 A Day at the Beach |
Lakeshore Boulevard E (at Coxwell Road) Toronto, ON M4M 1B4 Canada +1 416 392 8186 http://www.city.toronto.on.ca/... parks@city.toronto.on.ca |
Sporting 35 hectares of waterfront property, this park located in the Beaches area is definitely the hippest piece of green within the city limits. Known for its beaches and boardwalk, this is the place summertime was made for. The Mix Musicfest and the Labatt Blue Pro Beach Volleyball Tour add to the already busy pace of in-line skaters, walkers, joggers and cyclists along the winding Martin Goodman Trail. Facilities include a fully accessible washroom, drinking fountain, fire-pits and picnic area. There is a public boat launch and plenty of available parking. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 World's tallest free-standing structure |
301 Front Street West Toronto, ON M5V 2T6 Canada +1 416 601 4729 http://www.cntower.ca/ web_cntower@cntower.ca |
At 553.3 metres, this is officially the world's tallest building. Since its spectacular opening in 1976, the tower has hosted close to two million visitors a year. One of the most exciting ways to see the world is from the exterior, glass-floored observation deck, located 342 metres above the ground. Or you can go up to the Space Deck at 447 metres, the world's tallest observation deck with a 160-kilometre view. The revolving 360 Degrees Restaurant and Horizons Bar complete the dizzying picture.

Canada's Summertime Party |
Lakeshore Blvd & Dufferin St (Exhibition Place) Toronto, ON M6K 3C3 Canada +1 416 393 6300 http://www.theex.com/ info@theex.com |
What began as an agricultural fair in 1878 has grown into Canada's largest annual summertime party. Known for the Midway rides, games and carnival-like festivities, the grounds are also home to an annual automotive show, a casino, a food building, Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, the Medieval Times Dinner Theatre and the Grandstand, a music amphitheatre that has been rocked by the Rolling Stones and lampooned by a wartime Bob Hope.

A visit to Toronto's grand castle estate, the former home to financier Sir Henry Pellatt, is like stepping back into the Edwardian era.

Avenue to Athens |
Danforth Avenue Toronto, ON M4K 141 Canada http://www.danforthtoronto.com/ |
As Bloor Street crosses the Don Valley Parkway, it magically emerges on the other side as Danforth Avenue. Synonymous with Greek culture, and thus amazing restaurants, this avenue cuts through the heart of Greektown. It is essentially a residential avenue and home to many parks, schools and churches. At Danforth and Main, there is a GO Transit station, the Main Street subway station and the East Toronto Athletic Field with the Ted Reeve Arena. The Danforth ends when it merges with Kingston Road (Hwy 2) at the Birchmount Park complex. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Landmark performance space |
60 Simcoe St (at King Street West) Toronto, ON M5J 2H5 Canada +1 416 593 4822 http://www.roythomson.com/ |
Its curved exterior and sloping glass awning, reflective in daylight and transparent in twilight, make this concert hall one of Toronto's distinctive downtown landmarks—and is located almost directly opposite the Royal Alexandra and The Princess of Wales theatres. The hall is also home to both the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. Since opening in 1982, hundreds of touring musicians and entertainers have performed here to appreciative crowds. Even though it seats 2,812, no one is further than 32 metres from the stage.

Largest and most famous |
214 College Street Toronto, ON M5S 1A1 Canada +1 416 978 2011 http://www.utoronto.ca/ |
Founded in 1827 and now home to over 53,000 students, this is Canada's largest and arguably most famous university. Some of the more interesting sites to visit are the main room of the University of Toronto Bookstore, the chapel and the dining hall at Trinity College, the great rooms on the second floor of the University College, Hart House and its art gallery, and the Sydney Fisher Rare Book Library. The university offers daily tours during the summer, starting at Hart House. The campus is right in the heart of the downtown core. Review © 2007, Wcities |
