We'll be 4 adults planning to visit Canada (Niagra falls and tornoto) from Manchester UK. How hot it is in July? Its just as in initial stages of planning so flexible. Day 1 will be a rest day. Day 2 will explore downtown Toronto. What are things to do? One is CN Tower! Suggest other things to do please. We are not interested in museums though. Day 3 would go to Niagara falls and planning to stay there overnight. But we have luggage with us. We'll not drive and rely on public transport or uber. What is the best mode keeping in mind the bags and 4 adult ? Day 4 we leave from niagra falls ( afternoon flight) and take flight from Toronto Pearson Airport to Newark airort . What is the best transport mode with reasonable fare to get to the airport from Niagra Falls? Or alternatively there is an option to see Niagara falls first after arriving in Toronto, stay there for 2 nights and then go to downtown and stay there the 3rd night . Overall 3 nights seem short but we have to go USA and due to work commitment can't take days off.

Toronto -- Niagara Falls

July tends to be hot and humid. No question about that.

Niagara Falls can easily been done just as a day trip from Toronto.

Have a jolly good time.

Hi beenishnaeem

For one not interested in a museum, in addition to the CN Tower, I’d recommend going to the Toronto Islands; going to Centre Island is a very popular thing to do on a nice weekend day so the lineup for the ferry can be consequently quite long—taking a water taxi from downtown would make sense on such a day. Better might be a weekday. There are places to change if one wishes to swim at the beach there. I would recommend enjoying one of my favourite things about Toronto, its lakefront, while there—the Beaches neighbourhood and even just the waterfront near the ferry terminal can make for a nice stroll if the water taxi seems too pricey and the ferries too busy.

Saint Lawrence Market and Kensington Market are worth a look if you like markets. I like the architecture and charm of some older residential areas more than the concrete and glass of Toronto’s central core, although the central core is buzzing, which can be fun. To name two areas of a number, Little Portugal and the areas near the Drake & Gladstone Hotel I have appreciated for the residential style and eating/drinking establishments with characters.

GO Train goes direct from Toronto to Niagara Falls at certain times (or GO Train from Toronto Union Station to Burlington and bus to Niagara Falls from Burlington) is an option. I have heard good things about the UP express from Toronto Union Station to Pearson airport, but have never taken it.

Three days to see both Toronto and Niagara Falls will only give you the tiniest of tastes but since that’s all the time you can afford, I hope you enjoy!

All the best

You might consider a bus tour as a day trip from Toronto to Niagara Falls. Return to your Toronto hotel so that you will be positioned to get to the airport the next day. Gray Line is one company to research, among others. In addition to the transportation to the Falls, a bus tour might include other scenic areas (Niagara on the Lake, Niagara Parkway, vineyards and wineries) and commentary.

Here is one option for transportation between the airport and Union Station in Toronto—the UP express mentioned by Daniel Williams.

Thanks for response. We want to stay for 2 nights at Niagara falls as want to see lights. We'll buy niagara fall pass to take behind the falls tour, tunnel and power station visit and cable car. Will also see Skylon Tower and take city cruise so the day we land at the airport planning to reach at Niagara falls. As it would be a long journey so day 1 would be a rest day as would reach in the evening. Then next day we'll have 1 full day and a night. Then 3rd day will go to Toronto. I am looking at different options to get to Niagara. Uber cost is around 200 dollars but as we are 4 people so train ticket is around 30 dollars per person. We'll be staying somewhere central ( near falls) but we have to get to the hotel with all the luggage. I was just thinking to get an uber keeping in view that it would be a long journey plus luggage. On 3rd day in order to go to Toronto should we again get a UP Train? Does UP train go directly to downtown? In which area should we stay in Toronto?

The UP train travels to and from downtown (Union station) to the Airport. To travel from Niagara Falls to Toronto you could use the GO bus, GO train (more frequent commuter trains) or Via Rail (less frequent). If you were to take the GO train to Union station in Toronto and stay in a hotel near Union station then you would be well situated for travel back to the airport when you depart.

I’m not sure what your budget is… the hotel closest to Union Station’s main entrance is the Royal York.The Delta is also close. There are many options, if your budget allows, in that area.

Hi! I can suggest a few cities that are often recommended for travel, like Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec, and of course, Toronto. Personally, Ive only been to Toronto, but I really liked it! I especially enjoyed the waterfront and Distillery District, where there are lots of cafes and shops. For niagara falls, it’s easiest to use a bus or train, especially with luggage. From Toronto to Pearson, it’s best to take a bus or tax
