Toronto
Canada's biggest city feels like multiple cities stitched together. Over 200 ethnicities, neighborhoods where you can eat your way through the world in a single afternoon, and a skyline dominated by the CN Tower. Toronto doesn't shout for attention — it's more of a slow burn. The food scene alone is worth the trip, and Niagara Falls is only 90 minutes away.

Toronto travel FAQ
How many days do I need in Toronto?
3–4 days works well. Day 1: CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market, and Distillery District. Day 2: Kensington Market, Chinatown, and Art Gallery of Ontario. Day 3: Toronto Islands for skyline views, then explore Yorkville or Queen West. Day 4: Day trip to Niagara Falls (about 90 minutes by car, or book a bus tour). The TTC subway system covers downtown well.
How do I get to Niagara Falls from Toronto?
Drive — it's about 90 minutes via the QEW highway. No car? GO Transit runs buses from Union Station ($15 CAD one way). FlixBus and Megabus offer budget options ($15–25 CAD). Many companies run day tours for around $80–120 CAD including transportation and stops at Niagara-on-the-Lake wine country. Skip the Maid of the Mist crowd and take the Hornblower boat on the Canadian side — better views.
What should I eat in Toronto?
Peameal bacon sandwich at Carousel Bakery in St. Lawrence Market — Toronto's signature. Chinatown dim sum on Spadina Avenue. Pho and banh mi in the Vietnamese strip on Ossington. Caribbean roti and jerk chicken in Little Jamaica on Eglinton. Kensington Market for eclectic eats — empanadas, pupusas, and cheese shops. The Korean restaurants on Bloor West rival Koreatown in any city.
