I’m really excited to interview Brandon Miller of Second Passport about Toronto, Canada. Brandon’s tips for the best things to do in Toronto are awesome because while he traveled the world for 15 years, his heart was always in Toronto. He knew that when he wanted to settle down, he would return home to raise his family.

Getting around Toronto

The local airport is Toronto Pearson International Airport, which is about a ten-minute drive to the city.

Brandon says that, if you’re staying downtown, there’s no need to rent a car. For the best offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.

Uber and Lyft are excellent ways to get around. You can also check out their Go Transit for other transportation options.
