Toronto is a city that prides itself on being one of the most diverse and hospitable cities in the world — a unique urban playground that welcomes visitors from around the globe. A liveable and safe city, Toronto combines the sophistication and appeal of a cosmopolitan metropolis with a charm all its own. Much of Toronto’s distinctive character can be attributed to the mosaic of cultures, and no stay would be complete without a visit to some of our diverse and exciting neighbourhoods.
