With more than double Vancouver's population, the 'GTA' (greater Toronto area) is the financial and cultural heart of modern Canada. Weather is ridiculously cold in winter and stinking hot in summer, pick your dates wisely! A great time to visit is over the Canadian Music Week in May or for indie vibes at NXNE in August.
Bring your best wardrobe as BC's 'athleisure' is frowned upon in this urban chic city. Make sure you've allowed enough time in your travel itinerary for strolling West Queen West, the Distillery Historic District and Kensington Market. The Gallery of Ontario has fantastic tours for those interested in Canadian and international art. Plan some recovery brunches as this city knows how to party.
