   CN Tower

   A concrete communications tower of 553 metres, completed in 1976 and the tallest freestanding structure in the world for thirty-two years. The glass floor is at 342 metres; the EdgeWalk lets people hang off the outside of the pod on a harness.

   Royal Ontario Museum

   The largest museum in Canada, founded in 1912, holding world culture and natural history together — Chinese temple art, dinosaurs, and a bat cave. Daniel Libeskind's crystal of angled aluminium and glass was driven through its front in 2007 and remains contentious.

   Art Gallery of Ontario

   An art museum with one of the largest collections in North America, including the Thomson gift of Canadian art and a great many Henry Moores, given after Toronto embraced his work when London would not. Frank Gehry, who grew up on the next street, rebuilt it in 2008.

   Yonge Dundas Square

   A public square opened in 2002 at Yonge and Dundas, deliberately modelled on Times Square and covered in screens. It was renamed Sankofa Square after the city concluded that Henry Dundas had delayed the abolition of the slave trade.

   Casa Loma

   A Gothic Revival mansion of 1914 built for a financier who lost his fortune within a decade and had to leave it. Ninety-eight rooms, a stable reached by a tunnel, and secret passages; the city took it for unpaid taxes and it is now a museum and a much-used film set.

   York

   A former city northwest of the old core, amalgamated in 1998. It is where much of Toronto's Caribbean and Italian population settled, and the Caribbean carnival that fills the lakeshore each August grew out of these streets.

   Canada's Walk of Fame

   A run of granite stars set in the pavement along King Street for Canadians in entertainment, sport and science. The inductions are held annually; the walk itself is easy to walk past without noticing, which is a common Canadian criticism of it.

   The Aga Khan Museum

   A museum of Islamic art at North York in Toronto. It holds more than 1,200 rare objects collected by Shah Karim al-Husayni and Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, in a building by Fumihiko Maki.

    East York

    A former borough east of the Don valley, amalgamated into Toronto in 1998. It was working-class and low-rise, and its ravines — the Don and Taylor-Massey — are the reason Toronto is threaded with more wooded valley than any other North American city of its size.

   Old Toronto

   The part of Toronto within the pre-1998 city limits — the downtown core and the old streetcar suburbs around it. Six municipalities were merged in that year over the objection of every one of them, and the distinction still governs how the place talks about itself.

   Distillery District

   Forty-odd Victorian industrial buildings of the Gooderham and Worts distillery, which was the largest in the world in the 1860s. It closed in 1990 and reopened in 2003 as a pedestrian district of galleries and cafés; it is the best-preserved group of its kind in North America.

   Queen's Park, Toronto

   A park opened in 1860 by the Prince of Wales and named for Queen Victoria, on land leased from the university for nine hundred and ninety-nine years. The Ontario legislature stands in the middle of it, in pink sandstone, and the oaks around it are older than the province.

   The Annex

   A neighbourhood of large Victorian and Edwardian houses west of the university, so called because it was annexed to the city in 1887. Its residents killed the Spadina Expressway in 1971, a fight that changed how Canadian cities treated their downtowns.
