Oakville

Introduction

Oakville is a town in Ontario and the seat of Halton Region, sitting within the Greater Toronto Area. It borders Burlington to the southwest, Milton to the northwest and Mississauga to the northeast, placing you at the western edge of Canada's largest urban area.

It is Ontario's largest town, so expect the feel of a sizeable community rather than a small one, with the amenities that come with being part of a major metropolitan region.

Three days in Oakville

Day one: Start in Oakville, Ontario, within Halton Region and the Greater Toronto Area. Get your bearings in the town before deciding how far you want to range across the surrounding municipalities.

Day two: Use Oakville as your base and look towards Burlington and Milton, both in Halton Region, for a change of scene within the same part of Ontario.

Day three: Head east to Mississauga in the Greater Toronto Area, or stay in Oakville if you would rather keep the day local. From there, Canada's larger network of cities and regions is within reach.
