The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Toronto, Canada

June 15, 2021 Etsuko Causey

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Royal Conservatory of Music

Classical, jazz, pop, opera, and world music are right at home in Koerner Hall. Its high ceiling and first-rate projection and communication technology make it perfect for films, lectures, and educational or corporate conferences. With its layered ribbon of wood forming a floating ceiling canopy, integrating an acoustic reflector, performance lighting, and technical bridges, Koerner Hall provides a dramatic yet intimate ambience between the audience and performers. The spectacular glass lobbies welcome guests to Koerner Hall and offer an extraordinary view of the city.

One of the most successful architecture of merging old with new, in my opinion. The theatre itself is gorgeous and the acoustics superb. Most performers who stepped onto the stage for their first time always commented on the beauty of the space. It is! It is indeed such a perfect theatre; perfect also in size as one can't have a bad seat there. The choice of programming is varied, eclectic, and they offer music for all tastes. I absolutely adore the Royal Conservatory of Music (Koerner Hall).

We were fortunate to get a table right by the window.. the revolving restaurant has great views of the city as you are slowly moving... the coolest is to watch the flights taking off and landing into Billy Bishop airport.

Often compared to New York City's Soho, Queen Street is the place to go for trendy dining and nightlife, plus cutting-edge fashion, art galleries, antique shops and bookstores.

Take a streetcar ride from one end to the other. Walk so you don't miss an attraction or event or store. All the big chain stores are here as well as local artisans sell used and new. Every km on this street has something for everyone. East to west your eyes will be exhausted with all the various things to do.

My father, has a disability and needs a walker, called the dome and they set up handicap parking underneath the dome. We walked twenty feet to the elevator. Then to the 100 section seats which was another twenty feet, unbelievable, so easy, so convenient, just a great afternoon at the ball park. The Jay's and the dome make it so accessible for disabled people to enjoy the game, bravo, your the best

We took a stroll along the boardwalk. It was well attended. Families and couples walked, individuals ran or jogged, folks walked their dogs. Everyone had an enjoyable experience. Trees had been planted and benches placed in memory of loved ones all along the way. Many were decorated for the season. A delightful walk for us before heading home.

Toronto Harbour

Encompassing the city's downtown area, the harbor is known particularly for its shops, restaurants, ferry terminals and marinas.

Reviewed By michaelaT8138GW - Toronto, Canada

This is a great place to spend time....the options are endless. Terrific cycle and or jogging/walking trail that goes for many kilometers along the lake (and links to many streets and cycle paths going north into the core). It has harbourfront centre with art and entertainment spaces, right next to the Queens Quay indoor mall riddled with shopping and dining, and the Power Plant art gallery. Lots of good spots along the waterfront to take the sun too. There are stretches of grass to sprawl out on, muskoka chairs to take the sun, and the odd picnic bench for a bite or a card game. This is a happening, lively part of a vibrant city. Rent a canoe! Rent a paddleboard, go for a cycle.....take a walk, then have a bite to eat. Enjoy!

Riverdale Farm

Toronto's Riverdale Farm covers 7.5 scenic acres and is a hot spot for families. Along with the wooded areas, ponds and gardens, there are plenty of farm animals to visit. All this and more in the heart of downtown Toronto.

Reviewed By FamilyinFL

This little farm was a great place to escape from the busyness of the city. We went in the afternoon after a morning of sightseeing around downtown. There was a day camp with about 15 kids and 3 or 4 counselors, but they were only in one area so it was still pretty quiet. Besides us and them, there were only two or three other families at the farm. In addition to the animals, they have a lot of beautiful flowers and a nice garden area that was growing very well. The animals and the grounds in general looked very well taken care of and the workers that we saw and spoke to were friendly and happy. If you're visiting Toronto and have younger kids or just like to see farm animals, Riverdale Farm is a gem in the city.
