🇨🇦 Windsor: The Perfect Day Trip from Toronto for a Chill CityWalk

No need to wake up early—just hop on the 12 PM VIA Rail, enjoy the scenery with some music, and indulge in Business Class snacks (hello, free food!). Three relaxing hours later, you’re in Windsor, Ontario’s charming border city. 🚆🍷 🌆 Afternoon Exploration 🏛️ Historic Campus Vibes: Head straight to Dillon Hall at the University of Windsor—its Gothic Revival architecture feels like stepping back a century. Nearby, Assumption College & Church (est. 1767!) is older than Canada itself and a must-see heritage site. (Fun fact: As an "A" entry in databases, it’s always at the top—finally got to visit this little plot of land I’ve been maintaining for years! 😆) 🌉 Ambassador Bridge Views: Stroll along the Detroit River, where the iconic Ambassador Bridge (once the world’s longest suspension bridge!) connects Canada to the U.S. Seeing "🇺🇸 Detroit" signs just steps away is surreal! 🍽️ Evening Delights 🍝 Affordable Italian Feasts: Windsor’s Little Italy offers better prices than Toronto—mangia like a king without breaking the bank! 🌃 Riverside Serenity: After dinner, wander back along the river, soaking in the Detroit skyline lights. So peaceful, it melts away a week’s worth of stress. 🛌 Where to Stay 🏨 TownePlace Suites Windsor: Surprisingly spacious rooms and right next to the bus terminal—perfect for an easy Detroit day trip via the Tunnel Bus (RIP though—it’s shutting down in June due to budget cuts & U.S.-Canada tensions 😢). #Canada #TorontoDayTrip #WindsorOntario #CityWalk #HiddenGems #TravelDiaries
