Toronto, Canada, in the province of Ontario, is one of the most diverse, fun and safe cities to visit in North America. It is the biggest city in Canada, and one of the top financial destinations in the world. But you don't have to spend a pretty penny when you visit Toronto. Here's a look at some of the free and relatively cheap sightseeing attractions, plus one dining option.

The Saint Lawrence Market Complex is home to a Saturday Farmer's Market that dates back to 1803, as well as the Tuesday-through-Saturday South Market, with more than 50 vendors selling fresh fruit, veggies, meats, cheese, breads and more. This amazing, colorful, outdoor marketplace is located just south of nearby St James Park and minutes from the Gardiner Expressway. In addition to shopping for fresh foodstuffs, you can stop into a deli, pizzeria or other restaurant for prepared meals. Enjoy the people watching!

One of Toronto’s biggest attractions is also one of its most beautiful and historic. Casa Loma, a majestic castle-like mansion and former home of prominent businessman Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, is located on Toronto’s Austin Terrace.

A highlight of this must-see location is Casa Loma’s five acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, that include sculptures and fountains. Inside the mansion, visitors can peek into 20 of the 98 rooms, including the wine cellar, billiard room, smoking room, library and Sir Henry’s suite. You will marvel at the décor of each of the rooms, and really get a sense of how good this Toronto financier truly had it. Admission is affordable too: $17 for adults 18-59, $11 for seniors 60+/children 14-17, and $9.25 for children ages 4-13.
