Okay, so, summer is here – August .. But you may want to think about heading out at short notice! .. Just because summer is here, and prices have shot up because of the school holidays, there’s always chances to find cheap hotels in Toronto! You may be reading this because you’ve hit it lucky and been able to get time off work, and really there are few places better than Toronto to take short or even full length holidays at. There’s lots of places you may want to look for prices, but we’ll stick to our recommended company Ebookers, since they guarantee you the best prices you’ll be able to find – and from my experience it is very difficult to beat the prices they display.

Toronto sky scrapers

Okay, I’m going to do all the work for you – aren’t i nice! Lets take the last Saturday in august – give us a month’s grace for you to book your flights (With Canadian Affair of course to get the cheapest flights) and car hire and all the other bits and bobs! Saturday 29th August – it even falls so you have a bank holiday Monday, so if you’re taking time off work – you only have to use 9 days rather than 10 (see! I’m always thinking of you!)

So how much do you think 14 nights for two in Toronto would cost? Well using ebookers hotels i managed to find a hotel for:

£416.56 though Ebookers do state this does not include local rates and taxes that may be charged – this is at the Motel 6 Toronto Brampton.

If you like cities – you will Love Toronto. This is a Canadian – film style city – one of those cities you see in films and wonder what it would be like to be standing, in the middle of the sky scrapers looking up at the gleaming glass sides that literally seem to reach right up into the sky giving you a perfect demonstration of what artists call ‘perspective’

Low Cloud hangs ominously over Toronto

Well, this is your chance! – Toronto as I’m sure you have seen from the masses of photos that are posted all around the internet has a very unique skyline – centrepeiced by the CN tower, but although made to look shorter – the other shining towers of commerce look no less impressive.

Toronto motorsports park got it’s start as a RCAF airfeild in World War 2, purchased in 1955 and converted into the Kohler Dragstrip. This pride of racing in Ontario has been home to dragracing for over 50 years and still doesn’t cease to amaze the crouds. Contrary its name however, this drag strip is a fair distance South of Toronto – it’s actually in the Cayuga area so make sure you check the map below! This place is quicker to get to from Hamilton, St. Catherines or Niagara if you’re planning on visiting.

If you’re flying into Toronto Pearson International Airport, you may be lucky enough to be greeted to Canada with a beautiful cityscape of Toronto, set on the background of Lake Ontario – The city skyline of Toronto, no matter where you go in the world will always have a needle looking building to its centre – this is the truely world famous CN Tower Toronto.

Even before i knew where it was, or what it was called, i recognised its shape as a child – and if you’re in Toronto, this is your chance to get to visit one of the modern era’s man made wonders of the world, and the tallest free standing structure in the world from 1975 to 2007.

The CN Tower

To get into the CN tower there is an admission price, and there are varying levels of admission. The basic admission will allow you up to the observation deck, as well as the lower ‘open air’ viewing area. A further pass will allow you to go to the highest part of the tower, and if you look at the pictures of the tower, it is almost a good third higher up than the first. If you’re planning your day out – it is good to know also that up the CN tower there is a cafe/resteraunt on the main viewing area of the tower in wich you can eat while you’re enjoying the breath taking views of the city and surrounding area.

There are only a few of the top zoos in the world, but Toronto Zoo is certainly among them. This enormous zoo is situated in the Scarborough region – not to be confused with the coastal town of Scarborough in the UK!
Toronto zoo is one of the must see locations on your trip if you’re in the Toronto region – though remember to give yourself a whole day to look around this amazing place – When i visited in May, it was a beautiful sunny day, we got there in the morning and still didn’t quite get to see everything in the zoo.

Toronto zoo is laid out in different regions of the world; Indo-Malaya, Africa, the Americas, Australasia, Eurasia and the Canadian Domain, as if when you’re walking around the zoo, it is as if you are getting to walk around the world. There are, as you can see in the photo above some masterfully created inside enclosures, with free flying tropical birds, plants, waterfalls and wildlife roaming them – though not to be thought as any less significant are the immense areas set outside, for the big cats, giraffes, zebras, moose and all the other animals the zoo offers.
