The city known as "Toronto the Good" has recently gotten great. An influx of diverse ethnic groups spurred its rebirth as a cosmopolitan city with an explosion in entertainment. The arts got a jump-start and have continued to flourish. Modern development has futuristic buildings like the CN tower (the largest free-standing one in the world) neighboring Old World Edwardian architecture. There are many museums and galleries, colorful ethnic neighborhoods, and a spirited nightlife.

A walk through town is like a journey around the world, from upscale Anglo Booth Street to the market-lined streets of Chinatown. The Harbourfront Center has revived the waterfront with a lakeside promenade lined with chic cafés and boutiques providing a delightful summer treat. Winter activity is down below in Underground City, an entire shopping and restaurant center beneath Toronto's financial district. Visit and you might find yourself suggesting to City Hall that they call it "Toronto the Fantastic!"
