A coach (also motor coach, often simply called a bus) is a type of bus used for conveying passengers on excursions and on longer distance intercity bus service between cities—or even between countries. Unlike transit buses designed for shorter journeys, coaches often have a luggage hold that is separate from the passenger cabin and are normally equipped with facilities required for longer trips, including comfortable seats and sometimes a toilet.

Top Customer Reviews

David higgin, did what it said on the tin.

All as promised and well worth the cost. A terrific experience.

Courtney Perry

We had a very wonderful, very knowledgeable tour guide, and it was a great first impression for us for our first time to Toronto. I've done a few hop on hop off bus tours in various other cities, and I really, really enjoyed this one. I can't remember the guides name, but I know he moved to Toronto from the Caribbean. So if anyone gets him as a tour guide, just know he's great! Also, we didn't get to use the Harbour Cruise voucher, but we were informed that that never expires as long as it hasn't been used before. Just an FYI for those who are wondering if they'll have enough time. Just keep your ticket and when you make your way back to Toronto, you can go on that Harbour Cruise!

About Paris

Experience Toronto in Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours

Frequently asked questions, q: what is the best time to book the toronto hop-on hop-off tour.

September to November is the best time to plan a visit to Toronto. It is the fall season with cool weather and the city looks spectacular with autumnal colors all around. You can especially embrace and admire the breathtaking aesthetics by visiting Toronto’s main parks like Toronto Island Park, Trinity Bellwoods, and Evergreen Brick Works, to name a few.

Q: How many days are enough to explore Toronto?

You need at least a week to properly explore Toronto and its key highlights. However, we recommend spending at least 2 to 3 days and booking a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus tour to make the most of the city in less time.

Q: How do hop-on hop-off Toronto bus tours work?

Toronto bus tour offers you the convenience and flexibility to get off at the nearest designated stop. No tour guide, you set your own itinerary. You’ll find all the stops are located strategically at all the major attractions, making your touring as hassle-free as possible. And then, when you’re ready to continue, return to a designated bus stop, show your pass, and hop back on the bus and onwards towards your next attraction. So, go ahead and make a whole loop of the route once you have your tour ticket, get familiar with the city and pick out your favorite places to visit and then return to them during your stay.

Q: What is the validity of the ticket?

There are several ticket options available to you, depending on your length of stay. Each bus tour will have validity from 24, 36, 48 to 72 hours. And the great thing is you can plan ahead as the vouchers are valid anywhere between 6 months to 1 year and can be used at any point during that period. Check the product page or bus tour operator for complete details.

Q: Where can I find a list of all the stops and a map of the various Toronto hop-on hop-off tour routes?

You can visit the relevant product page and check the Useful Downloads section to find the latest information as routes, stops, and timings change frequently.

See the Famous Boldt Castle - A true love story

Millionaire George C. Boldt, proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, set out to build a full-sized, Rhineland-style castle on Heart Island for his beloved wife Louise. Construction began in 1900 on a six story, 120-room castle, complete with tunnels, a powerhouse, Italian gardens and a children’s playhouse.

The Boldt family spent four glorious summers on the island during construction. Then in 1904 tragedy struck. Upon the unexpected death of his wife, George halted all construction. He never returned to the castle, which remained vacant for 73 years. Day Tours available every Saturday.

A view over a city skyline with a body of water to the right. A spire towers above the skyscrapers. The sky is turning a bright orange.

By Ingrid K. Williams Photographs by Eugen Sakhnenko

Locals may insist (politely, of course) that Toronto doesn’t belong atop any traveler’s wish list, but don’t fall for that Canadian modesty. Proudly multicultural with an outstanding art scene, fantastic food and a patchwork of diverse neighborhoods to explore, this sprawling city — Canada’s most populous — has more to offer than one could possibly digest in a single weekend. But that’s enough time to sample the local smorgasbord, from the many new restaurants and shops to the latest art exhibitions and a newly revitalized landmark theater. Anyone in town for Hot Docs , North America’s biggest documentary festival, which begins on April 25, will find plenty of reasons to roam beyond the downtown core, from the beaches in the east to drinking and dining hotspots that have sprouted in some unexpected places in the west.

Recommendations

  • Trillium Park , west of Toronto’s inner harbor, is relatively crowd-free despite having an outstanding view of the downtown skyline.
  • Sunny’s Chinese , a popular restaurant hidden inside a mini-mall in the Kensington Market neighborhood, serves fun plates like Hong Kong-style French toast with black-sesame jam.
  • The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto is currently hosting “Greater Toronto Art 2024,” the second installment of its triennial.
  • Cry Baby Gallery is an art space with a cocktail bar hidden behind a curtain in the back.
  • Massey Hall , a landmark theater, reopened in 2021 after a three-year renovation and modernization project.
  • Evergreen Brick Works is a cultural community center with a popular year-round farmers’ market.
  • The Gardiner Museum is dedicated to the artistry and craft of ceramics.
  • The Philosopher’s Walk winds through the leafy St. George campus of the University of Toronto.
  • The Bata Shoe Museum has an unexpectedly fascinating exhibit exploring the history of what we put on our feet.
  • The Beach (also called the Beaches), on the eastern edge of the city, is a neighborhood abutting Lake Ontario with sandy shorelines and a wood-plank boardwalk.
  • The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is a sprawling gallery surrounded by acres of pristine woodland.
  • Zaal Art Gallery has paintings, sculptures and fashion from contemporary Iranian artists.
  • Patois is a festive restaurant serving Caribbean-Asian dishes like jerk chicken chow mein.
  • Bad Attitude Bread is a plant-based bakery with specialties like vegan Cheddar biscuits with Old Bay seasoning.
  • Milky’s , a cool cafe, brews up specialty drinks like a spiced maple syrup latte.
  • Taverne Bernhardt’s is a cozy neighborhood bistro featuring local produce and rotisserie-style chicken.
  • Bowie , a vibey bar beneath a laundromat, offers great people-watching behind an unmarked entrance.
  • Bathurst Local is a laid-back bar with a maze of private karaoke rooms.
  • White Lily Diner is an all-day restaurant serving comfort food, with produce supplied by its own Ontario farm.
  • Easy Tiger Goods is a sunny boutique that sells cute made-in-Toronto ceramics.
  • Issues Magazine Shop stocks rare print titles.
  • Etc Home , a home décor shop, sells hand-crocheted coasters, embroidered tote bags and more.
  • A solid option downtown, the Ace Hotel opened in 2022 in a newly constructed building designed by the Toronto firm Shim-Sutcliffe Architects. Beyond the lobby framed by soaring concrete arches, the hotel features 123 cozy guest rooms as well as a restaurant and a rooftop lounge. Rooms start at around 499 Canadian dollars, or around $367.
  • In the trendy West Queen West area, the Drake Hotel is a longtime favorite for its cultural events, concerts and art-filled interiors. With the addition of a new five-story wing, which opened in 2021, the property now has 51 rooms in addition to a popular lounge, cafe and rooftop terrace. Rooms start at around 360 dollars.
  • On vibrant Dundas Street West in Little Portugal is the family-run Ode , which opened in 2021 with eight private guest rooms, each designed in collaboration with a different local artist. Rooms start at 260 dollars.
  • Look for a short-term rental in the Trinity-Bellwoods neighborhood, which is surrounded by great restaurants, shops, bars, bakeries, breweries and the popular Trinity Bellwoods Park .
  • It's easy to get around Toronto by public transportation — there are subways , buses and streetcars — and on foot . You can also find taxis and use ride-hailing apps , including Lyft and Uber, and there are bike-share stations throughout the city (a day pass is 15 dollars). From Toronto Pearson International Airport, the UP Express train takes 25 minutes to arrive at Union Station downtown. Even closer is Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, a regional hub on the Toronto Islands that is connected to downtown by ferry and a pedestrian tunnel.

A person sits on a low rocky shelf on a pebbly shore. The person is surrounded by mostly bare trees and they are looking out onto calm water.

Trillium Park

Trillium Park , which opened in 2017 just west of Toronto’s inner harbor, remains relatively uncrowded despite having an outstanding view of the skyline. From Queens Quay West, it’s an easy half-hour walk to the park along the popular Martin Goodman Trail. Or rent a bicycle from one of the many bike-share stations and pedal along the lakeshore. After admiring the view of the iconic CN Tower across the water, head back toward downtown, stopping at nearby Inukshuk Park , with its 30-foot-high Inuit stone formation, and at the Toronto Music Garden, a grassy waterfront park where live performances take place during the summer.

Down the hallway of a nondescript mini-mall, a small handwritten sign on a door indicates you’ve found Sunny’s Chinese . Since opening in the eclectic Kensington Market neighborhood in 2022, this buzzy spot has packed its mint green booths with crowds hankering for a spicy, family-style feast. On a recent visit, highlights included the spinach-and-chrysanthemum-stem salad (12 Canadian dollars, or about $9), fiery dan dan noodles (19 dollars), and what a server said “pays our rent”: the sublime Hong Kong-style French toast layered with black-sesame jam and oolong-infused condensed milk (14 dollars). Couldn’t nab a reservation? Try for a last-minute table at nearby Patois , a festive Caribbean-Asian restaurant with flaky Jamaican patties (12 dollars) and jerk chicken chow mein (27 dollars).

Audience members are seated in the red chairs of a grand-looking theater.

Massey Hall

In 2021, Torontonians applauded the reopening of Massey Hall , a landmark theater, after a three-year renovation and modernization project. For over a century, this downtown concert hall has hosted top international performers, including Charlie Parker, Aretha Franklin, Gordon Lightfoot and Jon Batiste. The revitalized theater is now part of a larger performing arts complex, the Allied Music Centre , with a new music venue and recording studios in an adjacent building. But one thing that hasn’t changed: the famously excellent acoustics. To hear for yourself, check the calendar for upcoming events, which include concerts by the Black Crowes, the indie-rock group Waxahatchee and the Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn.

People sit on the lawn of a park during the daytime. The sky is clear and blue. The trees in the park are bare, and a skyline is visible in the distance.

Saturday farmers’ market at Evergreen Brick Works

A former quarry and brick factory have been repurposed as Evergreen Brick Works , a cultural community center northeast of downtown. People flock here on Saturdays for the year-round farmers’ market, which reflects the diversity of the city itself. In addition to the usual market stalls — local cheeses, produce, fish, meat and bread — many vendors sell prepared foods that include Persian baklava , Swedish pastries and Tibetan momos (try the beef ones doused with hot sauce; 11.50 dollars for five). Seating is available between the historic brick kilns, but in fair weather, grab your food to go and explore the trails snaking through the surrounding forested ravines.

Many visitors prioritize the best-known museums, but that would mean missing niche standouts like the Gardiner Museum , which specializes in the artistry and craft of ceramics. Inside, explore ancient figures from Mesoamerican cultures and contemporary sculptural vases depicting polar animals by the Inuit ceramicist Roger Aksadjuak (admission, 15 dollars). Afterward, stroll along the Philosopher’s Walk, a nearby path through the leafy St. George campus of the University of Toronto. Then continue to the Bata Shoe Museum , another oft-overlooked institution, where an unexpectedly fascinating, two-floor exhibit traces the history of what we put on our feet (admission, 14 dollars).

A table displays stacks of magazines. One cover has a picture of a crying baby and has the title "Feels."

Issues Magazine Shop

Little Portugal is packed with quirky independent shops and galleries, many conveniently clustered along Dundas Street West. Start at Easy Tiger Goods , a sunny boutique that sells pastel taper candles and cute made-in-Toronto ceramics. Peruse the rare print titles at Issues Magazine Shop , then shop for hand-crocheted coasters and embroidered tote bags at Etc Home . Consider investing in an artwork at Zaal Art Gallery , a cavernous space that opened last October showcasing paintings, photographs, sculptures and fashion from contemporary Iranian artists. Later, continue farther down the street to Bad Attitude Bread , a vegan bakery, for an Old Bay-seasoned Cheddar-flavored biscuit (5 dollars), and to Milky’s , a cool cafe nearby, for a spiced maple syrup latte (6.50 dollars).

An excellent primer on what’s happening in the city’s art scene is now on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto , in a former factory building in the Lower Junction Triangle neighborhood. The current exhibition, “Greater Toronto Art 2024,” is the second installment of the museum’s triennial and features a range of artworks, performances and installations, including photographs by the American-born artist June Clark of her adopted home of Toronto in the 1970s and ’80s; a site-specific greenhouse installed by the Brooklyn-based Canadian artist Lotus L. Kang; and a series of sculptural drawings, traced from an heirloom Persian rug, from the Iraqi-born Canadian artist Sukaina Kubba (through July 28; admission, 14 dollars).

A tall soft-serve ice cream with sauce and candy, served in a glass dish on a small plate.

Roast chicken and local produce are the winning formula at Taverne Bernhardt’s , a cozy neighborhood bistro on a quiet lane south of Dundas Street West, where date-night couples sip wine at the pewter-topped bar and groups of friends encircle tables along a soft leather banquette. The short seasonal menu recently included tender roasted carrots with herbs and tahini (20 dollars), in addition to the crisp-skinned, rotisserie-style chicken served on a platter with thick-cut fries, coleslaw and pickles, toasted sesame-seed buns, and a side of gravy (37 dollars). And for dessert, there’s a heaping swirl of soft serve in changing flavors, like Earl Grey (14 dollars).

Exploring Toronto’s nightlife could mean ice bathing at Othership , a sociable sauna downtown, or sipping a white stout at Blood Brothers Brewing in the revitalized northwestern warehouse district. But you needn’t venture that far after dinner to find appealing options, if you know where to look. It’s a short walk from Bernhardt’s to Cry Baby Gallery , a white-walled art space where a curtain in the back hides a moody cocktail bar serving spicy mezcal margaritas (the best is the passion-fruit version, 20 dollars). Even closer is Bowie , a vibey, mirrored lounge that opened last year beneath a laundromat. It offers great people-watching and pink Paloma cocktails (16 dollars), and is accessible via an unmarked entrance (down the alley, below the neon bow-tied mouse sign). Later, visit Bathurst Local , where a laid-back bar leads to a maze of private karaoke rooms, each more colorful than the last.

People strolling in the trendy West Queen West area.

A person walks a dog along a boardwalk that follows a shoreline. It is a sunny day and there is a large tree in the foreground that is bare of leaves.

The ocean may be hundreds of miles away, but you can still start the day with a walk on the beach. On the east side of the city, an easy streetcar ride from downtown, the neighborhood abutting Lake Ontario is known as the Beaches (or the Beach, depending on whom you ask ) because of its long, sandy shoreline. Head down to the water to join locals walking their dogs through the sand. From the easternmost edge, it’s a leisurely half-hour promenade along the wood-plank boardwalk to Woodbine Beach, the widest stretch of sand lapped by the lake’s calm waves.

When hunger strikes, hop back on the streetcar headed west to the White Lily Diner , an all-day restaurant in the Riverside neighborhood serving its own brand of comfort food. One must-order is the cheesy patty melt, served with poblano relish on house-made bread (23.25 dollars), which comes with a side salad of crisp greens from the restaurant’s own White Lily Farms , northeast of the city. This snug locale has only five counter seats and seven Dijon yellow booths, so there’s often a wait. But I’d happily queue for even a single bite of the fluffy buttermilk griddle cakes with maple syrup (16.25 dollars).

People admire a large painted canvas on display in a low lit gallery. In the foreground, a neat bundle of sticks are on display.

McMichael Canadian Art Collection

Yes, it’s a trek to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection , a sprawling gallery surrounded by acres of pristine woodland, about 17 miles northwest of downtown. But there’s no prettier place to become acquainted with some of Canada’s most influential artists: Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, a collective of landscape painters who rose to fame in the early 20th century with their romantic depictions of Canadian nature. Admire the rural landscape paintings, including glacial mountains by Lawren Harris and placid lakes by A.J. Casson. Then visit galleries dedicated to contemporary Canadian works, including those by Inuit and First Nations artists, such as the brilliantly colorful paintings of Norval Morrisseau . Not keen on splurging for a car ride? There’s an equally edifying collection of Canadian art — minus the sylvan setting — at the Art Gallery of Ontario downtown (admission to the McMichael, 20 dollars; to the AGO, 30 dollars). (The AGO is temporarily closed because of a workers’ strike.)

A new discount bus route from Toronto will help you explore Ontario

Latest Videos

Discount bus company FlixBus has expanded with a new route from Toronto to help residents better explore Ontario without breaking the bank.

Leading up to the province's prime hiking, camping and outdoor exploration months, the brand has just launched service between downtown T.O. and Sudbury, connecting the province's biggest city with its northeast (and everywhere in between).

Buses run twice per day, every day except for Tuesdays, starting at Union Station with stops at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Parry Sound, Port Severn, Waubaushene and two points in Sudbury.

The departure times from Toronto are at 8:30 a.m. (from Union) and 9:05 a.m. (from Pearson), and from Sudbury, at 2.30 p.m. (from the Ontario Northland Terminal) and 2:50 p.m. (from the Four Corners). Tickets for the four-to-five-hour trip run from $49 to $59 one-way.

New discount bus routes will let you explore Ontario for less than the average bar tab https://t.co/DZ5qWTv6H1 #Ontario — blogTO (@blogTO) August 2, 2022

For those coming to the big city from up north, FlixBus offers a ton of connections to places like Niagara Falls , the U.S., Alberta, B.C., Quebec and all across Ontario , with service to and from cities like London, Kitchener, Hamilton, Peterborough, Oshawa, Kingston, Ottawa, Windsor, St. Catharines and Mississauga.

Though it only recently arrived in Canada in 2022 , the low-cost travel line was founded in Germany in 2011 and has long been huge in and around Europe.

It now boasts more than 400,000 routes across 43 countries including Canada, the U.S., India, all over the EU, and more. Last year , it integrated its Flix North America arm with Greyhound, which it acquired in 2018.

Social Sharing

There's a new option to travel between northern and southern Ontario.

FlixBus has announced it is expanding its service to Sudbury. The company said the new route will offer bus service between Union Station in Toronto and the Ontario Northland Terminal in Sudbury with several stops in between.

"We are very pleased to add Sudbury to the growing list of cities and towns in Ontario that FlixBus serves," Richard Szeri, senior manager of network planning for FlixBus said.

"Customers in and around Sudbury can not enjoy convenient access to Toronto, including Pearson International, and transfers to Niagara Falls and the USA. We aim for FlixBus to become synonymous with bus travel in Canada."

  • Giant German bus company hits the highway in Canada
  • Is the bus back? Why these companies are betting Ontarians will travel this way in 2023

The company first started operating in Canada in 2022, focusing its service in southern Ontario.

Jonas Pearce, the government affairs and strategic partnerships associate with FlixBus, said offering more options for people to connect to southern Ontario from Sudbury is important to the company.

"A lot of people in the north travel to Toronto to take a plane for vacation … to go see a play or sports event or even just business meetings or medical," he said.

"This is really going to help them because it's been an under serviced market lately since Greyhound left."

'Getting people to their destination on time'

Greyhound Canada announced in 2021 it was shutting down all bus service permanently. Earlier this year, Flix North America Inc. , the Dallas-based entity overseeing operations for both Greyhound and FlixBus in North America, announced the "co-integration of both brands' booking platform, enabling a shared, extended intercity bus network."

Between Toronto and Sudbury, several stops will be made along the way, including Parry Sound, Port Severn and Waubaushene.

Pearce said the stops will be short for commuters.

"We really pride ourselves here of getting people to their destination on time," he said.

"To make that happen, we don't stop too long. It will just drop people off or pick people up from those areas so they can connect to Toronto or Sudbury as well."

The service launched this week.

Discount Bus Service’s New Route Opens Up More of Ontario for Intercity Travel

Three years after Greyhound stopped providing bus service in Canada, discount bus company FlixBus is expanding its Ontario routes to include daily runs from Toronto to Sudbury, with stops in between.

The new route connects Union Station in Toronto to the Ontario Northland Terminal in Sudbury. Buses will run daily, except Tuesdays, and will also stop at Pearson International Airport, Parry Sound, Port Severn, Waubaushene, and Sudbury’s Four Corners, according to an April 4 news release.

A one-way trip from Toronto to Sudbury costs $35.99, although passengers can on extras for a fee. Seat selection is $4.99, and $26.99 lets you “Travel neighbor-free” with no one in the next seat. Fares include a carry-on bag and one stowed bag, while extra luggage will cost more. There is also a $3.99 service fee on top of the ticket price. Payment options include credit card, cash, Google Pay, and Paypal.

“Our goal is for FlixBus to become synonymous with bus travel in Canada,” said Richard Szeri, senior manager of network planning for FlixBus.

“Customers in and around Sudbury can now enjoy convenient access to Toronto, including Pearson International, and transfers to Niagara Falls and the USA.”

In Ontario, FlixBus now has routes to over 20 destinations, including Ottawa, London, Niagara Falls, Hamilton, Kingston, Barrie, Kitchener, London, Mississauga, St. Catharines, and Windsor.

5 Tips for Traveling the World by Yourself

FlixBus’ connection with Greyhound means that passengers can travel back and forth to the U.S. on either brand’s buses, which opens up 2,300 destinations.
