Things to Do in Toronto

Parlez-vous Francais? In Toronto, it’s easy to be whisked away to the world of 19th-century France. Toronto hotels put you in close proximity to markets for your fromage fix, from gruyere to buffalo cheddar. Follow the waft of warm baguettes fresh from the oven, and pack a picnic fit for royalty. You won’t need a French phrase book for this outing; the only word you need to know is “château.” Enjoy your feast on the beautifully manicured grounds of Casa Loma, Canada’s very own castle, built in the early 1900s, then explore the suites and secret passages on the 5-acre estate.

If you can’t bear to leave the world of kings and queens, continue your journey at the Royal Ontario Museum. Experience five floors of extraordinary exhibits ranging from the artifacts of ancient Roman nobility to European aristocratic fashions. Enter the Gallery of Gems and Gold and admire the intense sparkling colors of the “Light of the Desert,” a 900-carat gemstone. This delicate jewel is a must-see on any wise wanderer’s list of Toronto attractions.
