Downtown & Harbourfront
Begin your Toronto adventure in the heart of downtown at the iconic CN Tower, where you can ride the glass-fronted elevator up to the observation deck for sweeping views over Lake Ontario and the city skyline. If you’re feeling bold, try the EdgeWalk for a hands-free walk around the tower’s outer ledge.

Day 5
Toronto
Today you can escape the city bustle with a short ferry ride to the peaceful Toronto Islands. Spend the morning cycling along quiet paths, relaxing at Centre Island Beach, or enjoying one of the best skyline photo views of downtown Toronto from across the water. The islands offer a refreshing mix of beaches, picnic areas, and serene lagoons. If you prefer staying on the mainland, visit High Park instead, where you can stroll wooded trails, admire Grenadier Pond, or (in spring) see the famous cherry blossoms in bloom. Return to the city late afternoon for your flight home to the UK.
Alternatively extend your holiday and add in a day trip to the stunning Niagara Falls.
