Vaughan lies immediately north of Toronto in the Greater Toronto Area and is largely suburban, with a new high-rise downtown developing around the subway terminus. It has a substantial Italian-Canadian community and includes the older villages of Woodbridge, Maple and Kleinburg.
Canada's Wonderland, the country's largest theme park, is the best-known attraction. The McMichael Canadian Art Collection at Kleinburg holds an outstanding collection of Group of Seven landscape painting in a woodland setting, and is the more rewarding visit for many.
A subway extension reaches the new downtown from Toronto, and commuter rail serves other parts. The city is spread out and a car is the practical choice for most trips.
Late spring through early autumn is much the most pleasant, with good autumn colour around Kleinburg. Winters are cold and snowy.
