EXPLORING IN TORONTO, CANADA .
What You Should Do While There ????
Toronto Must-See Attraction !!!!
This is my first time travel to Toronto. I choose Toronto as my travel destination due to Toronto is a big, beautiful and efficient city. It has emerged over the past half-century to become the center of commerce, culture and communications in Canada. This city is a nonstop adventure, with its rich history and breathtaking architecture. Here are some things you can do while visiting Toronto!
Firstly i would bring you to CN Tower & EdgeWalk !!!
CN Tower |
1,815 feet and 5 inches high, the CN Tower is the tallest freestanding tower in the Western Hemisphere. Six glass-front elevators zoom up the outside of the tower at 20 feet per second, and the ride takes less than a minute! Each elevator has one floor-to-ceiling glass wall—three opaque walls make the trip easier on anyone prone to vertigo—and all have glass floor panels, so you can watch the earth disappear before your eyes.
You can also stop and snack on Canadian bacon, also known as “peameal bacon,” at the Market’s Carousel Bakery.
Casa Loma
Casa Loma ( " House on the Hill " in Spanish ) is a palace with an air of European Castle which is currently one of the most visited monuments of Toronto. It is one of the largest residences in Canada with more than 90 rooms ( Why?) Its owner - Sir Henry Pellatt - lost its monopoly and all their property was confiscated, including this beautiful mansion .
Interior Casa LomaOld City Hall |
Yes, it's true. Toronto has a ....Old City Hall and Modern. Speaking of old ...although here the concept of old is only on once the building has just over a hundred years ( made in 1999). It took about 20years to built and has been demolished in order to give a set of skyscrapers . Fortunately it still stands firm and is currently seat of the Municipal Courts of Toronto and received a number of television show .
Fort York
Toronto is a modern but with strong roots in a city rich at historical past. The Fort York is an example of how a cosmopolitan city may have in your heart a time machine that transports us back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The fort was built to protect the city from possible attacks from the U.S. and currently receives Beer Festival Toronto, a much happier fate than to be the scene of bloody battles.
Union Station
Union Station is the main train station in Toronto and one, this station have over 250 thousand people pass through busiest stations . Its construction began in 1914 (in full fruit scarcity of materials in World War I) but was only opened in 1927. Since its opening, which was attended by the Prince of Wales, has received many thousands of immigrants who arrived in the city. It is one of the witnesses of the rise of the big city world power.
The Distillery
The Distillery District is located in the city center and was built in 1832 and it became the Gooderham and Worts Distillery The producing around two million liters of whiskey a year. This town has one of the best preserved collections of Victorian Industrial Architecture .
This distillery has been in operation for over 150 years and in the '90s became a filming location for several Hollywood films. However, something big was still reserved for this distillery. In 2001 he started an ambitious project that aimed to revive this historic space. Its more than 49 buildings have been restored and a "city" dedicated to the arts, culture and entertainment that rose from the ashes in 2003 was created. It is currently one of the biggest attractions of Toronto.
