One of Canada's most visited cities, Toronto has many attractions. It's a large and highly diverse city with great food, cultural venues and recreational facilities, and its location on the shores of Lake Ontario, one of the world's largest lakes, adds to its appeal. Being so spread out, getting around by public transport takes a bit of planning. That's why many visitors opt for car rental in Toronto. With a modern car at your disposal, the city becomes much easier to explore.
The city's cultural attractions include the Royal Ontario Museum located at 100 Qeen's Park. With thousands of exhibits representing world culture and a natural history section, the ROM, as it's affectionately known, is Canada's premier museum. Other museums and cultural venues in the city include the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art at 111 Queen's Park and the Monument to Multiculturalism in front of Union Train Station. Toronto's most prominent landmark is the CN Tower, which stands over 550 metres tall and offers stupendous views over the city. Located at 290 Bremner Boulevard, it features several viewing platforms, an aerial walkway, and a revolving restaurant.
Toronto is home to a multicultural population, which, for the visitor, means a great choice of restaurants specialising in a wide variety of cuisines. Middle-Eastern, Latin American, oriental and local fayre are all available. For great shopping take a trip to Toronto's Queen Street West district. It provides visitors and locals with retail therapy unsurpassed anywhere else in Canada, and it's a great place to hang out and explore at your leisure. Nightlife is another of Toronto's claims to fame. There are many places to dance the night away or relax in comfort and meet some of the locals. You'll find a warm welcome awaits you.
If you opt for car rental in Toronto rather than public transport, you'll find it much easier to visit many interesting places spread out all over the city. It also makes it easier to travel further afield if you fancy a trip to Niagara Falls, which is just 75 miles south-east of Toronto. Morning and evening rush hour traffic in the city can slow your driving progress considerably, but at other times, you'll find the traffic manageable and roads easy to navigate to your chosen destinations.
