Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Bay Street Corridor, Canada

August 7, 2021 Flossie Demartino

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 visited the Ontario Legislative Building to have a look at the outside architecture and grounds, which were lovely. An additional surprise was the free guided half hour tour of the main chamber and corridors of the building. Our guide was really informative and explained the history of the regional government as well as how it works today. We found it really interesting and it was really nice to go inside and have a look around.

Osgoode Hall is a classic 2 1/2 story late Palladian style structure built in 1829-32 and named for the 1st chief justice of Upper Canada. It is currently the home of the Law Society of Ontario. This Canadian national historic site was enlarged in 1844,1855,1880 and 1891 and it's great library houses the largest private collection of legal material in Canada. This 6 acre site is located in the heart of Toronto and is surrounded by a cast iron fence built in 1867. It was closed the day we visited and we would like to come back to see the inside of this regal property.

Old City Hall

Castle-like building, built in 1899 in the Romanesque Revival style, features a clock tower, "Friends of Old City Hall" exhibit and a War Memorial.

Reviewed By 716sachink - Plainview, United States

The Old City Hall which is now a courthouse is architecturally beautiful and a must visit for any traveler in Toronto. Could not visit inside as it was closed for Canada Day. Certainly worth a photo stop.
