The University of Toronto is the highest academic institution in Canada. The campus is located in downtown Toronto, a few blocks north of the financial district. The beautiful campus is like an oasis in the concrete forest. If you want to get out of the noisy financial center and the $Dundas Square $crowded with tourists, you can come to the big park in this city just a few steps away. On a sunny day, you can walk in the green space of Kings College Circle, shuttle through the buildings of Trinity College and Hart House, and enjoy various buildings with different styles and the combination of old and new.

CN Tower is the landmark and pride of Toronto. The tower is 553.33 meters high. It was officially put into use in 1976 and ranked first in the world's tallest building in the next 34 years. The tower is slender and rocket shaped, and its unique structure is clearly visible in most parts of downtown Toronto. The CN Tower was originally built for television and radio stations. Although the main watchtower and air deck have been opened to tourists, the CN Tower still serves many television stations and frequency regulation stations in Canada.

The Royal Museum of Ontario is the fifth largest museum in North America. Founded in 1912, it was directly controlled and managed by the University of Toronto until 1968. A few years ago, the architect Daniel Libeskind started to redesign and renovate. The opening of ROM's unique crystal shaped new wing in 2007 made it the focus of the media for a long time. By adding 6 crystal galleries, the museum has expanded its visual area. The current ROM has more than 6 million Canadian and international cultural relics, which are distributed in the gallery space of three floors: world culture, natural history and Hands on. The most popular exhibits include dinosaur bones, minerals and meteorites, biodiversity walls and bat caves. In addition, the museum often has special exhibitions, including Chinese Terra Cotta Warriors, Egyptian mummies and Mayan culture.

Casa Rome Castle witnessed the history of Toronto. The large house covers an area of 5 acres and is located in the northwest of downtown Toronto. The former manor owner of Casa Rome was Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, who was a Toronto financier, industrialist and soldier. This jazz, who has a strong interest in art and architecture, dreamed of owning his own castle after traveling in Europe when he was young. Finally, in 1911, Pellatt spent 3.5 million dollars to hire a famous architect, E.J. Lennox, to help him realize his lifelong dream. More than 300 workers spent nearly three years building this medieval style castle overlooking Toronto. Today, the mansion is owned by Toronto and open to tourists. Because of its unique medieval architectural style, many Hollywood films are filmed here. Many charity activities and upper class parties are held here from time to time.
