Narrating in present simple general truths?
I know that past simple ( in general past tenses) is used when narrating a story.
But I would like to know if we can use present simple when that statement is a general truth.
eg.
Five years ago ,I had the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful cities in the world, which is Toronto.( Is it right in present simple or past simple?)
