Iron Maiden live at The Molson Ampitheatre!
by Dark_Reflections
Well, depending on the person, I would want to take someone to a concert at the Molson Ampitheatre. It is of course a theatre, and everyone likes music. It's size is just perfect, so you for low prices you can get good seats enabling you to enjoy the show to its fullest potential. My best memory of Toronto would have to be seeing Iron Maiden live at the Molson Ampitheatre (they are my favourite band of course). The show was simply astounding. The stage used lighting effects to its fullest potential, and the amps were booming with an incredible sound quality. Fans were awed as the 3 bands playing put on the greatest show I have ever witnessed. Our seats were in the 300's, and we could still see the band better than we could on the jumbo screens. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience.

Pick up a tourist guide in the city and take your pick...
I'd go to the theatre district Harbourfront and Toronto Islands
Picture: downtown office area - mostly banks. Old building is the Royal York Hotel on Front Street, opposite the Union Railway Station.
Newspapers
by MissAntarctica2002
Toronto has several daily newspapers with different editorial orientations. Here's a bit about them to help you know which would suit you.
Toronto Star
Very balanced, targeted at wide audience. Contains a lot of human interest content and events listings. Probably the best choice for a traveller. Can be viewed online at thestar.com
The Globe and Mail
National paper targeted at business people. Slightly right of centre on political spectrum. High-brow Arts and Entertainment section. Online at globeandmail.com
National Post
National paper also with a business focus. Right-wing political spin for the most part.
Toronto Sun
I hate to be a snob, but I find this a pretty low-brow paper prone to knee-jerk types of reactions. Very pro-police. Read for Sports section and SunShine girl on pg 2.
Watch sporting events
by Sharrie
Watch sporting events from SKYDOME or attending a concert there. Will have to check on the schedule the next time I'm in town, perhaps next month? Watch out for the Blue Jays.
Official Site: http://www.skydome.com. If you're a hockey fan, this is the city to be in. The Canadian Maple Leaf is world renowned; sorry but that's all I know about ice hockey :-(((
Keeping to yourself
by fairy_dust
If you're from a rural area, you're probably used to saying hello to strangers and chatting with random people who come your way. Well, in big cities like Toronto, you'll likely get ignored or sometimes even scowled at if you do that. During World Youth Day, it was different - everyone was friendly and even police officers posed for silly pictures with WYD pilgrims, but in general people in the city tend to mind their own business and expect others to do the same. Nothing wrong with that, but I thought this tip might be useful for people who are not used to an urban environment.
