Toronto is the central airline hub of Canada. It is also the business centre of Canada where much of the country's commerce takes place. Chances are you will not fly over Toronto, but rather will fly via or to Toronto. The city sprawls out quite a distance when looking at the Greater Toronto area.
The airport terminals are spacious with shops and restaurants open well into the evening. After collecting your baggage you exit the terminal buildings where there is a wide variety of transportation options. There are the conveniently located car rentals, taxi cabs, prearranged limo services or the less expensive and less direct Airport Express. The Airport Express shuttle service buses passengers from the airport to major downtown hotels every 20 minutes throughout the day and every 30 minutes in the evening. The shuttles are convenient enough especially if you don't want to brave the traffic into the Downtown city centre.
During the day it can take up to 1.5 hours to make the journey between the city and the Toronto International airport out in Mississauga. If you are fortunate enough to arrive at the airport later on in the evening after the traffic has settled down, the trip only takes about 30 minutes.
Restaurants, shops and other conveniences are available well into the eveing if not throughout the night. The CN tower itself is open past midnight although the second elevator ascent to the top does close earlier than the rest of the facility. Whether visiting during the day or the night, the CN Tower is a must see attraction. It's also a good idea to check out which theatre or sporting events are on as the widest Canadian variety of events takes place in Toronto. Toronto in and of itself may not be a popular repeat destination in my mind, but it is one that people find themselves coming back to due to business meetings and fine arts events. And it doesn't hurt that Niagara Falls is only a day trip away.

Toronto is one of the best cities to visit in Canada. There are great places to go to like Niagara and the many leisure centers. I've been to Canada for a business trip last year with fellow employees and I really enjoyed my stay. Some of them, though, had a hard time since they rode in cabs for transportation and they had to get a new one every now and then. It would have been wiser for groups to rent a car like brampton limousines in such situations for convenience and style in one. Hope this helpsPosted 05-23-2010 at 08:48 PM by Joel Peter
