Located on Lake Ontario, the massive metropolis is home to millions of people, and is the largest city in Canada and fourth largest in North America. Briefly, from 1793 to 1834, Toronto was simply known as "York." It was changed under Upper Canada's British first lieutenant governor, John Graves Simcoe. Later, York residents pushed the name change back to Toronto, leaving it with the name it still has today.

Attractions on Toronto cruises

Toronto has a number of incredible attractions. Regardless of what area of town you end up in, there's sure to be something neat.

St. Lawrence Market

One of Toronto's most popular locations is the St. Lawrence Market -- a big marketplace made up of hundreds of vendors that takes up three whole buildings. The St. Lawrence Market has been around for over 200 years, and features anything from delicious local food to patchwork quilts. Each building hosts a different specialty of the market too, ensuring each part of the market is unique.

CN Tower

Another popular attraction is Toronto's CN Tower. The massive tower is a fixture on the city's skyline, arguably one of it's most recognizable features. While great to see on its own, CN Tower also features a revolving restaurant at its top -- 350 meters off the ground! This restaurant is often difficult to get into, but offers incredible views and food if you can get in.

Distillery District

Lastly, Toronto's Distillery District is one it's coolest features. The district is located in the city's old town, making new use of the old distilling buildings that used to produce whiskies. Those same old buildings now host a wide variety of things to do, including restaurants, bars, stores, art galleries, and more.
