Toronto is the one of the largest Canadian cities and the main cultural and trade centre of the country. This is the capital of Ontario province. Every year millions of tourists visit it with different reasons. Toronto is full of sights indeed. There are architectural, natural, cultural, historic and other types of sights.

The city is a huge megalopolis with lots of skyscrapers and office buildings. At the same time Toronto is a quite green city, full of trees, bushes and flowers. The main sights of the city are the entertainment complex at the Ontario square, Hyde Park and Queen Elizabeth’s Park, Islands Park on Lake Ontario, the golden tower of the Royal Bank Plaza, Roy Thomson Concert Hall, the 553-metre “CN Tower,” a symbol of the city, the famous shopping mall of Eaton Centre and many others.

When I first arrived in Toronto my impressions were unforgettable. Toronto is a city of contrasts. This is absolutely different from many European cities. Downtown is a cluster of modern skyscrapers. I am fascinated by how these glass giants shimmer in different colours in the sun. This is the financial centre of the city, noisy, lively, and always full of people. There are a lot of areas built up with private houses and townhouses. It is less fussy and quieter here.

This is a city where people of different nationalities live. On the same street you can visit an American McDonald's or a Chinese restaurant. Here you can see and taste national cuisine from all over the world. Exactly the contrasts of the city amaze and attract me.
