Discovering Canada's Biggest City! (First Impressions of Toronto, Canada) 🇨🇦

Our first time back in Toronto after 5 years abroad!
Whenever we travel, we always say that we are from Toronto.
But we actually live outside of the city, and don't really go to Toronto that often.
So it was interesting to be back to get a first impressions after so many years away.
Toronto has changed! On this video, we highlighted the bad and good of Toronto.
Check out our vlog as we tour downtown Toronto, and visited Toronto's most famous tourist attractions: CN Tower, Rogers Centre (home of the Toronto Blue Jays), Steam Whistle Brewery, Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto City Hall, Dundas Square, Little Canada, and Toronto Waterfront.
We hope you get some useful tips and inspiration of the best things to do in Toronto, the world's most multicultural city.

I have a deep affection for Toronto. Originally from Rio, I've called Toronto home for five years now. There are countless activities to enjoy here, and I've had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful people. Thank you, Canadians, for your kindness. ♥️

[@kernoleary1394]

if only the prices werent so atrocious that those of us born here could afford to stay

[@davidbalcon8726]

Turtle Island is what First Nations’ people call the American continent floating on the earth, so that’s what the symbol in the circle refers to.

[@paulaolson1760]

Thanks for the shout out. Glad you enjoyed it

[@dianegreig4627]

You captured the downtown well guys. We really enjoyed Little Canada. Keep safe, healthy and happy.

[@jasonlynch2919]

Can't wait, just moved to Newfoundland last year. Gimme a shout when you're here.. good video guys.

[@bostonphotographer20]

Get to Quebec City. You’re going to love it. I’m from Maine so it was just a six hour drive. The history, the food, the sites are amazing.

[@NaHKi5]

Im sooooooo glad I subscribed! As a Finnish person there has always been something about Canada that intrigued me, but now seeing it more from you in KZbin, I REALLY want to visit!

[@sameerhussain9437]

Much needed video since everyone is saying Toronto is a not such a great city these days. Its still a beautiful place. gereat video

[@Zami80]

Wow, that is a beautiful big city. Much love from Finland!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

What a wonderful city.

[@preciousstone6878]

Great memories for me. Private High school in Toronto for Grade 12 & 13, then to Guelph university. From my apartment at Wellesley St, l could see the CNTower. I remember going to Central island twice with my friends & Ontario place.

[@chaw294]

Great video as always, Steve lvana. Toronto is beautiful. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

[@AI-BB]

Haven’t been visiting Canada for 15 years! Thanks for the update!

[@waynemclaughlin96]

The tourists would be doing exactly what you're both are doing, enjoying the sights and sounds of Toronto. You have your pick of hundreds of restaurants around Toronto with cuisine from around the world. I am a Torontorian myself born and raised in the east end of Toronto spent my early childhood in Regent Park and then my adult years in the west end of Toronto in Etobicoke. 😊

[@6mas]

YES!!!!!!! so excited for your upcoming Canada vlogs especially the east coast. Drive along the Cabot trail in Cape Breton Nova Scotia guys! yes unfortunately lots of sketchy activities going on in Toronto especially on TTC.

[@bostonphotographer20]

Cabot Trail is my mom’s favorite. We have family in PEI.

[@ludenunes6606]

Looking forward to your next adventures in Canada - especially Québec! I'm sure that bus will be put to good use very soon.

[@petesoebekti2022]

hi guys welcome to my hometown toronto i hope you guys have a pleasant and a wonderful time here 😃🍁❤

[@Khaanxx]

Little canada is the cutest little place.... we enjoyed it so much

[@hardyboy1959]

I laughed right at the beginning @ 00:05 where you say you're from Mississauga and point east and then say your wife is from Scarborough and you point west! lol

[@arty2k]

Interesting Toronto places... Casaloma, Aquarium, shark feeding restaurant, Urban exploring(Gargantua), The Path(probably the longest mall in Canada), Lake cruise, Do a public speech in a local university to encourage young people to explore the world before they get too old.

[@alicerobb5924]

Gotta do GRAFFITI ALLEY! It’s a great city for tourism. You showed downtown but didn’t go in the Eaton Centre, Hockey Hall of Fame, CNE, or up to Yorkville for the posh boutiques and restaurants. There’s Kew (or Woodbine)beach in the east end + Sunnyside & Cherry beach, High Park, Centre Island with amusement rides, beaches and picnic park areas, just outside the north end there’s Canada’s Wonderland, the beauty of Union Station I could go on & on there are so many unique places and things to see and do I don’t understand why you’d say it’s not a good tourist destination.

[@cosmo00013]

I love Toronto and and Steam Whistle is one of my favorite place/beer over there beside the other place ...The Keg ....and I am coming all away form Reno, NV !!! ...la fel de mult cum in mi place Roata din Cluj !!!

[@fchau6019]

I can tell you, a lot of tourists like to shop. So shopping in Toronto is another thing to talk about. Yorkdale Mall, the new The Well, Distillery district, Eaton Center all good places for shopping.

[@joeblack888]

Now a day who will shopping as a tourist when you can buy anything online.

[@fchau6019]

@@joeblack888 Believe you me, I do!! And lots of folks I know, also do the same. You got to be a woman to appreciate this.

[@weeeee8232]

it's been a while.. a long while (sorry guys~) since i last watch your vids. so happy to see Ivana's baby bump. happy happy happy happy happy. can't wait til 31/8 and say hello to lil mitch or lil merdeka. 😁

[@skirne_]

I would be really interested seeing Arctic Canada in the winter. I assume it is somewhat similar to Lapland of Finland but no one talks about Arctic Canada

[@jyrkipaavola.]

My wife and I went to Toronto soon after we met in 2008. Also saw the Niagara falls and went to a baseball game for the first (and only so far) time. Really liked the city. We stayed with relatives in Oakville and also visited Mississauga. We are looking forward to going back some time now that our daughter is old enough to go with us. By the way did you know that the new city hall was designed by a Finn called Viljo Revell? Greeting from Finland 👋

[@RobTVFilCanLife]

clean version of New York City. Toronto is. :)

[@SuperHonshu]

Go to the Scarborough Bluffs, quiet there! :)

[@PRETTYGROSSSTREETFOOD]

T.O..... Have to show Pacific Mall on Kennedy and Steeles in Markham!!! That food court on second level is amazing. Must show Congee Queen !!!

[@JetLagWarriors]

Congee Queen is so great!

[@PRETTYGROSSSTREETFOOD]

@@JetLagWarriors must try: Xiang Zi Hot Pot in Markham. Dragon Legend Buffet in Markham Sushi legend AYCE in Scarborough The Perfect Restaurant in Scarborough for Dim Sum. Linh Anh Vietnamese restaurant. The best pho I ever had in the GTA and I have had pho all over southern Ontario in the past 3 decades. First Markham Place Mall in Markham on HWY 7. That food court has one of the most authentic HK Chinese BBQ spot. Always line ups on weekends and during supper hours.

[@valleydog9102]

I visited the new city hall site with my parents when there was nothing there but a sign that read: "Site of the New Toronto City Hall & Civic Square. Design of Viljo Revel Selected in World Wide Competition". Transcribed from a photograph that I have of me standing in front of the sign with my mother. Viljo Revel was a Finn.

[@akhawaja87]

I am a big fan of yours. I am a Pakistani Canadian living in Mississauga. I think we need to make a video of the rent ridgeway food plaza

[@G1100L]

Toronto is one busy city!!❤

[@tanyaa9692]

Indigenous people referred to North America as Turtle Island in the past.

[@JetLagWarriors]

Thanks for this

[@Alex-gv2nx]

Absolutely beautiful. 💙

[@visator5785]

Happy National Day!

[@marcialves1]

I love Toronto! ❤❤

[@TMBpk]

Definitely was loud....thought it was just me.

[@jimmycfchung]

You guys should visit the Rom AGO Grange House Campbell house McKenzie house center island Ontario place just to name a few places.. how is the renovation on your truck van coming along ? Will there be any videos on it?

[@StrewthStoatPirate]

You gestured towards Scarborough when you said you were born in Mississauga. How dare. XD

[@betabot.]

things are costly here and people are getting poor as I live north of it

[@travelaround7366]

Been here over 25 years ....

[@paulaolson1760]

They come for all the food. Lots of foodies. Amazing restaurants though not cheap

[@user-ni1cz7kh4k]

You livinig great land ❤️

[@biking-viking-claus-andersen]

As a Dane, I can only say that I really like Toronto. The multicultural scene is really good, with some fantastic food. The Chinese/Vietnamese part of the city is amazing to eat at. Other than my angry ex-girlfriend from Brampton, I can not think of anything I dislike about Toronto 🙂

[@wilsonfernandes1940]

Fortunately you guys came back home . I love Toronto. I guess you guys have been travelling too much.😂 Take a rest and enjoy your first baby

[@laughingkor8643]

You did a good job in avoiding all the unhoused people, panhandlers, and tent encampments all over downtown Toronto. Well done!

[@torink8229]

homeless

[@laughingkor8643]

@@torink8229 To save face, the new terminology in Canada for "homeless" is "unhoused"! 🙄

[@torink8229]

@@laughingkor8643 Homeless and unhoused means the same thing, its dumb how we keep arbitrarily determining that certain words are offensive.

[@BeyfighterFaris]

Hope that we would be able to go there when our cousin graduates ❤

[@JetLagWarriors]

let us know when you come!

[@BeyfighterFaris]

@@JetLagWarriors will definitely do!

The original people called Canada Turtle Island. That's why there's a turtle in the letter O.

Miniature cities, especially Niagara's detailed replicas, are sick for pre-visiting the real spots!

[@jimmylam9846]

You won't miss anything last 5 years !

[@gratefuldeadly7899]

The real soul of Toronto is in the ethnic neighborhoods, little Italy, Danforth, Richmond Hill, and dare I say Pacific Mall ? LOL , nah, go outside of Toronto to see the small towns or the Algonquin.

[@treynolds94]

Iam an hour and half away in Peterborough love visiting the city but couldnt stand living in Toronto. Not sure why people do unless you have money.

Been going to TO , for a 3 day stay, once a year, for the past 12 yrs. However, I`ve notice the city, been the greatest city, to a shit hole city in the last 4 yrs. What happened? O, ya, gun crime, stabbings, car jackins, home vasions, New mayor, Chow, changing the name of young and dundas square, really!! Homeless encampments, and on and on. Tourists beware.
