This short bus trip from Toronto takes you to Ontario's 'most beautiful village'

You don't need a car to visit one of Ontario's most beautiful villages. This bus trip from Toronto takes you to a stunning town with European vibes, and it's a dreamy summer day trip.

Tour bus agency Parkbus is offering trips from Toronto to Elora on select dates between June and October.

The trip takes just under two hours and whisks you away to a charming riverside village as well as a scenic conservation area with towering cliffs.

The bus stops at both the Elora Gorge Conservation Area and the quaint village of Elora. You can choose to explore one destination or both during the day trip. Elora is situated about a 30-minutes from the gorge by foot, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes if you plan on travelling between the two areas.

The Elora Gorge is one of Parkbus's most popular day trips, according to the website, and offers stunning hikes and thrilling tubing adventures. Admission to the gorge is included in the bus ticket, but if you plan on tubing, you'll have to make a reservation in advance.

Elora is a majestic spot to spend an afternoon. According to Parkbus, it's a "postcard-perfect" town "full of indie shops, great food, and riverside views."

It's known as "Ontario's most beautiful village," so you can expect to enjoy some stunning scenery here.

From cozy cafes, hidden ice cream shops and unique boutiques, Elora has no shortage of spots to explore. The limestone buildings and European vibes will transport you to another world.

The bus departs from downtown Toronto at 8:15 a.m. and returns at 5 p.m. Tickets for the Elora Gorge day trips are available on the Parkbus website.
