When to go to Toronto?

The CN Tower gives the city its needle and its glass floor, and the ferry across to the islands gives the best view back at it. The Distillery District turns Victorian brick and cobbles over to galleries, cafés and workshops, while the Royal Ontario Museum ranges from dinosaurs to Chinese sculpture. Niagara Falls makes an easy day out.
