There are many places just outside Toronto that offer a rejuvenating break from city life. The Niagara region and Ontario&#8217;s cottage country are some of the best options for a weekend getaway from Toronto if you don&#8217;t want to spend too much time on the road. Muskoka, Collingwood, and Wasaga Beach are all approximately two hours from the city and are popular spots for getting away for a weekend or just a day trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the most scenic road trip from Toronto?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wondering what is the best road trip from Toronto? It all depends on what you want to want to see and how long you want to spend on the road. Driving to the Kawartha Lakes, St Catharines, or Blue Mountain can all be done in under two hours, highlighting local history, beautiful lakes, and iconic landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a longer drive, Algonquin Provincial Park and the Bruce Peninsula are two destinations that take you into the heart of nature. The Highway 60 corridor in Algonquin is known for incredible wildlife sightings, and you can admire the Niagara Escarpment and Georgian Bay Islands from the driver&#8217;s seat as you cruise through Bruce and Grey Counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to go in Ontario this weekend for couples?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Niagara Falls is often considered one of Canada&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/canada\/must-do\/top-7-best-places-to-visit-in-canada-as-a-couple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>best romantic getaways<\/strong><\/a> and makes a dreamy day trip, too.
