Getting around Toronto

Flights to Toronto depart from Milan Malpensa and land at the Toronto Pearson International Airport. Once you arrive at your destination, there are several ways to travel to the city. The first option, which is the one most used by travellers, involves a trip on the Union Pearson Express: a fast train that takes only 25 minutes to reach Toronto's Union Station. From the airport it is also possible to take a taxicab; the journey, depending on traffic, takes about thirty minutes. The city of Toronto itself is well-connected by various services: Canadian public transport is the cheapest and easiest way to get around Toronto. The extensive network of buses and trams allows travellers to move independently and smoothly between one attraction and another.

What to visit in Toronto

There are many things to see in Toronto during a trip to North America. It is the largest city in Canada, and also the most densely populated, so it has a lot to offer its visitors. Among the cultural attractions, one cannot miss a visit to the National Ballet Theatre or the Royal Ontario Museum. Inside the latter, visitors can admire a permanent collection of about 3,000 specimens of extraordinary minerals, gems and fossils. Also fascinating is the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), which, with its collection of about 95,000 works, is one of the largest art galleries in North America. But it is impossible to visit Toronto without visiting the iconic CN Tower, a true symbol of the city, from the top of which one can admire enchanting views. 
There are, in fact, several viewpoints to visit on several floors: the Look Out floor is located at 346 metres, while the Sky Pod - the highest - rises an impressive 447 metres above the city. The lowest point, however - and the most fascinating - is what is called the Glass Floor. As you might guess from the name, it offers the thrill of a walk through the void on a glass floor rising 342 metres above the ground - an unforgettable experience! Also not to be missed is a walk in the Trinity Bellwoods park, or around the shores of the great Lake Ontario. Toronto is also very close to the imposing Niagara Falls, so that it is often used as a starting point to reach them. These majestic waterfalls, which rise along the border with the United States, are absolutely incredible.

Where to eat

Downtown Toronto boasts an incredible cultural melting pot, which has also influenced its cuisine. Its international food scene is vast, offering a wide range of traditional restaurants from all over the world, as well as more modern places where fusion cuisine and experimentation take the lead. Toronto's traditional dishes include poutine, a comfort food that can be found on almost every menu in downtown venues, and the bacon and mustard roll. Food markets where you can try freshly prepared street food and craft breweries are trendy gastronomic attractions.
