Mississauga, Ontario, is Canada’s sixth-largest city. Located a short drive from Toronto and Niagara Falls, the city is perfect for a daytrip to explore a different side of Canada.

Have breakfast at Zet’s Restaurant. The family-owned and -operated spot is open 24 hours and serves breakfast all day. The cash-only restaurant is located near the airport, offering prime views of flight paths. Breakfast sandwiches start at $4.25. Mississauga is home to 500 parks with more than 7,000 acres of green space. Go for a walk along Waterfront Trail. Located along Lake Ontario, the Mississauga section of the trail passes through 22 parks and wetlands.

For a light lunch, check out The Cold Pressery. Besides cold-pressed juices, the sleek restaurant serves up vegan and organic fare including vegetable toasts, tacos and vegan grilled cheese. Sandwiches start at $4.25. Save room for dessert, with options including cookies, donuts and cake. Visit the Art Gallery of Mississauga. The non-profit gallery is open daily and features a variety of permanent and temporary exhibitions. Admission is free, though a donation is suggested.

Take part in some retail therapy, or at least window shopping, at Square One Shopping Centre. The mall is the largest in Ontario and the second-largest in Canada. Enjoy dinner and drinks at 3 Brasseurs. The microbrewery and restaurant serves up traditional beers alongside pub grub with a French-Canadian flair. Spend $20–30 for dinner and drinks.
