Welland is about 130 kilometres southwest of Toronto and 20 kilometres south of Niagara Falls. By car, take the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) south from Toronto toward Niagara, then Highway 406 south into Welland — about 90 minutes from Toronto in normal traffic.
There is no direct train service to Welland. The closest VIA Rail station is Niagara Falls (about 20 minutes by car), which has connections to Toronto Union Station. Ontario Northland and local Niagara Region Transit bus services also connect Welland to St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, and Fort Erie. For most visitors, a car is the practical choice; the Niagara region is not well served by public transit relative to its geographic spread.
