Classic Eastern Canada by Rail
Travel from Toronto to Quebec City by VIA Rail, connecting Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands, and historic French-speaking cities.
Travel from west to east along the VIA Rail Corridor, stopping at Kingston to see the Thousand Islands, with no driving required. Spend about two nights in each city for a balanced pace. This itinerary is ideal for first-time visitors to Canada who prefer not to drive. Niagara Falls is treated as a day trip, which means missing the night illumination but saves you from moving your luggage an extra time.
The Maid of the Mist and Thousand Islands cruises operate from approximately April to November; this route is not recommended in winter.
