Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
for accommodation do not book hotel, renting apartment via airbnb highly suggested. Also for ticket I suggestion online booking couple of months in advance. For accommodation I did a lot of search and found that the apartment t is the best choice as the hotel is very expensive in Toronto. However I highly suggest to not carrying too much cash as there is some limitation based on Canada regulation. When you arrive to Toronto try to have a visit from downtown as there are many shopping center and also high rise building. |
