In this guide, we highlight the best cities in Canada to visit, letting you know what they offer and what you can expect to enjoy.
Toronto

Toronto is the capital city of Canada's Ontario province and the most populous city in the entire country. This dynamic city is an incredibly exciting place to visit, boasting over 2,000 attractions amid its soaring skyscrapers. One of the most famous landmarks in the city is the CN Tower, an iconic building boasting spectacular views, especially when you walk along the edge of the building, which is 116 stories tall.
Toronto is also known for its collection of professional sports teams, including the NBA’s Toronto Raptors and its baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays. Combine this with its epic culinary scene (there are nearly 8,000 restaurants in the city) and you can rest assured that flights to Toronto will lead you to delicious local food and top entertainment. A Toronto car hire is a great choice when visiting the city, allowing you to explore the iconic Niagara Falls – less than an hour away.
Jessica, from the blog, Diary of a Toronto girl, thinks Toronto is worth visiting for its food scene alone and has painted a picture of what to expect: “Being the multicultural hub it is, Toronto has some of the best and most diverse cuisines in all of Canada. Walking along a small stretch of Queen Street West alone, you’ll be able to come across an Indian restaurant, a Japanese restaurant, and a Mexican restaurant all at once! Whatever you’re craving, you’ll probably be able to find at least a few spots here in Toronto.”

All of the statistics regarding the number of restaurants, hotels, parks and attractions for each city was sourced from TripAdvisor, whilst the data for the number of professional sports teams was sourced from Wikipedia and the Rookie Road website for Montréal.
