New York City Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Toronto

Toronto to New York City roundtrip rail getaway on the Maple Leaf

New York City Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Toronto, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations runs this four-day, three-night independent rail getaway between Toronto and New York City, using the Maple Leaf train in Coach class for the roundtrip journey. The trip is built around three nights in a New York City hotel, with a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour giving you an independent way to reach Rockefeller Center, Little Italy, Chinatown, Soho, the Empire State Building, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, and the Statue of Liberty, rather than following a guided schedule. Because the Maple Leaf runs as a single named train each way, with no train change described, this is a straightforward route, and it crosses an international border between Toronto and New York City. The operator's listing does not include a day-by-day breakdown, so specific timings for the rail journey and city touring are not available here. This suits travelers who want a short international rail getaway with a mix of New York City history and neighborhoods on their own schedule.
