guide to toronto

history
Toronto, a Native American name meaning "meeting place," was first inhabited by Seneca Indians. Around 1720, the French entered the area and set up a trading post, but eventually yielded power to the British in 1793, who renamed the village York. Americans held the town during the War of 1812, and the name was changed back to Toronto. As the 19th century progressed, so did Toronto, and while it lagged slightly behind Montreal in terms of notoriety, the city underwent a rapid expansion, with a boom in architecture and an influx of its first European immigrants. But some of this ambition was put on hold when a huge fire in 1904 ruined more than 100 buildings. The Depression also took its toll on Toronto. During this part of the 20th century, the city took on the nickname "Toronto the Good," for its allegedly well-mannered and straight-laced culture. After World War II, the city received another wave of immigrants, which kick-started the city and set it on its way to becoming Canada's largest city by the end of the 20th century.

things to do
Toronto is filled with intriguing attractions, although many require a little investigation. One that surely doesn't is the omnipresent Canadian National (CN) Tower, the world's tallest freestanding building. You can take a glass-elevator ride up to the top (there's a fee), where there are two observation decks – one that's outdoors, making for a windy thrill. If you're lucky (or flush) enough to have reservations at the revolving restaurant 360, you don't have to pay for the elevator ride up. The Art Gallery of Ontario (currently being spectacularly renovated under the watchful eye of Toronto native Frank Gehry) houses an excellent, wide-ranging collection, and is also home to the incredible Henry Moore Sculpture Centre, which weighs in as the world's largest public gathering of his works. The legendary sculptor donated a great number of pieces to the Gallery after being touched by Toronto's love for his work.

Muskoka Lakes and Stratford are both popular side trips from Toronto, but you might also consider driving your hire car the 130 kilometres to Niagara-on-the-Lake. The city is known as one of the prettiest and most well-preserved 19th-century North American villages. In addition to being a draw for its quaintness and period beauty alone, Niagara-on-the-Lake is considered the capital of the acclaimed Ontario wine region. And, lest we forget, it's only a half-hour drive from that rather well-known landmark, Niagara Falls.
