Flight + Hotel in Toronto

With a population of approximately 3 million people, Toronto is Canada's largest city. If real estate is all about location, Toronto has location in spades. Sitting on the shores of the 18,960 square-kilometre Lake Ontario, the city boasts an absolutely incomparable view. It's no wonder that more than 40 million people per year plan holidays in Toronto. Add your name to the list, and see what everyone's talking about by booking your flight to Toronto.

This bustling city has something for everyone. Fine eateries, music festivals, vibrant nightlife, and cultural events are part of the fabric of Toronto. Typical water-based activities include inner harbour cruises, sailing adventures, and paddle boarding sessions. Rent a board and use your own paddle power for low-cost holiday entertainment and a unique view of Lake Ontario.

Toronto's semi-continental climate is tempered by the geographical location along the shores of Lake Ontario. The city sees warm, humid summers and chilly winters. Summer temperatures average a high of about 27 degrees C, and hot spells raise the temperature enough to load up local beaches and delight those who love the sun. Consider booking your Toronto flight and hotel in July or August if you crave those hot sunny days.

Ontario is also known for its spectacular Autumn foliage. Take a hike, or hop on a bike for a cruise through Toronto parks to get a taste of nature's artwork as leaves of green change to bright red, orange, and yellow hues. Check out low-cost holidays at off-season rates when you schedule your trip to Toronto in the Autumn months.

Toronto is bursting with things to do. You can participate in outdoor activities, enjoy indoor entertainment, go on shopping marathons, and take in professional sporting events. Book your flight from London to Toronto or make arrangements for a flight from Manchester to Toronto, and get ready to have some fun. Check out these Toronto offerings:

• Get close to feathered and furry friends, and observe daily farm chores at Riverdale Farm
• Take in a Toronto Blue Jays MLB baseball game at Rogers Centre
• Look out over the city from the observation deck of the CN Tower
• Get your mall shopping fix with the 250 retailers at the Toronto Eaton Centre on Yonge Street
• Tour the Steam Whistle Brewery located in the historic Canadian National Rail roundhouse

The list goes on and on. Choose your own personal favourites to include in your Toronto package holiday, and adapt your choices to develop a low-cost holiday plan.

With sharp angled walls that stick out like raw crystals, the Royal Ontario Museum is an architectural wonder. Canada's largest museum holds 13 million pieces of artwork, cultural items, and historical artefacts. Whether you're into meteorites and dinosaurs or pyramids and Egyptian treasures, there's a gallery for you. This museum is well worth adding to your Toronto holiday itinerary.

Another thing to add to your all-inclusive holiday package is a visit to Ripley's Aquarium of Canada. Watch the dive show, and get a good look at the colourful tropical fish of the Rainbow Reef, or visit the Shoreline Gallery and dip your fingers in the water to touch a stingray. Take a stroll along the world's longest underwater viewing tunnel for an amazing surround view of swimming, gliding, and crawling sea creatures.

When you're in the Toronto area, you're too close to miss out on Niagara Falls. Think about reserving a few Niagara activities as part of your flight and hotel deal. Hop on a bus or train and let the driver do the work, or rent a car and take the wheel yourself. Either way, you can get from downtown Toronto to Niagara Falls in less than two hours. If you don't mind getting soaked, you can get up close and personal with the mighty, magnificent Falls on a catamaran cruise. Feeling adventurous? Try a freefall in the indoor skydiving wind tunnel, or take a wild ride in the Whirlpool jet boat.

For a day trip or a weekend getaway from Toronto, Stratford is a popular destination. The city is well known for the productions and performances of the Stratford Festival, and the Chef's School has put Stratford on the culinary map. If arts and eats are on your agenda, consider Stratford as part of your holiday package.

What to eat in Toronto?

A multicultural city should provide multicultural cuisine, and Toronto does not disappoint. Whether you grab a bite on-the-go from a downtown food truck or sit down to a fine meal in a formal setting, Toronto eateries have the power to tickle your taste buds. Stick with your cheap Toronto holiday plan, and pick up a matter paneer roti stuffed with deliciously spicy fillings. Embrace the vegetarian diet with a whole roasted cauliflower topped with creamy tahini, pine nuts, and pomegranate seeds. Spectacular to look at, and scrumptious to eat.

If you want to splurge on eats on your Toronto holiday, you'll find many fine restaurants to choose from. Located on the 54th floor, Canoe delivers unforgettable food and a spectacular view.
