Toronto

Toronto is an amazing place to visit. There is so much to see. To get your self started, I would recommend taking the open top bus tours. With the tours, you can also take a boat ride through all of the islands. This is an excellent opportunity to get some of the typical postcard shots of the skyline. The buses also gave you an idea of where everything is and gives you your bearings.

Yonge Street which is pronounced Young Street is pretty cool. It has lots of shops and bars and the like and runs all the way up through the different districts. You could spend a full day just on Yonge Street. There is also Dundas Square that has a stage permanently up and always seems to have something or other going on.

There are some excellent photo opportunities on both the bus and just walking around. Lots of bright and shiny things and lots of street performers. The best time to go is a nice sunny day. It may be advisable not to go in the middle of summer though, as it can get pretty scorching.

    as a Toronto resident I say that you covered a very small part of Toronto, but covered it well =)
    in picture #3 you can almost see the place i bought my fake I.D.

    next time you visit make sure to travel along Queen St. West or Kensington - there are many great shots there. As well as China Town, Little Italy, The Danforth, India Town... the list goes on.

    Toronto is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. That's why there are so many great shots in it! I still need to cover it's streets fully with my cameras...
