Touring Multicultural Toronto
♫ Tuesday, December 7th, 2010Located a few hours north of the United States, Toronto is Canada’s largest city and its economic capital. Toronto is considered to be one of the most multicultural cities in the world. A great way to get to grips with this is to tour its various towns. Start with the sprawling China Town, move on to Korea Town and then progress through Little Italy, Little Portugal, Little India, Greek town before wrapping it up with a visit to the second, and slightly smaller China Town. As you can gather, there is a dizzying variety of local neighbour hoods all of which have their own unique charm.
When touring Toronto’s different areas, it would be a shame to miss out on some culinary treats. The food from the eclectic local restaurants will make it seem like you’ve travelled thousands of miles in the space of just a few blocks. Some good local restaurants to sample include New Sky in China Town, Ka-Chi in Korea Town and Lahore Tikka House in Little India. To get a full picture of Toronto’s multicultural identity check out some of the local festivals, which are often infused with elements from different cultures. There is always something going on in the city so keep an eye on local listings to find something that interests you. So if you venture to the Great White North be sure to not miss out on Toronto. Holidays to this city are a cultural treat as you’ll be able to witness one of the most diverse places in the world. This modern city is home to so many different cultures, cuisines and festivals.
