Museums and Art Galleries– The big Toronto museums include: Art Gallery of Ontario, Royal Ontario Museum, The Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Ontario Science Centre … But for culture vultures there are many MORE Toronto attractions to explore.
Neighbourhoods – In the market for a sari? Try Little India along Gerrard Street in the east end. Craving souvlaki? Head to the Danforth in Greektown. If you’re looking for Chinese food, you’ve got 3 Chinatowns to choose from! Gay and lesbian clubs abound in the Church Street district. Look for dance clubs in the Entertainment District along King Street West. Visit the independent art galleries and shop for art and other cool stuff along Queen Street West. Gaze at the skyscrapers in the Business District. Stroll the boardwalk at The Beach in the east end.
Shopping – In Toronto shopping fans are in for a treat. Fashionistas should pack an empty suitcase for their trips to the Yorkville district and Spadina Street’s Fashion District. Vintage fans will want to check out Kensington Market and Queen Street East for consignment shops. Art lovers can pick up treasures at galleries specializing in Aboriginal and Inuit art. For funky finds, try Queen Street West. For more more info check out this site devoted to Toronto shopping: www.torontoshopaholic.com
Sports – That shrine to hockey, the Hockey Hall of Fame, is rather bizarrely housed in a former bank (but then again, perhaps not so bizarre, when you think of the salaries of today’s hockey players). While you're in the city, you may want to take in a game of professional hockey (the Toronto Maple Leafs), basketball (the Toronto Raptors), baseball (the Toronto Bluejays) or football (the Toronto Argonauts).
Toronto Tours – By bus, by boat, or by that bizarre mode of transportation, the pedicab. You can also sign up for walking tours with themes of food or history or architecture. The choice is yours.
Transportation - Toronto is served by two airports, one central train station called Union Station and a few smaller satellite stations, two bus stations, and the Toronto Transit Commission, usually called the TTC, which operates the subway, buses and street cars.
