U FOKUSU / IN FOCUS
FIRST TIME IN TORONTO? Toronto isn’t only Canada’s largest city – it rep- resents the entire world in a single metropolis. When you land there for the first time, you’ll under- stand why many call it “New York with manners”. The streets are filled with different languages, aro- mas and colours from all corners of the world, but everything functions in accordance with Canadian coolness and a smile that never seems forced. For starters there’s the sky. Visiting the CN Tower is a must. Once the world’s tallest building, it remains the best observation point to view the city and Lake Ontario for the first time. If you’re brave enough, ex- perience the “EdgeWalk” - a walk on a ledge cicling the top of the tower, 356 metres above the ground. Next head down to the Harbourfront neighbour- hood, where Toronto breathes more easily along the waterfront. Here you can ice skate with a view of snow-covered ships in the winter, while in the sum- mer months everything is taken over by the aromas of street food and the sounds of jazz. Head a little further on and you’ll come across the Toronto Islands – offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, but also a picture postcard view of the city’s skyline. When hunger strikes, Toronto becomes a foodie’s paradise. From Little Italy and The Danforth Greek- town, to Chinatown and Koreatown – every nation has its own little quarter and proudly preserves its authentic flavours. Meanwhile, at the city’s ubiq- uitous vegan restaurants you’ll sample dishes that even the most dedicated meat-eaters would keep for themselves. When it comes to art, there’s the Art Gallery of On- tario and the Royal Ontario Museum, while Kensing- ton Market is a must for those with a bohemian spirit. Vintage shops, street murals, cafés with a soul – this is Toronto in its most chilled attire. And evenings out? Hop over to the Distillery District, a former industri- al complex that’s been transformed into a romantic labyrinth of galleries, bars and sparkling lights. Toron- to will win you over with its diversity, but also with its warmth. This is a city that doesn’t view you as a tour- ist, but as someone who’s just moved here.
PRVI PUT U TORONTU? Toronto nije samo najveći kanadski grad – on je čitav svet u jednoj metropoli. Ka- da sletite prvi put, biće vam jasno zašto ga mnogi zovu „Njujork sa manirima“. Ulice su prepune jezika, mirisa i boja iz svih krajeva planete, ali sve funkcioniše sa kanadskom smirenošću i osmehom koji nikad ne delu- je iznuđeno. Za početak – nebo. „CN Tower“ je nezao- bilazan. Nekada najviša građevina na sve- tu, i dalje je najbolja tačka za prvi pogled na grad i jezero Ontario. Ako ste dovolj- no hrabri, prošetajte „EdgeWalkom“ – sta- zom oko vrha tornja, 356 metara iznad ze- mlje. Potom se spustite do Harborfronta uz obalu. Zimi se ovde kliza uz pogled na sne- gom posute brodove, a leti sve preplavi mi- ris ulične hrane i zvuk džeza. Malo se uda- ljite i čekaju vas Ostrva Toronta – savršen beg od gradske vreve, sa pogledom na lini- ju horizonta koja izgleda kao razglednica.
Kada ogladnite, Toronto je raj za gurmane. Od italijanskog „Little Italy“ i grčkog „Dan- fortha“, do kineskog i korejskog kvarta – svaka nacija ima svoj kutak i ponosno ču- va svoje ukuse. U veganskim restoranima, kojih ima na svakom koraku, probaćete jela koja ni najposvećeniji mesožderi neće že- leti da dele. Za umetnost, tu su „Art Gallery of Onta- rio“ i „Royal Ontario Museum“, a ako vo- lite boemski duh – „Kensington Market“ je obavezna stanica. Vintidž prodavni- ce, ulični murali, kafe sa dušom – to je To- ronto u svom najopuštenijem izdanju. A večernji izlazak? Skoknite do „Disti- llery Districta“, nekadašnjeg industrijskog kompleksa pretvorenog u romantični la- virint galerija, pivnica i svetlucavih lampi- ca. Toronto će vas osvojiti svojom razno- likošću, ali i toplinom. To je grad koji vas ne gleda kao turistu, već kao nekog ko se upravo doselio.
