Planning your trip to Toronto

Best time to visit

Late May to September brings warm weather, patios and festivals, and September to early October is often the most comfortable stretch. Winters are cold and snowy, but downtown has covered walkways and indoor attractions that make a short winter stay workable.

How many days you need

Three days covers the CN Tower area, a market or two, the waterfront and a neighborhood such as Kensington Market. Add a day if you want to visit Niagara Falls, which is a long day trip from the city.

Getting around

The subway, streetcars and buses cover most of the city on one fare system, and downtown is walkable in warm weather. An airport rail link and buses connect the main airport with the center. Ferries run to the Toronto Islands in the warmer months.

What to skip

Restaurants right beside the busiest tourist squares are aimed at passing visitors. A short walk into a neighborhood such as Kensington, Queen West or Little Italy usually finds better food and more local prices.
