About this place
Richmond Hill is a suburban city in Southern Ontario, about 20 km north of downtown Toronto. Part of the Greater Toronto Area, it grew rapidly during the post-war suburban boom and today is home to a diverse community with notable Chinese and Persian populations.
The historic core runs along Yonge Street between Major Mackenzie Drive and Crosby Avenue, while the broader city offers a mix of parks, shopping plazas, and residential neighbourhoods. Its location just north of Highway 407 and alongside Highway 404 makes it an accessible base for exploring York Region.

Planning Tips
- Validate your bus ticket — YRT and Viva require timestamp validation before riding; use machines at Viva stops or onboard YRT buses.
- Check transit schedules ahead — especially on weekends and holidays when GO train service to Toronto is unavailable and some bus routes run less frequently.
- Consider a car for flexibility — free parking is nearly universal, and a vehicle makes reaching scattered points of interest much easier.
- Plan airport transfers — GO Bus Route 40 provides reliable hourly service from Pearson Airport's Terminal 1 to Richmond Hill Centre.
