Canada’s largest city is as diverse, accessible and cosmopolitan as you’ve heard.
From culinary adventures to raucous sports matches and exciting cultural events, Toronto pleases visitors to Canada year-round. And whatever time of year you decide to visit, there’s sure to be something going on here.
The lakeside city has a reputation for frigid winters and steamy summers – but don’t let extreme temperature ruin your expectations of this beautiful place. Here’s all you need to know about the best times to visit Toronto.
The fall shoulder season (September–November) is best for taking in spectacular colors
With pleasant weather, rich autumn colors and fewer crowds at major sites, we think fall is the best time to visit Toronto.
First, those trees: the justly world-famous fall colors of Ontario simply dazzle. Only an hour from central Toronto, nature lovers, hikers and photographers can experience the beauty of autumn on the Bruce Trail. For those who wish to drive even further afield, Algonquin Park draws nature-loving tourists every fall.
The weather during the fall ranges from cool to cold (45℉/7℃ to 36℉/2℃), with rare warmer days. Depending on where you go, crowds are generally manageable and not too busy. Yet if you’re visiting a destination known for its foliage, be prepared for more crowd density. Some bargains are possible, but prices remain high given demand from leaf peepers.
The high season (June–September) is ideal for outdoor activities
Summer in Toronto is simply divine. Through the end of May and into September, the city bustles with activities for the intrepid traveler. Warm weather and sunshine make for perfect walks through the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, while Toronto’s lovely beaches also beckon. For the health- and fitness-minded, walking through the city’s fabled green spaces, such as High Park or the Scarborough Bluffs, is a memorable activity. (Wherever you wish to travel in town, getting around is easy: Toronto is built on a grid, so both drivers and pedestrians find their destinations with ease.)
Summer weather ranges from pleasant to hot (you’ll find highs of 76℉/25℃ and lows around 65℉/18℃). Bring summer attire but be prepared for cooler days and evenings…
