Toronto World Cup Travel Guide

Plan Toronto matchdays with guidance on Exhibition Place, downtown hotels, TTC transit, Pearson airport transfers, restaurants, attractions and visitor safety.

Why Toronto works for international fans

Toronto is Canada’s largest city and one of the country’s biggest travel hubs. Fans can combine matches with food, nightlife, waterfront attractions, museums and day trips. Toronto Stadium at Exhibition Place is close to Liberty Village, Fort York, King West and the waterfront.

Best areas to stay

Downtown Core

Best for first-time visitors who want restaurants, transit access and attractions.

King West / Queen West

Best for nightlife, food and access to the stadium area.

Waterfront

Best for lake views, walking and family-friendly attractions.

Airport Area

Better for flight convenience; use UP Express or taxi/rideshare to downtown.

Airport and transit

Toronto Pearson connects to downtown via UP Express, taxis, rideshare and public transit. On matchdays, plan extra time because stadium-area traffic and transit crowds can be heavy.
