Imagine yourself in a small cafe, sipping coffee with customers cheering in Portuguese while a Brazilian soccer match is playing on the tv. A few blocks away you stop by an Italian butcher shop for some prosciutto. As you walk you see more unique shops and listen to people speaking more than 20 different languages, from French to Hebrew. Outside your hotel at night, green and red lights flash across the streets, announcing the latest theater shows and shows.
Many people might think this is a description of London, Paris or New York, but they’re all part of the vibrant magic of probably the most multicultural cities in the world: Toronto.
Why Toronto?
Anyone who has spent time in Toronto can provide you with a list of reasons why you should visit. From high-end boutiques to international designers, the city’s world-class shopping is matched only by the variety of cuisines found in its many fine dining restaurants.
Then there’s the variety of cities. A visitor can walk through Toronto and feel as if they’ve traveled to a dozen different countries.
With Air Canada rapidly expanding its services, currently offering more than 200 destinations worldwide and daily service from more than 50 US cities, Toronto is a top vacation destination and a major hub for international travel.
The main reason for this is that travelers transiting through Toronto Pearson International Airport don’t have to undergo Canadian customs en route to their final destination. Additionally, travelers can take a shortcut and undergo US Customs and Immigration while in Canada. This advantage allows them to avoid long lines when arriving in the US

Anyone who has ever been on a business trip knows that there’s not at all times time to take advantage of relaxation time while traveling. However, more than ever before, business professionals recognize the importance of mixing business with pleasure, something that’s referred to as “the fun ride.”
In this spirit, Air Canada’s exclusive Toronto Stopover program gives US travelers flying through Toronto the opportunity to spend up to a week exploring the city before traveling to their final destination, at no additional cost.
Combine this with smooth travel and timely connections with airports all over the world, and you have a simple way to explore one of the world’s most diversified cities.
Now, even if work prevents you from fully enjoying business travel, you can spend a few days in Toronto eating, shopping, and exploring neighborhoods like Greektown or Koreatown, all on your way home.
