Essentials: Toronto

1) Almost a third of all Toronto residents speak, besides English and French, another language. In Little Italy, Little Portugal, and Chinatown, there are even bilingual street signs.

2) Toronto is rightfully considered one of the most multicultural cities in the world – over 160 different languages are spoken here, and over 50% of all residents were born outside of Canada.

3) In Toronto, the sun shines on 301 days, proven!

4) The Union Station in Toronto is more than just a main train station. Here you can shop, eat, and sometimes even attend concerts and exhibitions. It's no wonder that Union Station attracts over 300,000 visitors daily.

5) 41! That's how many open-air ice rinks there were to visit in Toronto last winter.
