Toronto SEO Contest
The Toronto are one of my favorite places in Toronto. It is a small group of islands located in Lake Ontario, a short distance from Downtown, and connected to each other by several bridges. Here is getting place SEO CONTEST UWELCOME2019.
They are an oasis of tranquillity in the face of the city’s turmoil, as virtually all of them are a park – with the exception of some leisure areas, a few houses and a small regional airport at one end. It offers the possibility of enjoying long walks along its trails, good possibilities for an afternoon picnic or even take a swim in one of its beaches. In addition, the closest beach area to the city offers some of the best views of Toronto’s urban landscape.
There are three ferry routes from the pier at the end of Yonge Street. Each leads to a different part of the islands, although the route to Centre Island is the most popular.
The round-trip ticket costs (in) $10 and service is quite frequent in the summer months and somewhat more isolated during the rest of the year. Highly recommended.
The City of Toronto
I’m not going to be the one to call Toronto an exciting city from the tourist’s point of view. However, it is a multicultural metropolis, full of life and close to a place as mythical as Niagara Falls – about an hour and a half by bus.
However, Toronto compensates for the scarcity of historic buildings or natural landscapes with a stunning multicultural landscape and lively urban life that will be the most interesting part of the city visit.
A multicultural city
Toronto is the multicultural city par excellence. The urban legend – statistics that everyone cites, but no one is able to mention their origin – indicates that more than half of its residents were not born in Canada and much of the city is made up of a conglomerate of residential neighborhoods in which different communities have been established, with their corresponding businesses, restaurants and ways of life. In a few kilometers walk we can go from the Greek neighborhood to the Portuguese, through Chinatown, Little Italy or the Korean neighborhood. Toronto is a small world in itself that offers us a wealth of culture, language and gastronomy in a single city.
Canada’s most important city
Downtown Toronto is also Canada’s most important city – both in terms of population and its role as an economic and financial centre and communications hub – although the country’s capital is neighbouring Ottawa. However, it is the capital and reference city of the Ontario region. The city is home to about three million people, more than six million if the entire metropolitan area is taken into account.
It is located on the shores of Lake Ontario, which gives the impression of a city overturned to water, even being hundreds of kilometers from the sea. Its climate is harsh, but bearable: with cold winters and surprisingly hot and humid summers. Among its main advantages are its cosmopolitan character, its lively urban and cultural life and its job opportunities, while the high cost of living and huge distances are usually two of its main cons.
The city of Toronto responds quite well to the prototype of a North American city: a commercial and business centre -Downtown- of limited extension, filled with skyscrapers and large buildings of modern aesthetics and glazed facades and, around it, kilometres and kilometres of residential areas, small quiet neighbourhoods with some main avenues around which small streets of low houses are grouped -many of them single-family dwellings with their porch and garden- and a very quiet life.
Downtown Toronto The Downtown also has its small divisions and has the Yonge Street as the main artery that runs through it from north to south. In its southern part we find the Union Station and the railroad tracks that set the boundary between the center and the Waterfront area, on the shores of the lake. The business area of the city – the Financial District – is located just north of the station and has as great exponents the skyscrapers of the big banks in streets such as Bay, York, King, Queen or Yonge.
Yonge Street had for a long time the record of being the longest street in the world with more than a thousand kilometers in length, but there was no “trap” to include within this figure its extension to the north and the subsequent route of this road through the region of Ontario. It is enough for us to recognize it as the most famous street in Toronto. Yonge crosses the city from south to north and is the landmark of Downtown. It also marks the line that divides the separation between east and west in the name of the huge perpendicular streets.
In its southern part, it runs through the business area in order to become the main commercial axis of the city without interruption, to house the gigantic Eaton Centre shopping centre and to open up to the city in Dundas Square, one of the images par excellence of Toronto. It extends its route north through the gay quarter and marks the end of Downtown at its intersection with Bloor Street, in the elitist Annex area.
Multiple leisure alternatives
Downtown is also one of Toronto’s major nightlife references. West of University Avenue, where most of the administrative buildings of the city and the region of Ontario are concentrated, we find the Entertainment District – the area par excellence of theatres, concert halls and restaurants in the centre – and the main nightclubs of the city on King Street, the most elegant, and on Queen Street, where the most alternative venues and many traditional pubs share space.
This is also where the city’s two main sports venues are located: the Air Canada Centre, home to the teams of the city’s leading sports clubs.
