Endlessly Entertaining Toronto

Ribbons of charming Victorian buildings cut  through swaths of avant-garde architecture (even some creations by hometown-boy Frank Gehry).

Well-treed streets frame blocks of luxury shops – shops which then continue enticingly underground for kilometres in all directions, eventually reaching an incredible harbourfront shopping-scape set against a vast, deep blue lake.

Yes, even at first glance, Toronto's downtown is a world of fascinating contrasts. And the MTCC is within a 10 minute stroll of most major attractions.


In addition, Toronto also has one of the world's most thriving arts, culture and entertainment districts.
 

Get Out and Meet the People

Yet no matter where you go, you'll find the rumours are true: Torontonians are among the most positive and passionate people you'll meet anywhere. (Something you'll appreciate in our staff too.)

This provincial capital is also recognized as the most ethnically diverse city on earth – and perhaps that is at the heart of Toronto's success.

Think of us as a mosaic of the many cultures of Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Pacific – all resonating in exceptional harmony in this diverse and flourishing city.
 

Get Lost in Arts & Entertainment

On any given day – or night – downtown Toronto is alive with arts and entertainment as varied as the cultures that thrive here, from the exuberance of the colourful Caribana Festival, to the serene sophistication of the cross-town Nuit Blanche evening art exhibits.

Fact is, when it comes to diversions, you can find almost anything here – Broadways shows, endless ethnic festivals and restaurants, myriad museums and art galleries, gritty blues clubs, mega-concerts, ballet, symphony, pro-sports, Indy car races...

Then there's the innumerable arts, comedy and film festivals of all sizes (well attended by A-list celebs). The distractions never end!

 

Get Around

Even so, Toronto is a patchwork of former colonial villages in itself – rich in historical sites, surrounded by quaint towns, wine regions, antiquing areas and many other getaways – even mighty Niagara Falls is less than 2 hours away.

Transportation is also convenient and accessible, whether local, regional or international. And of course, all the world's leading hotels are here too.
