While you are there: • Walk through David Pecaut Square (the vast paved courtyard between Roy Thomson Hall and Metro Hall) to admire the buildings' architecture and water flowing from a modern sculpture.

In and around
You can't miss the Roy Thomson Hall with its shiny round shape against a background of angular high-rise buildings. Inside, its architecture creates a dramatic effect, emphasized by the interplay of mirrors and mezzanines. Outside, the building is flanked by a pond simulating an Ontario lake complete with boulders and evergreens. (Get closer! You can't see it from the street, it is located at the lower level.)
