Although not the capital of the county, Toronto is the largest city in Canada. It has the worlds tallest tower, great theme parks and a beautiful harbour precinct on the shores of Lake Ontario. It is becoming increasingly more popular as a tourist destination.
Travelling there
Generally people arrive to this area of eastern Canada in two ways. The first is to arrive at the Toronto Pearson International airport that is extremely busy and receives lights from worldwide airports. The second way of getting there is by road from the US-Canada border at Niagara Falls. The road network is well designed with links to Detroit, Ottawa and upstate Ontario. If trains take your fancy then the rail is another option.
Accommodation Choices
The majority of hotels in Toronto cater for modest budgets despite there being a great choice of four and five star hotels. The accommodation is scattered all over the city. Staying in the outskirts of the city is not a problem because the public transport system is excellent. Generally, the further away from the city centre you venture, the cheaper the accommodation gets.
