Toronto Essential Travel Guide

★ Explore with a Local ★

Toronto has over 200 theatre venues, 150+ festivals, 85 neighbourhoods, 326 parks, at least 77 art galleries and approximately 18,000 eateries. But you wont find them all in this app. Instead, youll find a thoughtfully chosen selection of attractions, districts, restaurants, cafes, outdoor escapes and off-beat sites, so you can make the most of your time and money in this vibrant, multi-cultural city.

For the price of a cappuccino at Balzacs Coffee, a gorgeous TO coffee shop (just one of the over 65 hand-picked food/drink entries listed inside), youll be able to:

*save money with over 50 free things to do including gems like a University of Toronto historic walking tour, Allen Gardens Conservatory and High Park Zoo.
*impress your friends with obscure facts included in the useless trivia section in various entries. Did you know theres a piece of the Berlin Wall in the freedom arch at Nathan Phillips Square or that Toronto claims the 3rd largest Hellenic community outside of Greece?
*get insider advice, whether its the best place to enjoy dim sum in Chinatown or the best time of day to avoid crowds at the Ontario Science Centre.
*entertain the kids with the complete listing of family-friendly attractions and places.
*enjoy every minute of your vacation in Toronto, instead of wasting precious time wading through websites.

This app includes the major attractions - CN Tower, Art Gallery of Ontario, Royal Ontario Museum, Zoo, Toronto Island - but also gives you a window to other sides of this thriving city. Take a contemporary art tour in the trendy West Queen West neighbourhood. Browse through the eclectic Kensington Market. Indulge in Torontos best poutine. Cheer on a sports team. See a musical. Bird watch along the waterfront. Hang out at the beach. What do you want to do in Toronto?

Find it in this app with:
* more than 200 entries and 1400 photos sorted by cost, neighbourhood and category;
* Maps and GPS tracking;
* information that goes beyond the generic blurbs or unfiltered lists of free apps;
* free updates and offline content you can access anywhere.
