Information
The excellent Ontario Tourism Travel Information Centre (Mon-Fri 10am-9pm, Sat 9.30am-7pm & Sun noon-5pm; tel 1-800/ONTARIO, within Toronto tel 416/314-0944, www.ontariotravel.net ), on Level 1 of the Eaton shopping centre at Yonge and Dundas, stocks a comprehensive range of information on all the major attractions in Toronto and throughout Ontario. Of particular interest are the free city maps, the Ride Guide to the city's transport system, and accommodation and entertainment details in the monthly magazine Where . They will also book hotel accommodation on your behalf both in Toronto and across all of Ontario. Alternatively, the Info T.O. visitor information centre (daily: May-Sept 8am-8pm, Oct-April 9am-5pm) is located in the city's Convention Centre at 255 Front St W, a couple of minutes' walk west from Union Station. Privately run, they are more geared up for selling tour tickets than providing information, though they do have a reasonable supply of free literature on the city and its environs. They are not, however, nearly as well organized as the Ontario Tourism Centre. Finally, Tourism Toronto , the city's official visitor and convention bureau, operates a telephone information line that can handle most city queries and will make hotel reservations. Phone hours are Mon-Fri 8.30am-5pm, Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 10am-5pm; tel 416/203-2500 or 1-800/363-1990.
