On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 4.Royal Ontario Museum — Canada's largest museum, its striking crystalline glass extension bursting out of a heritage building — vast, world-class galleries of dinosaurs, natural history, world cultures, art and a famous bat cave. Something for everyone and easily half a day; a superb rainy-day option and one of the country's great cultural institutions, right by the leafy Yorkville and Annex streets.
- 10.Casa Loma — A fairy-tale Gothic Revival castle on a hill above the city, built by a rich financier a century ago — turrets, secret passages, grand rooms, stables reached by a tunnel, and terraced gardens with a fine city view. Delightfully over-the-top and a favourite film set; a fun, family-friendly couple of hours exploring the closest thing Toronto has to a European castle, up in the leafy hills.
