🌆 Quick Fire Facts
• Biggest city in Canada
Yup. Not the capital (that’s Ottawa), but Toronto is the main-character energy city.
• CN Tower flex
The CN Tower used to be the tallest free-standing structure in the world. You can walk on a glass floor and question your life choices.
• Right on the water
Sits on Lake Ontario, which is so big it feels like an ocean. Beaches, trails, sunset views? Elite.
• Languages everywhere
Over 200 languages spoken. It’s one of the most multicultural cities on Earth — whole neighborhoods feel like different countries.
• Underground city??
There’s a massive underground walkway system called PATH so locals can avoid winter like tactical experts.

Toronto hosts the huge Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Celebrities casually walking around downtown = normal September behavior.
• Neighborhood personality disorder (in a good way)
• Kensington Market → indie, vintage, global street food
• Distillery District → cobblestone streets, art, cute cafés, date-night central
• Chinatown, Little Italy, Greektown… the food tour never ends
• Island escape
A short ferry ride to the Toronto Islands = beaches, skyline views, bikes, picnic core.
