{"id":3608,"count":4,"description":"Toronto, the economic capital of Canada and capital of the province of Ontario, contains hidden places and treasures that only a local can help you discover\u2026 or me!\r\n\r\nWith more than 2.8 million inhabitants, it is one of the most visited cities in Canada and which attracts more and more French people to settle there.\r\n\r\nI had the chance to discover Toronto several times, going there by car from Montreal<\/a> and sometimes by plane.\r\n\r\nFrom Montreal, it takes 7 hours to reach the city of Toronto. This city often reminded me of Los Angeles<\/a>, not by its climate, but not by its very extensive construction.\r\n\r\nThe first time I went to Toronto, I must admit that I didn't like the city. We didn't know where to go, where to start!\r\n\r\nOver time, I discovered magical places, even if it sometimes took up to an hour to get there.\r\n\r\nToronto often fades behind its very popular rival Montreal. However, Canada's economic capital also has a lot to offer. No wonder many French people decide to take up residence there. I'll take you there.\r\n\r\nThe New York<\/a> of Canada\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s not just the dizzying aspect of its architecture that makes Toronto Canada\u2019s New York. Like the Big Apple<\/a>, the megalopolis has incredible ethnic diversity, resulting in a patchwork of neighborhoods with strong characters.\r\n\r\nChinatown, Greektown, Little India, Little Italy, you name it, here you go. Gourmets will find complete satisfaction there.\r\n\r\nToronto, no stress and the beach in the city\r\n\r\nOne surprising thing about Toronto is the relative serenity that reigns there. For a city of this importance, one might expect more hustle and bustle.\r\n\r\nIs it the calming proximity of majestic Lake Ontario? The fact that you can walk along its banks and even take a dip in it in summer? Yes, there are beaches in Toronto\u2026 I\u2019ll let you speculate. And, since we're there, you should also know that Niagara Falls is not very far, about an hour's drive.\r\n\r\nBars, restaurants and culture, not always around the corner\r\n\r\nMany other treasures are to be found in Toronto: breathtaking views, pedestrian areas, parks... And I'm not talking about the atmosphere, it's an open, cultural and plural city. Only, it spreads and spreads. Unless you have a good guide, you have to earn it a little.\r\n\r\nBesides, I must admit that on my first visit, I was only moderately excited by the city. But over time and visits, Toronto revealed itself to me. I discovered its discreet magic and succumbed to its true charms. Follow me, I'll reveal them to you in quick succession.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s discover the city of Toronto together!","link":"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/travel\/toronto\/","name":"Toronto","slug":"toronto","taxonomy":"category","parent":2957,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nToronto Travel Tips : Bars, hotels and trendy places<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The economic capital of Canada, it hides places that only a local can show you... or me!
