    Lep muzej! Uglavnom vec vidjene stvari u Grčkoj, Persiji i Kini. Zanimljiv mi je bio deo sa zivotinjskim svetom Kanade.

    Casa Roman Castle is truly amazing! From the moment you step in, it seems to be back to medieval Europe. The castle is unique in style, with gothic spires and exquisite carvings, showing the luxury and mystery. The interior is even more gorgeous, with elegant study rooms and mysterious towers, each room full of stories. The tower overlooks downtown Toronto with a panoramic view and intoxicating.

    The Art Gallery of Ontario spans five floors, showcasing the European Gallery, the Canadian Gallery, the Modern Gallery, and several special themed exhibitions. Each gallery is spacious and rich in art, offering a comfortable and quiet atmosphere for leisurely viewing. You'll lose track of time and perhaps even find yourself reluctant to leave. There's also a café in the gallery, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee while immersing yourself in the artistic atmosphere. A staircase at the back of the gallery offers views of the city's iconic CN Tower. To the left of the entrance, the gallery's own restaurant (AGO Bistro) and gift shop offer a relaxing break. For art lovers, the Art Gallery of Ontario is a must-see in Toronto.

    Recommended Day to Visit: SATURDAY On weekends there are flea market beside the main building. pretty cool to check it out for handcrafted goods. The market itself has lots of awesome goodies like sweets and snacks to taste from. Very local and very friendly store keepers. DO BRING CASH!! Not all stores accept card payments.

    You'll need to be conscious of how much time you have if you want to get the full enjoyment from this venue. Elevator queues can sometimes be long coming up and going down. This is the only real drag. The views are spectacular from both the elevator and the viewing deck. Worth the money if you have enough time.

    5.1 I went to Niagara Falls that day. I was lucky to catch up with the Maiden Cruise in the fog. I went to experience the feeling of pouring the rain from head to toe under the waterfall for $30. The attraction will send raincoats, remember to bring your shoes or it will be all wet. But it is best to see the waterfalls across Canada by boat. Niagara Falls has several observation decks. If you have a long time, you can go and see it. In addition, there is a wind tunnel scenic spot where you can see the bridal veil waterfall. The American Falls can also be seen on the observation deck without charge, but the best angle is also to enjoy the Maiden Cruise in the fog

    Hours to spend: 3-4 hoursLOVE THEIR UNDERWATER TUNNEL! Recommend to plan this visit after your visit at CN tower or Cruise. Very educational experience that shows you the aquatic life in Canada’s waters. Very children friendly and accessible to those with disabilities. Gift shop have very unique items, NO ENTRANCE FOR PUBLIC. So do check things out before you leave.

    I went to the University Bookstore at the University of Toronto and found a lot of clothing with the university's logo on it for sale. The most amazing thing is that the university has co-branded products with Champion, Nike and Roots, which is really amazing!
