Toronto Skyline View, Northern Canada Travel Guide

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car from Northern Canada, plan your route to Toronto. Depending on your starting location, you may take the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) southbound. Once you arrive in Toronto, follow signs for downtown and the waterfront. Use the Gardiner Expressway, exit at Yonge Street, and follow the signs to the Ferry Dock located at 43.6315728 latitude and -79.3578677 longitude. Parking may be available nearby, but be prepared for potential fees ranging from $5 to $20 CAD, depending on the duration.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transport, start by taking a flight from Northern Canada to Toronto Pearson International Airport. From there, board the UP Express train to Union Station. After arriving at Union Station, you can either walk to the Ferry Dock or take the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) streetcar or bus. If walking, head south on Bay Street, then turn left onto Queens Quay West, walking towards the waterfront. The Ferry Dock is located at 43.6315728 latitude and -79.3578677 longitude. Be aware that the UP Express fare is approximately $12 CAD, and TTC fares for streetcar/bus rides are around $3.35 CAD.

• Ferry

  Once you reach the Ferry Dock, you can take a ferry to the Toronto Islands for an even better view of the skyline. Ferry tickets cost about $7.50 CAD for adults and $3.50 CAD for children. The ferry ride provides a unique perspective of the Toronto skyline and typically operates from early morning until late evening, but schedules may vary. Be sure to check the ferry schedule in advance to plan your visit accordingly.
