There are so many things to experience in this diverse city;
it will be necessary to plan ahead to ensure you’ll get
to everything you MUST see.
Traffic is busy in the city and parking is very expensive. So
if you have a car with you, leave it at your hotel when exploring
the city and use it for trips to outlying attractions. The Saskatoon
Transit System (TTC) is easy to use and quite inexpensive. Taxis
are also readily available.
There are a lot of things to see and do in Saskatoon, and here
are some places you should look into:
