Sometimes referred to as the "New York of Canada", the city of Toronto is considered by many to be the financial, cultural and entertainment capital of Canada. With a population of more than 2.7 million people, Toronto is the largest city in Canada and the 5th most populous municipality in North America.

If you are visiting this fantastic city, rent a Toronto car from CRX and go to the Casa Loma, a beautiful castle built in the early 1900's with stunning gardens, enormous stables and secret passages. Visit Rosedale, Yorkville, Cabbagetown, Little Italy, Portugal Village and both of Toronto's 2 Chinatowns. Each of these urban gems has its own unique culture, restaurants and shops.

Hockey fans should not miss the great opportunity of seeing the Toronto Maple Leafs play on home turf. Rent a sports car in Toronto from CRX to get into the spirit and catch a game. Visit the Hockey Hall of Fame, which has been located in Toronto since 1958.

Getting Around and Driving in Toronto

Toronto is an easy city to figure out how to get around. It is a grid of major city streets. Each major road is roughly 2 km apart from each parallel route. There are many provincial highways and municipal expressways that serve Toronto. Highway 401, for example bisects the city from west to east. This is actually one of the busiest road in all of North America.
