This vast neo-Gothic castle is one of Toronto’s most popular historic attractions. Inside, visitors tour early-20th-century interiors and stroll manicured gardens. Cafés and restaurants nearby make an easy post-tour stop.

Casa Loma fits naturally into the architecture lovers’ itinerary. For another North American photo day, try Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

The half-house at 54½ St. Patrick Street was built between 1890 and 1893. Mid-20th-century developers literally cut the building in two after the owners refused to sell their share. Today the private home looks like an architectural anomaly beside modern neighbours.

View it from the street and pair it with Cube House on a walking day. Multi-city Canada–U.S. trips are easier with our multi-city vacation guide.

Toronto’s cube houses are an unusual residential project against typical Canadian streetscapes. Their complex geometry and unconventional living spaces draw tourists for photos and design curiosity.
