💰 How far does your money go?
Toronto is not a cheap city, so the flight is where you save. A pint in a neighbourhood pub costs around C$10 (€6), more than double an imperial on a Lisbon esplanada. A latte runs to about C$6.50 (€4), so your morning bica habit gets an upgrade in price. The good news: a TTC ride on subway, streetcar or bus is C$3.35 (€2) with PRESTO, and a supermarket beer is C$3.29.
☀️ The Weather
January and February are the heart of Toronto's winter. Daytime highs sit around -1°C, nights drop to -8°C, and snow is common. Wind off the lake makes it feel colder. Pack layers, then spend half the day underground in PATH, the 30 km network of tunnels linking downtown.

🎯 What to Do
Toronto does winter properly, and it does it indoors and out.
A Maple Leafs game: Hockey is a religion here. Even a cheap seat at Scotiabank Arena is an experience.
Skating at Nathan Phillips Square: A free outdoor rink in front of City Hall, lit up every evening. Skate hire costs a few dollars.
St Lawrence Market: Peameal bacon sandwiches, Ontario cheese and butter tarts in a 19th-century market hall.
Winter at the Toronto Islands: A 15-minute ferry ride for frozen beaches, empty paths and the best skyline view in the city.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Toronto is the easiest gateway to Ontario and eastern Canada.
Niagara Falls: The falls partly freeze in deep winter, and they are about 1h30 away by GO Train or bus.
Montreal: French-speaking, bagel-obsessed and wonderful in the snow, about 5 hours by VIA Rail or 1h15 by air. Search flights
Ottawa: The Rideau Canal becomes a 7.8 km skating rink in winter, around 4h30 by train or 1 hour by air. Search flights
