Toronto Pearson International Airport

Canada's biggest city on the lake

Toronto sits on the north shore of Lake Ontario, Canada's largest and most diverse city, with neighborhoods reflecting waves of immigration from across the world. The UP Express train runs directly from Pearson Airport to Union Station downtown in about 25 minutes, a fast, reliable alternative to the highway. Winters bring real snow and cold, while summers are warm and humid, with the lake moderating temperatures somewhat near the shore. The city's subway and streetcar network covers the core well, though the wider metro area leans heavily on highways and cars.

Vancouver International Airport

Canada's gateway to the Pacific

Vancouver sits between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains, a compact, glass-towered city with mountains and water visible from much of downtown. The Canada Line SkyTrain runs directly from the airport into downtown in about 25 minutes, part of a transit network that covers the core well. Rain is a defining feature of the climate, especially from fall through spring, while summers are mild and dry. The mountains north of the city offer skiing within an hour's drive, an unusual amenity for a major airport city.
