Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Waterfront Communities-The Island, Canada

November 28, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

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.

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.

Ireland Park

Reviewed By 896cathieh - Toronto, Canada

Beautiful exhibit, stunning sculptures, but in an oddly out of the way place, until you understand why it is where it is. Better to access from Queen's Quay than the foot of Bathurst St. as the approach is much more appealing and you face the sculptures when you get down to the bottom at the lake. Some of the names of those that perished are engraved on the limestone sculpture of a ship at the bottom end of the memorial, the limestone all coming from Kilkenny. Very peaceful and serene little park, with a history that is so sad, yet so filled with hope for those that arrived in Canada.

Graffiti Alley

Reviewed By janetteagueze - Jackson, United States

I love street art, so it was cool to take a walk down Graffiti Alley and see blocks of buildings covered in AMAZING murals with various themes. It's in a safe area and definitely something you don't see everyday.
