Toronto, which is also known as Hollywood North - likes to stand in for its more famous U.S. neighbor New York, but Canada's largest metropolis is a star all its own, which is often overlooked and under-hyped.
Toronto is North America's fifth biggest city and Canada's financial and artistic powerhouse.
Its thriving and livable downtown is an eclectic mix of skyscrapers, historic buildings, charming parks and some avant-garde architecture that is either loved or loathed. A relatively young city, Toronto makes up for its lack of beauty by being one of the world's most diverse, with over 140 languages and dialects, and culture and restaurants to match. Reuters correspondents with local knowledge offer a sample for a whirlwind winter stay.
