Flights from Quebec City (YQB) and Montreal (YUL) to Toronto, Canada

Here is what to know before booking a flight to Toronto from Quebec City and Montreal.

From Montreal, fares to Toronto usually run between $360 and $670. The best fare spotted recently is $290 (about 44% below the typical price).

Toronto is Canada's largest city, a wonderfully diverse metropolis on the shore of Lake Ontario. Billy Bishop airport (YTZ) sits right on the Toronto Islands, giving arrivals a quick, scenic walk or ferry into the downtown core. Step off the plane and you're moments from the waterfront, ready to explore!

When to go

Late spring through early autumn offers warm weather, buzzing patios, and waterfront events. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are cold with lake-effect wind off Lake Ontario.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

From eastern Canada, Billy Bishop (YTZ) is served largely by Porter Airlines, so you may fly nonstop from a Porter city or connect through Montreal depending on your departure city. A short pedestrian tunnel or ferry links the island terminal to the mainland in minutes.

What to see and do

  • Going up the CN Tower
  • Exploring the St. Lawrence Market
  • Wandering Kensington Market and Chinatown
  • Relaxing on the Toronto Islands

Good to know before you go

The currency is the Canadian dollar and English is the main language, though dozens are spoken across the city. Public transit is excellent: the TTC subway, streetcars, and buses reach everywhere, and a single fare with free transfers gets you across town, so a car is more hassle than help; Uber is easy whenever you'd rather ride door-to-door. Driving means heavy traffic and expensive parking downtown, so leave it behind. The city is safe and easy to navigate.

Entry requirements and health

No visa needed

Good news: with a Canadian passport you can just show up for a short tourist stay, no visa needed. Keep an eye on how long you're allowed to stay so your trip fits.

General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
