What to Do
Plenty of stuff to do in and around Toronto, if you have the time and inclination.
Toronto prides itself on a "world class" public transportation system, and while it may be one of the largest in terms of size and scope, anyone who's ever ridden the TTC will tell you it does not always live up to wold class standards. Buses serve most of the GTA (the greater Toronto area); the subway only serves three corridors (four if you count Sheppard, which no one does). The upside is downtown is very walkable.
If you plan on taking the TTC for multiple trips over multiple days, you may want to buy a weekly pass which you can purchase from a machine in subway stations. Tokens, which are good for a single one-way ride (transfers included), can only be purchased at the collector booth inside subway stations. Pretty much all subway stations are now equipped with Presto which means people using tokens or paying cash ($3.25, free for kids 12 and under) must deposit their token or pay at the collector booth.
Driving around and through Toronto can be frustrating, as traffic slows to a crawl during rush hour. Also, depending on where you are in the city, parking can be expensive. If you're planning to drive, check out the Green P parking website, which will tell you where you can park and how much it will cost. Green P manages parking lots and street parking, and fees can be paid with coin, credit card, or through the Green P app.
This map lists just some of the things you can do. Attractions are colour-coded by type. Click on the arrow next to Things To Do to find out what the different icons mean.
