Toronto Planning & Tips

The Art of Smart Timing
A city destination, winter is low season in Toronto, as most visit Canada in the winter for its slopes. Summer is high season, when the weather is at its warmest, and you'll find great deals in the spring and fall shoulder seasons.

Getting There
Toronto's main airport is Pearson International Airport, served by Air Canada and more than 75 other scheduled and chartered airlines. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (formerly Toronto City Centre Airport) located on Toronto Island, a few minutes away from Toronto's downtown by ferry. Porter Airlines serves this airport.

Amtrak and VIA Rail arrive at Union Station, 65 Front St. Roads linking Toronto to surrounding cities include Highways 2, 401 and 407. The US-Canada border crossings nearest Toronto are at Niagara Falls, Fort Erie and Windsor.

American visitors must have passports.

Getting Around
Toronto has excellent mass transportation. Along with buses and trolley cars, the city has an efficient subway system. PATH, 16 miles of underground shopping and cafes, links many downtown destinations, making it possible to reach many downtown destinations without having to go above ground, a boon in cold weather.
