There are over 70 airlines serving Toronto Pearson International Airport and air carriers provide non-stop service to numerous destinations in Canada, the United States and the world.

If you are flying from domestic locations in Eastern Canada, or from major US cities in the North East, you may also look to fly into Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ). The airport is located on Toronto Island, just a short 10-minute ferry ride or 10-minute walk in the underwater tunnel to downtown Toronto. Porter Airlines and Air Canada are the only airlines who cater to this airport.

VIA Rail and AMTRAK bring visitors into the heart of the city each day to Toronto’s Union Station from domestic and nearby US cities.

Several highways, including the 404/Don Valley Parkway, 401, and Queen Elizabeth Way link surrounding cities to Toronto. For those driving from the south, the nearest Canada-U.S. border crossings are at Niagara Falls, Fort Erie and Windsor.
