Toronto is Canada's largest city and financial capital, a dense, multicultural metropolis where the CN Tower anchors a skyline of glass high-rises above Lake Ontario. Its neighbourhoods read like a world map, from Chinatown to Little Italy, making it one of the most diverse cities on the continent.

Getting thereMost travellers arrive at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), connected to downtown Union Station by the UP Express train in about 25 minutes. Buses and taxis from the airport's regional hub also serve the city for those travelling outside UP Express operating hours.
