I was born in Norway and moved to Canada with my family as a preteen. Canada is what I consider home (Toronto in specific). Lived in Austin for 9 years then to Chicago for 5 years - and just moved back to Canada! I live to travel, and if I could, I would be working remotely for the rest of my life, hopping from one country to another. Toronto tips and suggested walking path: Transportation I highly recommend buying a Presto card for $5 especially if you will be using public transport to/from airport - you can alternately use your credit card to tap directly as you enter the TTC To/from airport to the city: cheapest/quickest is UP express. Cost is $9/10 one way with Presto Card, otherwise its $12 one way. TTC subway/bus/tram cost $3 per entry Price is valid for 2 hours of travel and includes free transfers between subway to Trams as long as they are affiliated to TTC. Here is a suggested walking path for Toronto: [  ] Distillery district [  ] St Lawrence market (good choices of food - closes by 6/7 pm) [  ] Harbourfront [  ] Beavertails (145 Queens Quay West) try the beavertail its a dessert not a real beavertail its a pastry popular in Canada [  ] CN tower from outside [  ] Royal thomson hall [  ] OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design - beautiful building) [  ] Four seasons centre for performing arts (nice building see it from outside) [  ] Gardens of the Osgoode Hall (Osgoode Hall has the provinces highest court- see it from outside) [  ] Nathan phillips square (take a picture of the Toronto sign) [  ] Toronto city hall [  ] Toronto old city hall [  ] Eaton centre (Mall) - walk through it inside and exit to yonge and dundas square) [  ] Yonge/Dundas Square [  ] Kensington market and chinatown [  ] University of Toronto Faculty of Engineering (University of Toronto is the biggest and oldest university in Toronto) For a list of events happening in Toronto: https://www.blogto.com/events/ Also checkout https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/festivals-events/ You can get to Niagara Falls by Go train.
