Seasonal displays like the Victorian Christmas Show draw people from all over the city, but at any time of the year, Allan Gardens is worth a visit.

Bloor West Village
A piece of real estate that lies between Bloor and Annette and Jane and Runnymede, this West End Toronto district is a popular neighbourhood for families. With many exceptional schools and within walking distance to Toronto's best-known playground, Brigantine Room
Attached to the Cabbagetown
One of the oldest sections of Toronto, this historic area has grown from a World War I lower class housing project to the largest enclave of Victorian homes in North America. With the advent of the railway business in Canada, a rail complex at the end of the Don River attracted Irish immigrants fleeing the Great War for the relative safety of Toronto. Much as today, the community was a strong-knit group; the only difference is that today's residents no longer grow cabbages on their front patches of dirt. Today its streets straddle a line between hip and gentrification.

Church Street
Perhaps the most notable feature of this street is the number of gays and lesbians who feel comfortable making it their home away from home. From "the Steps" of Second Cup, where you can find people sitting during the summer, to such gay-friendly establishments as This Ain't the Rosedale Library, and Woody's, the street is a magnet for TO's gay community.

At 553.3 metres, this is officially the world's tallest building. Since its spectacular opening in 1976, the tower has hosted close to two million visitors a year. One of the most exciting ways to see the world is from the exterior, glass-floored observation deck, located 342 metres above ground. Or you can go up to the Space Deck at 447 metres, the world's tallest observation deck with a 160-kilometre view. The revolving College Street
Running from the West End to the Downtown core, this major street is a focal point of many places of business and entertainment within the city.
