Find Out Why Toronto Is One Of The World’s Most Liveable Cities

Toronto is a great place to visit, anytime of the year. In recent years, the city’s once industrial zones have been transformed, and now in Toronto you can sip cocktails in Little Italy, eat at experimental restaurants in Little Portugal, enjoy vibrant bakeries in Kensington Market, and stroll past old Victorian distilleries housing cutting edge galleries in the Distillery District. Brightsun Travel has exceptional Toronto cheap flights offers so you can discover for yourself why Toronto always ranks highly on lists of the world’s most liveable cities.

Vibrant Neighbourhoods

Toronto is one of the most multicultural diverse cities on earth, evident in its vibrant neighbourhoods and cosmopolitan districts. Toronto’s multi-cultural mix of neighbourhoods, with an array of markets, museums, gardens and restaurants help Toronto maintain its top spot on lists of the world’s most liveable cities. Toronto has recently transformed its industrial and manufacturing pockets into cutting edge neighbourhoods, including the Junction neighbourhood, where you will find trendy new galleries and bars emerging every week. Elsewhere in Toronto there's the bustling Queen Street West, where you can dine at experimental restaurants and shop colourful boutiques until your heart’s content.

Memorable Markets

At the city’s melting pot is the spectacular St Lawrence Market that has been selling produce since 1803, with an array of food stalls to explore. Located in the city’s Old Town, you can spend hours at St Lawrence Market, where, at the weekends, farmers showcase produce from around the region, and you can eat some of the best sandwiches in the city. In nearby Kennington Market you’ll find vintage stores, bakeries and colourful Victorian buildings.

Parks, Falls & Islands

In the summer in Toronto you can take a picnic on the banks of Lake Ontario, whilst in the winter, you can ice skate around beautiful public skating rinks. At any time of the year, you can take side trips to the breathtaking Niagara Falls, which are lit up at night for several hours in the summer. Or, take a short ferry ride to Toronto Island, and spend your afternoons in beautiful parkland and strolling lakeside boardwalks.

City Skyline & Street Art

Toronto was chosen as the location for the sci-fi blockbuster movie, X-Men, and for good reason. The city boasts one of the country’s, if not the world’s, most impressive city skylines, with towering skyscrapers, including the iconic CN Tower, a needle shaped skyscraper that once was the tallest freestanding structure in the world, measuring over 500m tall. The CN Tower offers impressive views over the city, from its decadent 360 restaurant, Sky Pod and Edge Walk, an outdoor walk around the perimeter of the main building. On the ground, Toronto’s vibrant street art scene helps the city take on a whole new identity, where colourful alleys, such as Graffiti Alley, come alive with fascinating murals.
