Background
The largest city in Canada and provincial capital city of Ontario, Toronto is home to massive urban infrastructure, even if the region is smaller than the Chicago region by overall population. Located on the northern side of Lake Ontario, Toronto is organized into numerous urbanized areas with the central locations at Uptown, Midtown, and Downtown, from northwest to southeast, eventually approaching Lake Ontario itself. On the opposite side of Lake Ontario is the Niagara region on both the United States and Canadian sides of the region, with the locations within the United States physically located at the western end of the State of New York.
Attractions
Perhaps the most iconic of attractions located within Toronto is the CN Tower, as the architectural style of the tower is quite distinct both at a national scale and at a global scale. Casa Loma, the Aga Khan Museum, and the Royal Ontario Museum are each associated with major tourist attractions within the city, and the Fort York National Historic Site is also a renowned marker of the modern culture of the city and of the Great Lakes region in general. Though the general region, into the suburban zones nearest Lake Ontario, is highly urbanized and historically so, the modern symptoms of suburbia have largely impacted the portions of the urban and metropolitan area located relatively further inland.
Historic Communities Elsewhere
Within the Greater Toronto area, from Hamilton through Oshawa, additional locations of interest are typically identified as historic sites, such as Parkwood in Oshawa and the steam heritage in Hamilton.
