If you’re anything like us, you love a great getaway, and that usually starts at the airport.
Sometimes you have a little extra time on your hands and want to browse what’s available, or maybe you forgot something last minute. Regardless, while Duty Free shops are great, sometimes you just want something a little…extra.
This is where we come to the rescue! Whether you’re a regular at Toronto Pearson Airport or just passing through, new expansions and additions of world renown retailers are at your fingertips.
Here are our top 10 favourite shops at Toronto Pearson Airport:
