Casa Loma

Toronto, Canada
4.6 / 95
casa-loma
The original mansion was built at the beginning of the 20th century for a wealthy businessman, Sir G.M. Pellate. After some time, he sold the castle due to the inability to maintain real estate and pay taxes. Until the 30s. the building was used as a hotel, and then was transferred to the state. The castle was turned into a tourist attraction. It is rented periodically for private events.

It was very busy when I was there on a Monday. The museum is incredible, but it can be hard to navigate the crowds. There are many small rooms, hallways, staircases and it becomes very cramped. I would absolutely suggest checking it out, but be awar.. Read more »
