Landmarks9
- 1BMO FieldThe 2007 soccer-specific stadium that grew into Toronto's outdoor dual-sport arena — and now holds 45,736 for the 2026 FIFA World Cup under the temporary name Toronto Stadium.
- 2Scotiabank ArenaA 1941 postal sorting depot on Bay Street that became Canada's busiest arena — and the most photographed spot in the country on Instagram.
- 3Rogers CentreThe world's first fully retractable motorized roof opened here in 1989 — and 70 hotel rooms still peer straight down onto the field.
- 4First Canadian PlaceFor 50 years it was Canada's tallest building — until a fellow Toronto skyscraper finally beat it in June 2025.
- 5Yonge StreetEvery Toronto address east or west is measured from this single line — the city's original spine, planned in the 1790s and still running the show.
- 6Sankofa SquareToronto's neon crossroads where 100,000 people a day share Canada's first pedestrian scramble.
- 7Toronto City HallThe building that forced Ontario to open its architecture competitions to the world.
- 8Scotia PlazaCanada's third-tallest tower grew straight out of a 1940s Beaux-Arts bank — and you can walk under the whole stack without ever touching the street.
- 9Toronto Eaton CentreNorth America's busiest mall is also quietly built over a buried creek — so the floor rises as you walk from Queen Street to Dundas.
Historic Sites3
- 10Casa LomaA financier spent the equivalent of $100 million on a Gothic Revival castle in Toronto — and never finished it.
- 11Maple Leaf GardensThe rink where Canada beat the Soviets, Elvis played one of his only non-US shows, and 11 Stanley Cups were won — now has a Loblaws in the basement.
- 12Fairmont Royal YorkFor a brief period after opening in 1929, this was the tallest building in the British Empire.
Viewpoints1
- 13CN TowerFor 32 years, a railway company's broadcast antenna was the tallest free-standing structure on Earth.
Museums & Galleries4
- 14Royal Ontario MuseumCanada's largest museum packs 18 million objects — Cambrian sea creatures, East Asian art, and Art Deco clothing and design objects — into 40 galleries on Bloor Street.
- 15Art Gallery of OntarioFrank Gehry expanded the museum between 2004 and 2008; more than 120,000 works across six collecting areas fill the 45,000-square-metre result.
- 16Aga Khan MuseumLondon protesters blocked the original site, so the Aga Khan chose Canada — as a tribute to pluralism — and Toronto got the museum.
- 17Bata Shoe Museum13,000 shoes spanning 4,500 years — the world's largest footwear collection, grown from one woman's personal obsession.
Parks & Gardens1
- 18High ParkOne man left 161 hectares to Toronto in 1876, and the ravines above hide a buried pre-ice-age river traced by geologists to this spot only in 2003.
Public Art1
- 19Canada's Walk of FameTwo hundred and four maple-leaf stars pressed into the pavement — athletes, cartoonists, scientists, comedians — all underfoot along King Street's theatre row.
