I've got a 5 day YYZ in May and was wondering if anyone knows of any good places to goto. I am staying in the Airport hotel which is about 40 mins away from town centre.

Any info appreciated.

Eaton Center downtown of course :D, but also the Niagara falls at 1h30 of drive and the beautiful Algonquin Park (if you intend to hire a car). If you just want to stay in YYZ, there are very nice restaurants, bars, theatres.

Try, in no particular order:
CN Tower (on a clear day!) worth it for the view.
Niagara Falls.
The Sky Dome.
Take a look around Chinatown and see some of the weirdest foods you've ever seen!
If your feeling intellectual try the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM).
If it's sunny, visit a neighbourhood called the Beaches.
The Harbourfront
Toronto Islands (city park on islands in Lake Ontario, great views of the city).
Take a walk along Queen Street West - lots of funky shops and bars and stuff - and check out my old apartment at 759 Queen Street West, it's the one with the pink roof!!!!!:eek:

Hope that helps, it should fill, a day or two anyway!

Start your day with a nice breakfast at Mövenpick. Enjoy!

May be heading that way myself.

Anyone know which weekend the Grand Prix is on?

I'm not sure what bus number it is but the hotel staff will know.
There is a frequent, every 15 min or so, TTC bus from all three airport terminals to downtown. Lots of our F/A's use it.

Downtown there are lots of great bars, restaurants and things to see. the harbourfront should be a grat place to sit outside with a beer and relax. If you want to excercise head on down there for a run, you can also rent rollerbaldes.

You should have fun.

Hi,

Human Factor: I think the Canadian Grand Prix (Montreal) is on the weekend of the 8/9 June.

Try the BrassRail on Yonge Street. A most entertaining Venue I found!
