Mississauga Guidebook
Neighborhoods
Winston Churchill (our neighborhood) is one of the best and safest places in Mississauga. It is ideal for anyone looking to have a great getaway without any worries about whether you are travelling for pleasure or business. You will have access to anything on your itinerary from entertainment, shopping, food, and drink, to a quiet serene vacation if you so choose.
My residence is 15 min from Downtown Mississauga and Square One shopping center, 25 min from the airport, and 35 min from Downtown Toronto.
Niagara Falls and wine country is 45 min away and you are just over an hour from the US border.
You can enjoy your day by eating out at one of the cool restaurants or bars we have within walking distance or a short car ride, shopping, or even taking a long walk on the trails right beside the house at one of our many parks.
If you want to go sightseeing or seek some local culture, visit one of our many museums in Toronto, see Niagara Falls, or go for some wine tasting in Niagara Wine Region. There is also Exhibition Place, Ontario Place, Toronto Zoo, African Lion Safari, Ontario Science Center, Wonderland, Marine-land, Wild Water Kingdom, and much more!
If you want to visit lake Ontario, it is only 20 minutes away and there you can find, the port and marina, beachfront parks, shops, cafes, restaurants, festivals, and much more.
If you visit in the winter, go skating for free at Mississauga celebration square or skiing at Centennial park both under 10 minutes away!
