The city

Imagem
Just a brief stop at Toronto, enough to see the modern center of town.

​The guide talked a lot about the big tower but the clouds were low, and I only can say that... I believe him.​

​CN Tower 

Imagem

​

The tower is the highest building in Toronto, and it has all the common attractions in this kind of structures - high speed elevators, rotating restaurant, sightseeing points but also a wine cellar, 3D movies and more. 

Sorry we had no time to go up!

Address: 301 Front St. W.

Directions: In the heart of Downtown Toronto, right in between the Sky Dome and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Front Street, just north of Bremner Blvd.

​​Ontario Legislative Building

Imagem

​

Built in 1893, this was the fifth location to provincial parliament.

​A fire in 1909 destroyed the west wing, that was reconstructed with Italian marble, while the east wing still shows the original wooden details. 

Today, it is the governor's residence.

​Old City Hall 

Imagem

Built by the end of the 19Th century, and used only for seven decades, this building was supposed to be demolished and replaced by skyscrapers.

​A strong opposition forced to keep it, and it is now used by the municipal court

​New City Hall 

Imagem


​

A new building with Finnish architecture was built in 1965 to house city hall. Despite its size and modernity, the complex has a superb harmony and good taste.

​

​1000 Islands 

Imagem
The 1000 Islands are generally referred as an US attraction, and I believe they should be. But the fact is that they follow the border between USA and Canada, in St. Lawrence river, occupying both sides of the border. 

I didn't have time to visit them, and only saw some of them from distance, in our way from Toronto to Montreal. 

It seems (surfing VT tips about it) that the most interesting points are in US side. But... this is what I saw! And where I saw it. Maybe it will be fun, riding a boat around them.
