Perched along the shores of Lake Ontario and surrounded by ferry-accessible islands, Canada's largest city gives any American metropolis a run for its money. While some may think of Toronto as leaning more to the serious side, it has most certainly outgrown its former reputation.

Vibrant, trendy, and delightfully multicultural, Toronto stretches well beyond “business-only” today, while still remaining a hotbed for dynamic young professionals. From sports to culture to cinema — with the world-renowned TIFF and continual film shoots — to gastronomy and much more, Toronto is a magnet for everyone from foodies to families, to fans of the more festive pursuits.
