Welcome to the world’s most multiculturally diverse city, Toronto. Known to locals as the ‘Six’, Canada’s hipster enclave and largest city is all about unique neighborhoods, fusion food, fascinating museums, vintage shopping and a healthy obsession with all things hockey. At the center of it all is the city’s icon, the CN Tower, its 553 meter (1814 foot) spire dominating the landscape. After settling in to your hotel, you can wander around the district’s open-air markets which will no doubt get tummies rumbling. For dinner why not head to near-by Kensington Market, arguably the most diverse of all the city’s neighborhoods where the idea of fusion food is taken to all new heights.
