I surprisingly fell in love with the city of Toronto. I only spent a few days here and I want to share with you my experience here. Toronto is one of the most beautiful cities, I have ever seen. It’s like a mini version of New York, which is cleaner and cheaper, and also the people are friendlier. There are a lot of things to do and places to see and restaurants to eat here. I will give you some of the best and affordable restaurants from a local’s perspective.
How to get there?
By Airplane: There
are two airports in Toronto, which are Toronto Pearson International (YYZ); and
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ)
BY Intercity bus: You can try the Greyhand, Ontario Northland, or Coach
Canada
By Train; By Ferry; By Car
How to get around Toronto ?
Toronto
has a very effective mass transit system. They have trams, subways, buses that
are very tourist friendly. If you don’t want to spend a buck on transportation,
you can just do a walking tour of the whole
city. You can also rent a bikefor $7 for 1 day. Bike sharing
is quite a big thing in Toronto, it’s also a safe place because there are a lot
of bicycle lanes around the city. You can also hire an UBER car
which is cheaper and safer compared to taking
taxis.
If
you are in Toronto for just a few days, I advise you to get a DAY PASS
for only $11.50. This allows you to have unlimited travel to all
modes of transportation in Downtown Toronto.
Weekly Pass is $40.75; Monthly Pass is $141.50
Where to Eat?
Poutini’s- Try
the best poutine here after a wild night out with your friends.
The Burger’s Priest- Best burgers in Toronto Try the burger with portabella
mushroom
Old School- Eating
brunch is a must here. Try their Pancakes with Peanut Butter, and Spicy fried
chicken and waffles
Pea meal Bacon- Try
the famous sandwich at the St. Lawrence Market
Chinatown- There are also a lot of good restaurants in this area. You
can also try the Vietnamese and Thai Restaurants here
Where to Stay?
There
are many affordable hotels in Downtown Toronto Ranging from $100 to $200. Look
for hotel brands like Courtyard Marriot, or Fourpoints by Sheraton.
The
most expensive hotels are theTrump International Hotel, and theFairmont
York Hotel which can cost you up to $500 a day. The
Fairmont York Hotel is one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen. The
queen usually stays at this hotel, whenever she’s in Toronto.
There
are also many youth hostels for backing tourists in Downtown Toronto, that can
range from $30 to $50 a day.
If
you want to try the local experience, you can also rent apartment
through AIRBNB.
Look
