The drive from Toronto to Buffalo takes about two hours. 

Buffalo is an incredible city with a rich history, great parks,  architecture, museums, galleries and other iconic landmarks and attractions. A  Pulitzer Prize-winner Ada Louise Huxtable described Buffalo as having “the greatest urban vista in America.” Frederick Law Olmsted, known as a father of American landscape architecture, developed  a parkway system for Buffalo and described the city as “the best planned city in America, if not the world, ... a democratic and egalitarian city.”

Few cities possess the kind of architectural resume Buffalo maintains. The New York Times called it “a textbook for a course in modern American buildings.” In the Queen City, unlike many other cities in the United States, many wonderful architectural masterpieces of the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been perfectly preserved. Only in New York and Buffalo at the same time created three American geniuses of architecture of that era - Henry Richardson, Frank Wright and Louise Sullivan.
