Discover what Toronto has to offer

Toronto is one of the world’s most iconic cities for its diverse food scene, lovable locals, world-class entertainment and thriving arts culture. Whether you’re the type of traveller who loves to try new foods, dive into the local culture, learn the town’s history or just do some shopping, Toronto fits the bill. Thanks to an SNL skit by Steve Martin, Toronto is often coined as “New York, but without all the stuff” and it’s absolutely true. The Canadian capital is home to a plethora of world-class museums, shops, unique restaurants and an incredible melting pot of culture.

One of Toronto’s biggest highlights is its incredible diversity. It’s often listed as one of the most multicultural and multi-racial cities in the world and is known for its welcoming atmosphere of immigrants and travellers from all corners of the globe. More than 51% of Toronto region residents were born outside Canada – more than any other metro region in North America, and greater than London, Sydney, Melbourne, Paris and Amsterdam.

The global influence on Toronto can be felt all around the city – especially on the food front. One of Toronto’s biggest claims to fame is its thriving food scene. Whether you’re looking to cosy up with some savoury Jamaican oxtail soup, chow down on classic kimchi and bibimbap, or get a taste of Mumbai street food; Toronto really has it all.

Toronto is also known for its incredible art. All year round you’ll find world-class expos held around the city and some of the world’s best art galleries just waiting to be procured. The Gallery of Ontario is recognized as one of the most distinguished art museums in the world and boasts a collection of more than 9,000 works of art. Additionally, The Royal Ontario Museum holds the title for Canada’s largest and most comprehensive collection of art, culture and nature from around the globe.
