The best street car ride in town: the 501 Queen Streetcar

The 501 streetcar is the longest street car route in Toronto and the most interesting. It passes by The Beach area, Leslieville, Eaton Centre, City Hall, the old CHUM building, the new Canadian Opera Company, the fashionable shops on Queen West and goes all the way to the edge of Mississauga. It's almost always packed and can be uncomfortable in the summer because it has no air conditioning. But it's a great way for a first-timer, or even an old-timer, to see the some interesting city landmarks.
