Explore the cosmopolitan city of Toronto with a side trip to Niagara Falls on this short Canadian stopover. Starting in the city, you’ll enjoy a tour of the main highlights, taking in the famous CN Tower and old Distillery District before continuing to explore yourself through cool neighbourhoods like Kensington and Chinatown. Finish your trip with a visit to Niagara Falls where you’ll spend the night, allowing you a full day of exploration behind the falls. Set sail on the famous Hornblower cruise, hike along the White Water Walk or squeeze in both. If you want to experience Toronto and Niagara in just a few days – this is the Toronto city break for you!
This itinerary can be tailored to suit your requirements please contact one of our consultants to start planning your dream trip.
On arrival in Toronto you will make your own way into the city and check into your hotel for two nights. On your first evening, why not head up the CN Tower for spectacular views of the city at night or enjoy dinner in Chinatown.
Today you’ll enjoy a tour of the city, visiting the Eaton Centre and Chinatown as well as the Old and New City Halls. Afterwards, you can spend the rest of the day getting to know this eclectic city, from the modern skyscrapers to the pedestrian-only Distillery District. Taste some local specialities in St. Lawrence Market and head to the Hockey Hall of Fame to spot your favourite players. This evening, why not head to the harbour for dinner under the twinkling lights?
Today you’ll be transferred to Niagara Falls, where you’ll spend the rest of the day exploring at your leisure. We’ve included the Niagara Falls Adventure Pass which gives you entry to the Journey Behind the Falls, a network of tunnels through the bedrock that emerges behind the cascades. Standing here, you will have one fifth of all the world’s fresh water crashing down in front of you! You can also hike along the Niagara Gorge on the White Water Walk or hop on the Hornblower cruise (both included in the Adventure Pass). Whatever you choose, be sure to don your poncho and prepare to get wet!
Today is your last day in Canada – in the morning you’ll be taken back to Toronto Airport in time for your onwards flight.
Weather can be variable at all times of the year in Southern and Eastern Canada. The South (including Toronto and Ottawa) is the most densely populated part of the country and also warmest part of Canada, due to its southerly latitude. The Great Lakes tend not to freeze over until mid-December. Winter brings the snow and the weather can be pretty severe.
Summers are quite warm with considerable amounts of sunshine. High season falls in the summer months here, with lots of tourists visiting and room rates at a premium. Crowds drop and temperatures are cooler during May, September and October which can make for a pleasant time to visit, although be aware that the opening hours of some city attractions may be restricted. Ski resorts peak again during the winter months.
