Get to know Toronto and its slow-growing pleasures. Although the famous Niagara Falls are nearby, Toronto isn't a city with a checklist full of attractions. But its summer festivals, the spicy corners of its markets, the beachfront boardwalks and the music pouring out of its neighbourhood eateries will slowly and surely seduce you.

What Gets A Canadian Riled
Some years ago, in an attempt to entertain tourists, Toronto officials placed more than 300 brightly coloured fibreglass moose throughout the city. These were repeatedly attacked by angry citizens, and have now been removed.
This is Canada's business capital and largest city, a clean, safe and vibrant metropolis where real estate prices are high and blood pressure levels are low. A centre for Anglo-Canadian culture, it's also one of the great ethnic melting pots of the world.'Whatever buildings I saw in Toronto remained in my mind and came out in the form of Metropolis.' - Joe Shuster (co-creator of Superman)
