of Toronto prides itself on being a safe, clean, world-class city. It is wonderful for
walkers, day or night -- on foot, or by its excellent subway, streetcar and bus system.
There is much to see and visit in the city -- landmarks, monuments, historic sites and
districts, museums, art galleries, parks, gardens and zoos, and more. And lots of cultural
and sporting events -- theatre, music, ballet, opera, and the famous Blue Jays! Look out
over Toronto and the lake from the CN Tower--at 1,750 ft/533 m the tallest freestanding
structure in the world. Or take a stroll down the boardwalk at the Beaches, or through
Chinatown and Kensington Market. Tourist information on Toronto can be found at:
