Top 5 activities
one can do in Toronto
Undeniably, Toronto appears to rise
right from the calm glassed waters of Lake Ontario, that complements the city
largely. Bearing an impressive skyline, this is Canada's much loved city that
loves to show it off to its visitors. Right from the thriving zoo to the
emblematic CN Tower, you'll drool over umpteen things to do in the 'Hogtown',
a common nickname for Toronto. If we were to tell you the reasons for loving
this city and narrowing down the top things to do, these are the ones that'should be' on the top of your list as you book flights to Toronto.
Wet on the edge
Get your cameras ready as you
traverse for 100 minutes from the Toronto main city centre to face the
thundering sound of 800,000 gallons of water hurling down the twisted cliffs.
The Niagara is a spectacle not to be missed. The Table Rock allows you to push
your fears apart and stand at the edge of the famous Horseshoe Falls.
Would you dare to go one step
forward and descend 40 metres into the falls and stand beside a curtain of
water? If you can conquer you horrors here, then soaring over the falls on a
helicopter will be a walk in the park.

The impressive blue yonder
From a distance it's engrossing to
admire the blurred image of the city reflecting on the waters against the
painter's blue sky, but it's fascinating to gaze at the tall, pin-like
dominator challenging its neighbouring edifices. The 554 metres tall CN Tower
is impossible to resist while visiting Toronto.
Once you're on the top, you're on
your own my friend! The bird's eye view from that level is spellbinding. You
might have figured that out while travelling with flight from London to
Toronto. The outdoor SkyTerrace, the SkyPod and walking on air on the Glass
Floor is nothing less than intriguing. Do it, if you're on such a height.

Avoid dropping while shopping
Be it tiny crammed shops or
avant-garde malls, Toronto has an impressive collection of shops from
world-class brands to exclusive designers and captivating open-air markets
selling fresh produce and local merchandise. If antiques is your interest, you
will not mind spying St. Lawrence Market. It's a place to eat, shop and unwind.
Bookworms can jaunt down to a nearby bookstore to grab a good read.
The city also hosts a gigantic
consumer craft show twice a year. Now the best part - everything sold at the
show is handmade and awesome. You may like the names of top 5 markets in

Eat well !!!
In Toronto, you can take your tummy
on a world tour and savour a fusion of cuisine. The reason is, more than half
the population of Toronto came from several different countries and hence, food
is not only a national past time but a celebration. Before you drool any
further, just head towards Chinatown, Little Italy and Little India. With
Toronto flights ensure that you leave some room for French fries and cheese
curds topped with a light brown gravy. That's Poutine for you!
