Think big and you won't be disappointed in Canada's largest city where skyscrapers, stadiums and Great Lakes will wow you on short breaks to Toronto.

The CN Tower's 533m pointy mast marks the heart of Toronto and dwarfs the buzzing Rogers Centre baseball and football stadium below. Financial District blends into Fashion District on Queen Street West, where students and media luvvies meet at fusion restaurants.

Best of Toronto city breaks for...

• Romance: See Toronto sparkle from your window seat in the 360 Restaurant near the top of the CN Tower. It takes an hour to revolve and sweep you off your feet with views of Lake Ontario.
• Families: Pack your comfortable shoes for mini safaris at Toronto Zoo. Grizzly bears and bison give you a taste of Rockies' wildlife.
• Shopping: A shoppers' paradise lurks below the surface of Toronto. Follow the 28km maze of underground tunnels for a spree at fancy boutiques.
