Hi all,
I have an 8 hour layover in Toronto during the day, and I don’t think I can cope with sitting in a PP lounge for that long. I’m planning to head into the city for a few hours.
Does anyone have any advice, or suggestions of things to see and do in that brief time? Bonus points for any Platinum dining credit restaurants you can recommend, ideally that are close to Union Station, as Toronto is the only place I will be visiting in the second half of next year with restaurants on the list (there are none in Panama and Costa Rica, where I’ll be spending my summer holidays).
TIA!
Thanks for this @kaconym, I suspect I might end up visiting a large number of these (as many as I can, while safely getting back to the airport in plenty of time!). That’s great!
@Cat I second visiting Casa Loma (it has featured in quite a lot of Hollywood movies) and going up the CN Tower. They are not close to each other though. Or just go for a walk around the harbour area or take a ferry to Centre Island for a bit of nature and skyline views back across Lake Ontario. Or a left-field idea – if you fancy it you could rent a car at Pearson Airport and drive to Niagara Falls – it will take 1.5 hours to get there and the same time back.
@Cat For Amex Dining credit, wherever you end up, please don’t try Canoe. They are truly the definition of overprice. Trying something else in the list!
I also agreed with @AJA that you could do the Centre Island (we enjoyed it very much back in September) and CN Tower. Try to avoid Uber / Lyft as well as traffic can be quite bad in / out.
However, Niagara Falls is a bit of a stretch in my opinion and you will end up spending lots of time in the car. Enjoy!
