Budgeting and Travel Tips for Ontario

  • Prices in the destination rise and crowds swell during the peak season. For a more budget-friendly and less crowded experience, consider visiting in the shoulder or low seasons.
  • Traveling more slowly can help you save some cash while enjoying the beauty of the area. When you fill your days with activities, expenses can skyrocket. But taking it easy often means enjoying yourself more and spending less.

Budgeting Challenges

  • With limited public transportation in Ontario, it could be wise to rent a car or arrange for transportation, such as a tour. Just keep in mind that this might affect your budget in other areas.
  • Ontario isn't known for its abundance of hostels, so if you're hoping to crash in a budget-friendly dorm, you might need to rethink your strategy. Consider looking for an affordable hotel or an apartment rental instead.
