Toronto Prices & Travel Costs

Last Updated: Jan 2024

Underrated by international standards, Toronto might be North America’s best functioning large city. While it isn’t as historic as Montreal or Quebec City, Toronto more than makes up for it with wonderful ethnic neighborhoods and a clean downtown entertainment center. This city is also a relative bargain to larger US cities, which makes it even nicer.

Is Toronto Expensive or Cheap?

Toronto is one of the world’s great cities and should be on everyone’s list if you can make it. Prices in Toronto are generally in line with large American cities like New York City and Los Angeles.
