Toronto - Go to a club/bars/CN TOWER/ROGER'S CENTRE

or better yet go to Niagara Falls for a night or two, hotels are really cheap you can get one for $40 and that's like 3 star quality. look up expedia.ca, Michaels Inn, Holiday Inn and The Imperial are all several hotels going for $40-60 a night. If you got a bit of extra money stay at The Brock or Courtyard Marriot or if you're made of cash go to the Renaissance or Marriort, both have sky walk right into Fallsview Casino. Every night they put on fire works and have all sorts of cool things to do and it's not like Toronto where you have back alley ghettos or over expensive bars. Toronto's highlights can be done in half a day, go up the CN Tower, go to the Roger's Center and possibly check out the Hockey Hall of Fame, other than that it's an overrated city. I'd stay the day in Toronto for a day then take the Via rail to Niagara Falls and spend a few days there then go back to Toronto and either fly out or catch a bus, it costs on average $50 to get to Montreal, and if you leave at midnight no need for hotel, sleep on the bus.

take a cheap flight to montreal, last minute flights are going for $100-150 or just do what I do and bus it, I always catch the 12 o'clock bus to Montreal and end up saving a hundred dollars on either a flight or hotel.

Montreal - Check out Montreal, a lot more fun than Toronto and the Casino is sick. Montreal has a lot of culture and amazingly awesome things to do. Old Montreal is great, it's probably one of the most cultured places in Canada.

Peel Pub - Located in downtown Montreal on Peel St, going down St. Catherines can easily get you there. They sell pitchers of local beer for $6.00 (disgusting beer I can't pronounce) and decent beer for $9.00 (Moosehead, Keith's, etc). You'll spend about $15 -20 for a pitcher in Toronto. The food is cheap and also quite good, I spent less than $10 getting a good meal and a pint every time we went there. This place is budget but looks nothing like a budget place.

Hostels - Best experience of my life, Hi Montreal is located right next to the Bell Centre and is a block away from a subway. The people their are great, you get a lot of hot foreign girls and you can easily pay $20-30 if you're alone. Get a locker, and take advantage of the pub crawls/random activities, so much random German ass on my last vacation. http://www.hostels.com/en/availabili...telNumber.4699

random bars - Shop around I found this sick place with comfy couches and cheap quesadillas for $1.99, if you bought food ($1.99) then you could drink as many shooters as your heart could possibly want ($1 each). We arrived in Montreal a few hours before check in and just got plastered at 10 am in the morning at this place, I was ready to sleep on these couches. I spent a good 30-40 on quesadillas and shooters.




edit: if you're coming from NYC skip Toronto and go to Niagara Falls then Montreal.

I'm in Ottawa, and Moosehead and Keiths are two great beers you should try if you haven't already. Moosehead Pale is awesome. Toronto and Montreal have more of the sights/party scenes I ain't going to lie. If you're around Ottawa I'd grab a brew with ya, but as far as partying goes, definatly enjoy montreal.

[Hero*]

if you love drinking piss, have a moosehead. Okay, its not that bad but there are others that are better. If you want a good beer, have keiths as knockers stated, but try creemore, rickards, and steamwhistle is alright. CN Tower is pretty cool, but costly. have a meal up there. its expensive but its pretty damn good.
hockey hall of fame if you are a hockey fan, and even if you aren't its pretty cool
eatons centre if you want to go shopping
walk down some streets surrounding the eatons center and you'll probably find some pretty sweet stores
go to niagra falls too! fallsview casino and stay at a hotel like cops said.
bad grammar i know but im tired.

I thought hookers are legal in parts of Canada? What about pot? Niagra Falls are fun.. they have a Ripley's 'Believe it or Not' museum there... fucking cool as shit.

Didn't we have a Peel Pub in Toronto somewhere on King St. I think? I liked that place.

If you are into beer, the ones Hero* talked about are pretty good. I'd also add Sleeman's to that list as well. Right beside the Skydome (or Rogers Center), there's the Steam Whistle Brewery. I've never been, but I've always wanted to go (my friends don't find beer that fascinating).

Niagara Falls is basically built for tourism, so I think as long as your are near the Falls, you will find something to do.

Old Montreal is definitely somewhere you would want to visit in Montreal. The harbourfront is a nice place to go (I'm not sure in the Winter though, in the summer there is a lot of street performers and street vendors), and there are plenty of restaurants to go and try (I can't say much for pub/bars, cause I've always been underage or with my family in Montreal)
Oh, if you have time, and enjoy delicious smoked meat sandwiches, try and find a little deli called Schwartz's Hebrew Delicatessen. It's basically the most famous deli in Montreal and there has always been a line outside whenever we go. It's at 3895 Saint-Laurent Boulevard and is worth every penny.

Happy travels!

Prostitution (escort services) is legal but most of the activities surrounding it are illegal. Weed is still illegal and a touchy issue but if you have a small amount on your person and get caught it's not a big deal. Amsterdam might suit you better if you're looking for those kind of activities but if you are looking to make a run up here I would suggest you check with local laws.

canada's awesome. i went to Oakville, near Toronto last year, and i'm going to Ottawa next summer. if that's where you decide to go, let me know how it is.

hero: moosehead and keith's were my favourite canadian beers.

[Cops]

First of all Moosehead is by far the best beer you'll find in Canada besides Brahma which is Brazilian.

Finding weed in places right across the border is slightly sketchy, people know Americans have money and they want weed. If you're lucky you'll find someone decent but you'll probably get shit weed and a crappy count.

Prostituion, just get a call girl. Don't go to a massage parlor those things get raided all the time. Or just don't get a prostitue altogether.

Toronto perks; CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Eaton Centre, Queen St (a lot of cool shops), good concernts and venues (The Docks, Kool Haus)

-If you have a lot of money and don't mind spending more than the expected limit on a vacation go to Toronto or don't waste your time

Toronto's downsides; overpriced clubs, exspensive food and beer, hotels suck unless you pay a crap load, no really good hostels for travelers, legal age of drinking 19, alcohol heavily monitored at restaurants (you will get carded and a lot of fake id's say their American or out of province). If you're visiting expect for someone to claim that your ID's fake or try to take it away, yeah wouldn't that suck getting your ID taken by some dick bouncer when you really are from America.

- Royal York, way too much
- Courtyard in and around a ghetto, it's hard to get in and out of the hotel
- Holiday Inn, right by richmond and jaird, avoid if possible

Montreal's perks;Cheap beer, casino, better subway system than Toronto, good hostels (hi montreal), cheaper hotels, rich culture, better clubs, better bars, comedy festivel, ability to buy beer at any corner store as well as the SAQ, legal age to drink 18 (it's not really enforced that much), better bars than Toronto, Slutty French girls

-Hi Montreal (seriously go if you have a chance)
-Most other hotels in decent or okay area, can get an awesome deal unlike Toronto that has dead set rates

Montreal's downsides; french people who hate english people, if you don't speak French some people will throw their noses up at you

Niagara Falls, cause it has no downsides;Beautiful sceneary, cheap hotels (like i said can get one for 40-50 right now), good food, naturally beautiful at this time of year, Clifton hill = amazing, Hotels are top notch, Fallsview is awesome although I like Montreal's casino, everything is conviently located in one central area and there's no need to cab it unless you're getting there from the VIA or Bus Stop (only like $10). Walk around the parks and enjoy the fireworks and light show which goes on every night during Christmas, Disney characters in a park right by the falls that are awesome to look at, Get a horse ride on a cold winter night when the night's beauty is illumated by the lights, trust me if you've got a girl she'll love you for taking her here.
