Toronto: Urban, exciting and exhilarating - Toronto is a city of unique style and energy. Whether it's a romantic couple's rendezvous or a girlfriend's getaway Toronto is bursting with exclusive entertainment, fine dining, savvy shopping and sports action bound to leave your dance card full.

Surround yourself in some of Toronto's finest hotels starting from $99* a night for a 2-night weekend stay. From traditional classic to chic, delight in the sumptuous guestrooms, exquisite dining, modern bars and world-class personal service.

There's an exciting creative energy surging through the city on the heels of a completed cultural renaissance. More than 100 cultures intersect, resulting in unique expressions in theatre, music, performance and everything in-between. From the Broadway-style theatre such as Jersey Boys and the Sound of Music to comedic relief at the Second City's 0% Down, 100% Screwed - Toronto's nightlife will not disappoint.

In Toronto over 125 galleries and museums inspire. Art lovers behold the beauty of the Art Gallery of Ontario's $276 million expansion and redesign by Toronto-native architect Frank Gehry. The Canadian collection alone reflects 11,000 years of visual expression in Canada and the AGO shop provides the most unique merchandise.

No matter what time of year you visit, there's always something to capture your interests and imagination in Toronto. Choose from an entertainment scene that embraces English brew pubs and upscale cocktail lounges alike - nightclubs glow as the lights go down, and the pulse of the city is the baseline of the continent's most daring DJs.

Toronto's live music scene is legendary: rock, underground hip-hop, cool jazz and hot blues, folk, alt country and top 40 all have quintessential homes across the city. Or if your evening plans require something quieter, more classic, and artistically refined, an exploration of contemporary photography at Gallery 44, video diary at Harbourfront's Power Plant, independent film, theatre, or a comedy club may be exactly what you're after. In every case, each event is a segue into the next, for as the locals will tell you, Toronto only turns the lights out when the sun comes up.

If shopping is a passion, indulge, as Toronto ranks among the world's best shopping destinations with trendy shopping districts and designer boutiques, department stores, a 16-mile underground concourse (PATH), outlet malls, open-air markets, one-of-a-kind shops and more. You won't return home empty-handed.

Offering something for everyone Toronto will have you wishing you had more time to do it all, a weekend getaway won't be your last.
