Toronto is the largest metropolis in Canada, complete with Canada's Walk of Fame, which has stars to represent famous Canadians. The train ride to Saskatoon is relatively smooth, traveling over flat plains.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Passport with appropriate visas if you are not Canadian.
  • Computer with access to the Internet.

    Review Your Trip Choices

  1. Step 1

    Make sure you have a place to stay before you get off the train in the middle of the night. Have transportation to your accommodations arranged beforehand.

  2. Step 2

    Think about your options before you book train travel. Comfort Class, which is the economical choice, is less than half the price of Silver & Blue Class, which has five levels and entitles the traveler to a bed and shower. Trains can be uncomfortable, so keep your sanity in mind when you book your tickets.

  3. Step 3

    Consider that Toronto is home to dozens of cultural institutions. From Shakespeare outdoors to the Canadian Opera Company, any person can find something to do. One thing that most of these have in common is that they run seasonally, so research your interests and plan your trip accordingly.

  4. Book Your Travel

  5. Step 1

    Think about getting a Canrailpass, which allows you to travel anywhere on Canada's rails for a set fee. You may travel for 12 of 30 days. Plan to travel in the off-peak season, because the on-peak season causes a roughly 60 percent jump in price.

  6. Step 2

    Leave Toronto on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. These three days are your only option, and the train leaves at exactly 9 p.m. You can expect to arrive in Saskatoon at about 2 a.m. on Thursday, Saturday or Monday morning, respective to when you left.

  7. Step 3

    Remember that Saskatoon is known as 'The Hub City' for a reason. Be sure to book your connecting trains early to avoid unintentionally stranding yourself in Saskatoon.

Tips & Warnings
  • Arrive at the station promptly, ideally 30 minutes or more prior to your train's scheduled departure.
  • Remember to bring books, magazines, personal music players, hand-held games or other entertainment for the trip, which lasts approximately 6 hours.
