Toronto, Ontario

Situated 566 feet above sea level on the northern shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto is one of the southernmost cities in Canada, with nearly the same latitude as northern California. Toronto is Canada's largest city with one-quarter of the country's population within a 100 mile (160 kilometer) radius. Toronto is the fifth largest city in North America after Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. More than 60% of the population of the U.S. is a mere 90-minute flight away. If you haven't already been to Toronto, it's a great weekend getaway. If you have, why not go back again and see what's changed.
