A car can help with regional trips or outer attractions, but it often creates more cost and delay for a downtown visit.
Downtown driving realities
Construction, one-way streets, event closures, streetcars and delivery traffic can make short distances slow. Do not plan a tight attraction reservation immediately after a highway arrival.
Parking
Compare hotel parking, municipal Green P facilities and private lots. Read entrance hours, height limits, in-and-out rules and event pricing before committing.
Streetcars
Drivers must understand when to stop behind a streetcar for boarding passengers. Review Ontario rules before driving on streetcar routes.
When to leave the car parked
For central sightseeing, park once and use walking or transit. Repeatedly moving the car between downtown attractions usually wastes time.
