DOWNTOWN. Built as a TV transmission antenna, this tower has come to be known as Toronto's symbol and is a huge draw for tourists. At 1815 feet, it's the tallest tower in the world. Currently serving 16 Canadian TV and FM radio stations, it's also the workplace of approximately 550 people and a popular entertainment destination. Its range of attractions and exhibits includes a digital animation program (Thrill Zone, which allows visitors a virtual bungee jump), a laser tag game, nightclub, 300-seat cafe, award-winning 360 restaurant (with the world's highest wine cellar!), shops, and a Simulator Theatre, which mimics airflight. All these facilities can be reached via the famous glass-faced elevator, which takes less than a minute to reach the observation deck.

DOWNTOWN. Referred to by many as Queen's Park, this pink granite and sandstone building was built in the late 1800s as a political forum for Ontario. Stroll the marble halls, take guided tours, listen to the Legislative Chamber session, and view the display of Canadian art and historical exhibits. When the House is in session, visitors may view the proceedings ­ free passes are available at the south basement entrance. The exact dates the house is in session vary, but the hours are Mon-Thu 1:30pm-6pm and Thu 10am-noon.

DOWNTOWN. Home of the Toronto Blue Jays, this breathtaking facility features the world's fastest retractable dome. The stadium also hosts the Toronto Argonauts Football Club. An amazing array of other events is scheduled here as well, from charity functions to trade shows to rock concerts. A hotel is located center field, and of their 348 rooms, 70 have direct views of the field. There's also a Hard Rock Cafe. And heads up ladies ­ this stadium has more women's restrooms than any other in North America (not that you won't still find a line, but it should be a little shorter!).

DOWNTOWN. This remarkable cathedral was first built in 1807, although it was later replaced with a larger building in 1832. Fires destroyed two subsequent buildings, prompting the congregation to build the present structure in the popular English Gothic Revival style of the mid-19th century. The present cathedral opened in 1853 and features Canada's tallest steeple, beautiful stained glass windows, and tributes to Toronto's Anglican faithful. The gift shop is generally open during the middle part of the day, every day except Friday.
