Toronto Airport

Toronto is served by two airports: The smaller Toronto City Centre Airport which is used by regional and charter airlines and Pearson International Airport. Pearson International airport is situated 16 miles from Toronto city centre and is by far the busiest airport in Canada, last year welcoming over 28.6 million passengers. The airport has three terminals which are currently undergoing a complete refurbishment.

If you require assistance then there are information centres, directory boards and information phones located at central points throughout the terminal. Multi-lingual Passenger Information Representatives (PIRs), identifiable in blue uniforms, can provide information on all airport services and facilities. Pearson International Airport offers over 11,000 public parking spaces and these can be found at the three terminals. There are good public transport links with Toronto city centre.

Toronto City

The economic and cultural focus of English-speaking Canada, Toronto is the country's largest city. Lying along the northern shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto has become one of North America's most likeable cities. Toronto caters to everything, and the city surges with Canada's most vibrant restaurant, performing-arts and nightlife scenes. Its summer festivals, the spicy corners of its markets, the beachfront boardwalks and the music pouring out of its neighbourhood eateries seduce you. This is also Canada's business capital, a clean, safe and vibrant metropolis.
