トロント ツアー・チケット・観光ガイド

A Niagara Falls day trip, the CN Tower, the Toronto Islands by ferry or harbour cruise, a Kensington Market food tour, St. Lawrence Market, Casa Loma, the Distillery District, the Royal Ontario Museum, Ripley’s Aquarium and a Niagara-on-the-Lake wine tour. The Falls and the food tours are what visitors rate highest.

Three days: two in the city, one at Niagara Falls. Do the CN Tower and the islands on your first day, the markets and Casa Loma on the second, and book the Falls tour for a weekday when the viewpoints are quieter. Four days lets you add the wineries or a Blue Jays game.

The Distillery District, Kensington Market, St. Lawrence Market, Graffiti Alley, High Park, the Harbourfront, Nathan Phillips Square and the Toronto sign, the University of Toronto’s St. George campus, the Art Gallery of Ontario on Wednesday evenings, and the skyline from Polson Pier or the Islands ferry (about $9 return).

Niagara Falls (90 minutes, from $48), Niagara-on-the-Lake wine country (90 minutes, from $57, usually combined with the Falls), the Toronto Islands (15-minute ferry), Blue Mountain and Collingwood (2 hours) and the Muskoka lakes (2.5 hours). Guided tours with hotel pickup cover the Niagara trips.

The CN Tower after dark, a dinner cruise on the harbour, the Distillery District’s bars and winter light festival, live music on Queen Street West and in Kensington, a Raptors, Leafs or Blue Jays game, the Entertainment District theatres, ghost walks of the old town, and the night views from the Toronto Islands.

Winter is cold (often below −5°C) but has its own list: the Distillery District Winter Village and Christmas market, skating at Nathan Phillips Square and the Harbourfront, the PATH underground city, Ripley’s Aquarium and the ROM, a Leafs or Raptors game, and Niagara Falls frozen at the edges with the Winter Festival of Lights through January.

Ripley’s Aquarium, the CN Tower’s glass floor, the Toronto Islands with Centreville amusement park and the beaches, the Ontario Science Centre, the ROM’s dinosaur galleries, Casa Loma’s secret passages, the Toronto Zoo, a harbour cruise, and the boat ride at Niagara Falls.

June to September for warm weather, patios, the islands and the festivals (Pride, Caribana, TIFF in September). September and October are the sweet spot: still warm, fall colour on the Niagara Parkway and fewer crowds at the Falls. May is pleasant and cheaper; winter is for the indoor list.

Yes — it is the easiest way to see Niagara Falls, one of the best food cities in North America thanks to its immigrant neighbourhoods, and a skyline worth the ferry ride. Give it three days and treat the Falls as a full day, not an afternoon.
