First downtown impression from the Gardiner Expy.
Stopping Over

I visited Toronto a number of times during stopovers on and from my way to other Canadian destinations. On all visits I met some VT-friends (see T-logues).

To me Toronto is a perfect melting pot of people from all over the world.

Downtown Toronto is nice with nice spots along Lake Ontario.

I like the belt around the highrise part of town. If you take a walk of just half a hour, you enter China Town or any other interesting area with hidden shops and restaurants.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Many people with different backgrounds
  • Cons:Peakloaded at times
  • In a nutshell:CN Tower and more

    Aerofleet is not to be trusted. The driver calls the dispatcher late then you're billed late fee and have no recourse, because it's the driver's word against yours.

    Pieter, excellent travel pages of Canada. I too went up the sky tower in Toronto. You were so close to Niagara Falls & did not see them? G'day from Australia
