Things to Do in Toronto

Toronto is a mecca of multiculturalism in the western world, some say best represented by its food. Just take a trip to Little Italy, Chinatown, Little Portugal or any of the city’s unique cultural districts to find out. In fact, around 6.5% of businesses in Toronto are restaurants or bars.

But when we talk about Toronto it's so hard to focus on just one thing. The city itself is a sprawling landscape of glass skyscrapers, gothic cathedrals, lush green spaces, and bay and gable style homes, all overlooking the water. Whether you’re looking to go to the beach, shop at one of the world’s largest markets, attend a play, see a live performance, or go sightseeing, Toronto has it all. Oh yeah and there’s also Niagara Falls too, in case you forgot.

The best memories are experienced with others. That’s why Canadream offers a convenient location in Brampton, just outside the city, to help you fuel up and gather all the supplies you need to create a memorable Toronto vacation with your friends or family.
