As the largest city in Canada, Toronto sees an incredible number of visitors to the city each year. There is something in Toronto for everyone, including cultural areas, historic landmarks and neighbourhoods, amusement, and live entertainment. Here is a quick look at some of the more popular attractions in the city of Toronto.

Canadian Culture

Toronto is home to one of the six original hockey teams in the National Hockey League, and perhaps the most storied of them all. The Toronto Maple Leafs play at the Air Canada Centre, and fans of hockey from all over have to catch at least one game here when they visit, even if they are rooting for the visitors.

Toronto is also appropriately the home of the Hockey Hall of Fame, which moved to a new building in 1993. This is sacred ground for any serious hockey fan, showcasing the very best players in the world and including displays such as memorabilia and of course the Stanley Cup. Visitors can also take part in the many interactive displays the Hall has to offer.

Queen Street is located within one of the most attractive neighbourhoods in Toronto for tourists. The entire street is generally hopping during the week, as people take in the architecture and unique shops that Toronto has to offer. Anchoring the display is the CHUM building, which houses many of Canada's hippest television networks, including MuchMusic. If you're lucky, the building might be hosting one of the network's famous Intimate and Interactive specials with a good musical guest; they always include street portions in these shows as well as live performances.

History and Landmarks

Toronto is home to some of the most amazing buildings in Canada, each with a story, some of which go back to the creation of the nation. One of the best places to go of course are the Provincial Legislature Buildings, located at Queen's Park.

Other landmarks in Toronto include the huge Casa Loma, which is located just off Spadina Road. This incredible structure was actually built to be the largest residence in Canada, but the excesses of building eventually caused the investor, Sir Henry Mill Pellatt (who also developed historic neighbourhoods such as Rosedale) to go into bankruptcy. Another historic building is Union Station, a transportation hub, on Front Street.

Toronto is also the home of several museums. The Royal Ontario Museum is undergoing renovations, and houses several unique displays that all visitors will find appealing, including art, dinosaurs, and visual displays of aspects of Canadian and European history. Toronto also offers a unique experience for those who like footwear at the Bata Shoe Museum.

These are just a few of the many tourist hot spots that can be fond in Toronto. Canada's Wonderland, just a few miles north, Ontario Place, and Centre Island are all great places that offer opportunities for entertainment in the summer months. In short, Toronto is a place that is guaranteed to keep tourists of all tastes busy for their entire trip.
