I got to there for work several years ago, there was no games while I was there but I did stay at the hotel inside the ballpark. It was awesome. Also met and chatted with Keiffer Sutherland at a British pub there one evening. He was a really nice chap.
Toronto (in the summer) is great! I loved going to skydome. Toronto Islands are awesome. The NHL hall of fame is awesome and you get your picture with the cup. Restaurants and bars in the Distillery District were all a lot of fun.
Toronto is indeed a superior city. It is in the running for my favorite in North America. OotSTANding!
If I’d be willing to move to a place that is cold, that would be it.
Dan Patrick might make that an easier decision.
I liked Vancouver a bit more.
Beat me to it, Navin.
Vancouver >>>>>>>> Toronto.

I really like Old Quebec City too but for totally different reasons than Toronto or Vancouver.
Since I can’t travel right now, been watching travel vids on YouTube. Watched one on QC this week, it’s on my list to visit now. In Europe I’ll likely go back to Italy next, but I really wanna go to Lisbon as well.
I haven’t been to Vancouver but I preferred Calgary to Toronto.
That’s high on my list of places I want to go that I’ve never been.
I haven’t been to Vancouver but i have friends in Toronto, so it’d be really hard to pass that up.
Love Quebec City. Love Victoria too.
Calgary is on my list, haven’t made it there yet.
I really can’t recommend Vancouver enough. We rented bikes and just rode them around the whole time we were there, and it was great.
Great food, great beer, beautiful scenery, and great people.

It’s unsurprising that a consensus would prefer Vancouver to Toronto. Vancouver is physically gorgeous and Toronto just isn’t, certainly not in terms of natural scenery. But Vancouver seems to me like a small town, very provincial, and as far as cities go, that’s a negative for me. Toronto is on the opposite end of that spectrum.
I (greatly) prefer Melbourne to Sydney for somewhat similar reasons. Not that Sydney is or feels like a small town, but it’s gorgeous, too, and Melbourne isn’t, but I still like Melbourne much better. I just like the way those two cities function, Toronto and Melbourne. Streetcars are most likely central to that.
Every time I’ve been to Toronto the only reason I know I’m in Canada is because of the accents.
Maybe I just haven’t been to the right places, but Toronto has always felt like Random Big North American City #6 to me.
Yes! If you go to Vancouver, you must take the ferry over to see Butchart Gardens and the rest of Victoria. If you stay overnight in one of the fantastic B&B’s along the Selkirk, you can canoe down to the Inner Harbour for dinner. A glorious place.
I guess to me it feels a lot like some other big cities that I really like. Also, I think that some of my affection has to do with the fact that I’ve had some remarkable experiences there.
But I do feel like it has its own vibe, though, definitively.
For those interested in Vancouver, when I went we tied into an Astros game in Seattle. Flew into Seattle, United almost always has inexpensive tickets available. Spent a night there caught the game, then rented a car and drove to Vancouver. Super easy drive, great scenery too. Flew home from Vancouver. I believe you can also take a train up there, which would be cool.

We stayed at The Empress in Victoria. I love old, elegant hotels.
