Toronto is Canada's largest and most multicultural urban centre and is the most nicknamed. Call it what you will. You will hear Queen City, Toronto the Good, Hogtown, T.O., T Dot, The Big Smoke, or even Hollywood North.
Major league sports, lively festivals, and renowned theatre art make this city a globally recognized destination. Its neighbourly neighbourhoods, culturally diverse population and fascinating foodie culture make it a city well worth discovering.
One of the things the locals love about their city is the markets. Browse the produce stalls, cafes and restaurants, arts and crafts and one-of-a-kind vintage shops in bohemian Kensington Market, the postcard-pretty Distillery Historic District, St. Lawrence Market or at the Evergreen Brick Works.
Even on Toronto's windy days, it's balmy inside the Allan Gardens Conservatory. Its greenhouses are home to orchids, bromeliads, cacti, succulents, and banana trees and palms beneath a soaring glass dome. The Victorian-era greenhouse is stuffed with tropical plants and is open 365 days a year.
A city well known for its coffee, it's also easy to find a great brew. Toronto has enough varieties to satisfy the most knowledgeable and discerning tipplers, whether you're looking for a taste or a tour.
