Getting Around Toronro

Public transport is a great way to see the city. Affordable and reliable, the city can be accessed via the city's underground network: four of main lines connect the city centre to major tourist attractions as well as numerous bus and train stations. Weekly passes are available.On weekdays and Saturdays, trains run every few minutes from about 6 a.m. until 1:30 a.m. On Sundays, they run from about 8 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.If you prefer getting around by taxi, it's easy to flag one down on the street.


Banks

Banks are open from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 18:00 and Saturdays open from 09:00 to 16:00. You will find automated teller machines mostly everywhere.


Car Rentals

Cars can be rented in Toronro from local or international companies.All cars are left-hand drive.


Climate & Clothing

August in Toronro is generally pleasant with daytime temperatures ranging between 18° and 26°. We recommend bringing a range of clothing and dressing in layers. It can be warm in the daytime and chilly in the evenings. Also bring a light jacket to the Palais des congrès as it may feel cold due to air conditioning.


Currency

The Canadian dollar is the national currency. Automatic teller machines and exchange offices are readily available. Most hotels, restaurants and shops accept major credit cards.


Electricity

Electrical outlets in Canada provide the same current as in the United States that is 110 volts (60 cycles). If you are traveling from Europe or elsewhere, you will need an adapter to use small appliances designed for a different standard (220/240 V).


Health Insurance & Hospitals

Canadian hospitals and medical services are excellent. The vast majority of hospitals are publicly managed and rates are set by provincial and hospital authorities. Hospital care for non-residents of Canada is charged at a daily rate or on the basis of the medical condition and length of stay. Charges vary from province to province and from hospital to hospital, but generally range from CAD 1,000 to CAD 2,000 a day. It is therefore important to obtain travel health insurance before leaving home, since it is possible your regular health insurance does not include coverage outside your country of residence.
