TORONTO · CANADA
The lake, the falls, the city in between.
Day trips to Niagara, harbour cruises on Lake Ontario, Distillery District nights and walking tours through Old Town. The neighbourhoods, the icons, and the day out everyone takes.
Three Toronto days
The trips everyone takes.
One to the world’s most famous waterfall. One out on Lake Ontario with the skyline at your shoulder. One on cobblestones through North America’s biggest Victorian district. Plan the rest of the trip around these three.
The day trip
Niagara, from Toronto.
A ninety-minute drive south of the city and you reach a wonder of the world. Toronto's most-booked day out lines up coach pickup, a Hornblower or Maid of the Mist cruise to the foot of the falls, an optional walk through the tunnels behind, and a stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake on the way home. Back in the city by dinner.

From the lake
Toronto from Lake Ontario.
The skyline reads completely differently from the water. Harbour cruises put the CN Tower over your shoulder and the Toronto Islands on the other side. Pick a daytime sightseeing run, a dinner cruise at sunset, or a sailing yacht for the quieter version.

- 2 Toronto: Premium Harbor Cruise with Lunch, Brunch, or Dinner

Historic Toronto
Cobblestones, craft, Distillery District.
North America's largest collection of preserved Victorian industrial architecture sits east of downtown. Whisky warehouses now hold cocktail bars and chocolate shops, the lanes are pedestrian-only, and the brickwork glows amber after dark. Walk it with a guide, eat through it on a food tour, or wander on your own.
