmeal-dipped cuts of pork served in a Kaiser roll. Veal sandwiches – where thin, breaded pieces of veal are covered in tomato sauce, melted cheese, and peppers inside a fluffy roll – are another Toronto institution. The city's long history of brewing beers means you'll discover tonnes of options when ordering a pint.
