Travel
By rail, road, or air there are myriad paths leading to Toronto. If you're trying to figure out what's best for you, then check out Toronto Tourism's page on getting here - you'll find lots of other useful information about the city there as well. Travelocity's Guide to Toronto will also provide tons of useful information - not just on how to get here, but on what to do once you've arrived.
Via Rail is the primary passenger rail carrier within Canada. If planning to travel from the United States via rail you'll need to book with Amtrak.
All Canadian, American and international air carriers, including Canada's national airline Air Canada, fly through Toronto's Pearson Interntional Airport. Check their web site for schedules, and links to various airlines.
