Destination guide

Experience Toronto from vacation home rentals

A patchwork of multicultural neighborhoods with a vibrant downtown core, Toronto has big city diversity and small town bonhomie. More than 140 languages are spoken here, and it's estimated that over half of Toronto's residents were born outside Canada. That means you can step out of your Toronto vacation rental and stumble onto something interesting any day of the week. During chilly winters, bundle up or head indoors to enjoy diverse dining options, theater, and movies. When the summer sun shines, relax on the area's many beaches, drink at patio bars, and stroll through botanical gardens.

They don't call it "the city within a park" for nothing. Edwards Gardens and the Toronto Botanical Gardens are right next to each other and provide acres of colorful scenery, plus programs for the little ones. Speaking of kids, the Royal Ontario Museum is a paradise for curious children and adults. The permanent collection features 6 million artifacts of natural history and world culture, from dinosaur bones to Egyptian mummies. Afterwards, you can trade in the ancient for the modern at CN Tower, a feat of 1970s engineering that offers glass-elevator rides up to breathtaking views.
