5 Reasons why attending the International Kadampa Fall Festival is easier than you think:
1. Toronto is easy to get to
Toronto’s airports are well connected internationally. Most international flights go through Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and some domestic and regional airlines, especially from the USA, fly into Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ).
2. The Festival Venue & Festival Hotel are very easy to get to
If arriving into Pearson International Airport, the easily accessible and inexpensive Union Pearson Express train takes you to Union Station in around 25 minutes. Union Station is only a few minutes’ walk to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). Cost CAN$12 each way or CAN$9 each way with a PRESTO card. currency converter
From Union Station, it is just a quick ride on the Yonge-University Subway Line (line 1) to College station to get to the Chelsea Hotel.
If arriving into Billy Bishop Airport, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC) is just a 20 minute walk from the airport, or you can take the 509 Harbourfront Streetcar to Union Station. From Union Station, you can take the Yonge-University Subway Line (line 1) to College Station to get to the Chelsea Hotel.
