When to Visit Toronto
The best times to visit Toronto are March through May and September through November. Peak tourist season occurs during the summer months: the sidewalks come alive with pedestrian marketplaces, patio restaurants and numerous cultural events. However, as temperatures rise, so do prices. If you're looking to save money on hotels, pack a parka and book your trip during the wintertime.

Getting Around Toronto
The best way to get around Toronto is by public transportation. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) runs three types -- subway, streetcar and bus -- which operate extensive routes throughout the city and suburbs. You will need a token or a pass to travel on TTC; day and week passes allow for unlimited rides on all three forms of public transport. The subway also connects the city to the Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), as do taxi cabs. However, you can expect to pay about $57 CAD (roughly $57 USD) for a cab, while the subway will cost a measly $3 CAD.
