Spring, from April to May, is a time of renewal. Toronto flight prices start to stabilize after winter and the city comes to life. Visit High Park to see the beautiful cherry blossoms or take a walk along the Waterfront. The weather can be changeable, so the layering principle is best when packing. This is a perfect time for trips to Toronto if you want to avoid the large summer tourist crowds but still be able to walk outdoors.

Autumn, from September to November, is considered by many to be the best time for a trip to Toronto. The trees in parks and ravines change into fantastic colors and the air is crisp and pleasant. In September, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is held, attracting stars from all over the world. Toronto flight prices tend to drop after August, making it an economical time to travel. It is ideal weather for exploring neighborhoods like Kensington Market on foot. You can often find good deals on direct flights to Toronto during October. It is also an excellent time for day trips to Niagara Falls, as the surrounding vineyards have harvest time and the landscape is at its most beautiful.

Swedish citizens do not need a traditional visa for short tourist trips to Canada, but it is mandatory to apply for an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before departure. This is easily done online and costs a small fee. Ensure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay. Compared to Sweden, border control in Canada is often more detailed, so be prepared for questions about your itinerary and accommodation. It is wise to print your eTA confirmation even if it is electronically linked to your passport. Always check the latest rules well in advance of your planned trip to Toronto for tips to avoid problems at airport check-in.

Toronto has an extensive public transport system called the TTC, consisting of subways, streetcars, and buses. It is much more widespread than in most Swedish cities except Stockholm. A Presto card is the easiest way to pay for travel, similar to the SL card. The city is also very walkable in the central parts, but distances can be surprisingly large. For longer distances within the province of Ontario, there is GO Transit. If you plan to explore areas outside the city center, such as Niagara Falls, a rental car may be an option, but keep in mind that traffic in Toronto can be much heavier than what we are used to in Gothenburg or Malmö. Bike sharing is also a popular option during the warmer months.

Canadians are known for their politeness, and Toronto is no exception. A major difference from Sweden is the tipping culture. In Canada, you are expected to tip at restaurants, bars, and in taxis, usually between 15 and 20 percent of the total amount before tax. Not tipping is considered very impolite. Prices shown in shops usually do not include sales tax (HST), so expect the final price at the checkout to be higher than what is on the price tag. In social situations, small talk is common, which can feel more intense than the reserved Swedish style. Toronto is an extremely multicultural city, so show respect for the great diversity of cultures and languages you encounter.

To experience the real Toronto, you should leave the most touristy areas around the CN Tower. Visit neighborhoods like Kensington Market for fantastic street food and vintage shops, or the Distillery District for historic architecture and local galleries. A tip from TICKETS.SE to get the best photos and a break from the city's pace is to take the ferry over to the Toronto Islands. From there, you get the absolute best view of the city skyline, especially at sunset. It is a perfect place for picnics and relaxation. If you visit the city during winter, don't miss the PATH, the world's largest underground shopping mall, which allows you to walk miles underground without having to face the cold, which is a unique experience.
