Getting to Stratford

Stratford is around 2 hours by car from Toronto Airport (YYZ, 1 hour 30 minutes away from Stratford), an airport that serves over 160+ destinations. If you are coming from outside of Canada, this is where you will most likely land.

If you are coming from inside Canada, you may want to select Waterloo airport (YKF, 45 minutes away) airport. If you’re coming from the US, Detroit (DTW, 2 hours 30 minutes away) may be a good bet.

You can get from YYZ to Stratford a number of ways, from cheap to expensive: public transport, shared shuttles, taxi services.
