Toronto has some seriously long roads (Yonge Street is over 50 miles), but with focus you’ll find it walkable. Begin your tour at the Art Gallery of Ontario, which was revamped ten years ago. It has a permanent collection of more than 95,000 works, with exhibitions spanning European masters from the 1600s to 20th-century North American painters. Head for the section on the Group of Seven, a collective of artists from the 1920s to 30s who depicted the country’s landscapes in beautiful colors. Look out for Above Lake Superior by Lawren S Harris, The Cloud, Red Mountain by Frederick H Varley, and Falls, Montreal River by J E H MacDonald. The gallery describes them as giving a “unique artistic voice” to Canada. ago.ca
