Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), located northwest of the downtown area, offers several ground transportation options. Many choose to take the Brampton Transit, the MI Way or the GO Transit to get to the airport quickly.

Flight duration from YYZ to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is a little over five hours. As you arrive, look to catch the BART rail to get you into the northern part of the area, including San Mateo County or directly into downtown San Francisco.

Attractions and Tips

Fisherman’s Wharf is home to the Aquarium of the Bay, which offers a casual, self-paced tour of the area’s underwater residents.

No visit to San Francisco would be complete without the Golden Gate Bridge experience. While you can take a tour across, many people choose to go along at their own pace using the pedestrian walkway on either side to capture some photographs of the water and the city itself.

In the summer, you’ll get to experience the San Francisco fog that results from the hot air rising. Summers and winters are mild, creating very subtle changes to the temperature based on the time of year. This consistent weather makes it possible to enjoy a visit to San Francisco any time.
