Description

The Art Gallery of Ontario [AGO, as it's known] is among North America's top 10 art museums. It has a large collection of major works by Canadian artists, and works by Rembrandt, Hals, Van Dyck, Hogarth, Reynolds, Chardin, Renoir, Degas, Rodin, Matisse, Picasso, de Kooning, Rothko, Oldenburg, and others.

An honest-to-goodness 20th-century castle, Casa Loma has 98 rooms, two towers, creepy passageways, lots of secret panels, and an excellent view of Toronto. Check out the giant pipe-organ, the reproduction of Windsor Castle's Peacock Alley, the 60-foot-high ceiling of the Great Hall, and the mahogany and marble stable. Architecture lovers will be fascinated by the rooms copied from English, Spanish, Scottish, and Austrian castles. Wear sensible shoes.

Diverse and lively, this is the largest Chinatown in eastern Canada. You'll pass shops selling reasonably priced silk blouses, kimonos, and antique porcelain for less than half the price elsewhere. Here, you will also find bakeries, various stores, a fruit market, herbalists, and restaurants. Chinatown covers much of the area of Spadian Avenue from Queen Street to College Street, running along Dundas Street nearly as far East as Bay Street. There are, however, three other areas in metropolitan Toronto with large Chinese populations.
