Travel Guide to Toronto, Canada

Beautiful and modern metropolis, Toronto is a place where you can see glittering skyscrapers and beautiful old buildings, spacious parks and sports stadiums, museums and concert halls. Such a wide choice of architectural, cultural and entertainment programs make Toronto one of the most popular tourist attractions visited by tenths of thousands of tourists each year.
Yonge Star is the main street of the city. Here you will find a huge number of restaurants and shops. We should also mention that the street has practically no traffic, so Yonge Star has become a favorite place for walking among both citizens and tourists. Not far away from the center of the city is located the biggest Exhibition Center of the country - Ontario Science Centre. Here are located a little less than eight hundred halls and galleries. As you might guess from the title, all of them are devoted to research and discoveries. Here visitors can see not only unique exhibits, but also to take part in exciting experiments.
Mackenzie House is without a doubt one of the most beautiful architectural structures of the city. This is also the house of the first mayor of Toronto. It was converted into a museum that provides its visitors with the history of Toronto. Besides the examination of collections of historical artifacts, visitors have an opportunity to taste wonderful dishes prepared according to traditional recipes - the dining room of the house has been turned into a wonderful restaurant. Art-lovers should definitely visit Art Gallery of Ontario, which is considered the largest museum in North America. The halls of the gallery occupy a whole quarter! Here are exhibited over 24 thousand works of medieval and modern painters. Visitors will surely enjoy a collection of textiles, pottery, sculptures, and even shoes.
The underground town named PATH is definitely the most unusual decision of modern architects. It is located under the central square of the city. Here you can visit several restaurants and all most popular stores.
