Best time to visit Toronto

Summer is the peak season to visit Toronto. If you visit the city in summer the sidewalks come alive with pedestrian marketplaces, patio restaurants, and cultural events. However, as temperatures rise, so do prices. If you want to save money on accommodation, rates are much lower throughout winter. Fall and spring are popular times to visit the area when the temperatures are milder and the crowds are not as heavy.

Toronto hosts events year-round. If you are visiting the city toward the end of March you may catch the Toronto Jazz Festival, which brings music to the streets downtown. Fashion Week also kicks off at the end of March, showcasing all the latest styles. For movie fans, the Toronto International Film Festival takes place in late September.
