Our tips for Toronto

  • Fashionably Late. If you’d like a little elbow room during your time inside the CN Tower, arrive after 6 p.m. Showing up before 11:00 a.m. works, as well.
  • Know When To Fold ‘Em. At the Royal Ontario Museum, you only need to fork over the additional cash for featured exhibits if your kids are going bonkers for it. Otherwise, general admission is more than sufficient.
  • Melting Pot. Don’t assume everyone who lives in Toronto is Canadian. Over half of Toronto’s residents were born elsewhere.
  • Prepare for the weather. Toronto’s weather remains unpredictable and varies particularly during the winter months. Make sure to pack light layers and bring an umbrella.
  • Explore the neighborhoods. Delve into Toronto's diverse array of neighborhoods, each boasting its own distinct ambiance and attractions. Spend time exploring areas such as Kensington Market, Queen Street West, and the Distillery District to uncover local boutiques, eateries, and cultural landmarks.
  • Use public transport. Toronto’s public transport system is highly efficient with wide network of subways and buses to get around the city.
  • Visit key attractions early. It may get crowded, so it is wise to visit the key attractions of Toronto like CN Tower and Royal Ontario Museum early during the morning hours.
  • Respect local customs. Since Toronto is a multicultural city, be mindful of the local customs and treat everyone with respect.
