Hotels near Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport - YTZ, Toronto

Interesting destinations, diverse population, courteous drivers, and gorgeous architecture. We enjoyed the hop-on-Hop-off bus to provide an overview. The downtown is very walkable. The Acquarium is a must see. We also booked a day trip to Niagra Falls which was a lot of fun.

Toronto was a wonderful city to visit. We did a Hop-on Hop-off tour to see major landmarks in the city. We did a day trip to Niagara Falls and ate dinner at the top of the Sheraton with a wonderful view. We ate dinner at the top of the CN Tower. All exciting experiences.

Extremely nice people, Canadians. Recent immigrants can do a lot better in customer service and friendliness, they should be happy to live in such a great country, but many (esp. from Eastern European and Asian) fail, because not fully canadianized. Fortunately, there are exceptions, like the Chinese Scotiabank bank manager on Dundas and Spadina. He was efficient, helpfull, understanding and effective. He was the best embassador of Canada to me and made my day.

Toronto is a relaxing place. There are a ton of food options and the cuisines are very multicultural. There are food halls everywhere. There is a small waterfront and park, and several sites including museums. It is close to Niagara Falls.

I really enjoyed my time in Toronto, but I have to say Roger’s Stadium (not to be confused with Roger’s Centre) was a huge disappointment. Getting there was a trek, and the uneven walking path was rough—my wife even twisted her ankle. The stadium itself didn’t feel sturdy at all, swaying uncomfortably, and the overall organization left a lot to be desired. For example, people weren’t allowed to get to their seats because of “wind concerns,” which only made me worry more about how the structure was built. (The show was rescheduled and we were set to see our band at 7:20, yet they weren't letting us in at that time, and they wouldn't even tell us why.) Having been to Woodstock ’99, I can honestly say this place gave me the same uneasy feeling—like an accident waiting to happen. That said, the rest of the trip was wonderful. We had a beautiful stroll through Edward’s Gardens, enjoyed the absolute best onion rings ever at Rosie’s Burgers (their shakes are amazing too!), and had a great breakfast at Stacked Pancakes in Ontario. I’d gladly come back to Toronto again—just never for a concert at Roger’s Stadium.

As a former resident of Toronto I can say that it is much better than it was 40-50 years ago. In recent years, it has matured into a truly world class city with fine dining, entertainment and cultural activities so that anyone would be able to find fun and interesting things to see and do for adults and children; young and old. As with any big city, parking can be a problem and I recommend using Spot Hero to reserve a spot ahead of time. They have excellent customer service to provide information and support regarding your parking spot. Ripley's Aquarium is worth seeing more than once and the Bata Shoe museum is more interesting than you might think. Little Canada is also excellent and worth the visit! Casa Loma should be investigated further to be sure you think it is worth visiting.
