Mississauga, Ontario
Mississauga, Ontario’s position might surprise you, achieving a Tourism Sentiment Score® of 27.58 and landing at
number 42 on the list (higher than places like Dubai and Montego Bay, Jamaica), but when you consider its proximity
to Toronto, along with its inclusion in
the Greater Toronto Area, the ranking
is justified. It’s truly a multi-faceted
destination. It’s far enough away from the
hustle and bustle of the province’s capital,
yet close enough to enjoy everything it
has to offer—there are a number of scenic
adventures, exciting attractions, and
unique experiences found in Mississauga,
too. Plus, it has its own personality that
helps set itself apart from Toronto, like the
lakeside community of Port Credit where
you’ll find picturesque views and bustling
village charm.
Location is everything when it comes to tourism, and Mississauga is ideally situated for visitors looking to experience
a variety of single- and multi-day trips.
• It’s about 30 kilometres from Downtown Toronto;

For outdoor enthusiasts, Mississauga is bursting with parks and trails just waiting to be explored. Nestled along
the shores of Lake Ontario, the city offers the perfect backdrop for walking, jogging, and biking with endless sights
of the waterfront. There’s no shortage of family-friendly activities—like bouncing on the trampolines at Air Riderz
Adventures—and dozens of tours and attractions to enjoy. Find history and culture at one of the many museums and
galleries throughout the city, and discover exciting entertainment day and night.
For shopping, Square One Shopping Mall has everything you need—from big box stores, to a food court filled with
local artisan fare, to a space dedicated to sports, gaming, and live entertainment. And when it comes to food and
drink, Mississauga is no slouch, offering a number of breweries, restaurants, and bakeries.
To some, Mississauga is known as the “City of Villages,” since there are several different communities to call home. A
REALTOR® in the area will help you determine which neighbourhood is right for your individual needs. They’ll also
