Canada is a truly majestic and amazing place, with culture and stunning scenery in abundance. Nevertheless, with so much to see and do, you will truly be spoilt for choice. In addition, unless you have an endless amount of time on your hands, you are not going to be able to see the entire country in one trip. With that in mind, let us look at some of the best Canada itineraries for you to choose from.
City hopping
One option you have at your disposal is to city hop. If you are going to do this, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver are must-visits. You can start at Montreal, and stay in one of the hotels near the airport, such as Residence Inn Montreal Airport. Once you are here, you could even have a little side trip to Quebec City before you move onto your next destination. There are regular flights going to and from Montreal and Toronto. Other cities you may want to incorporate include St John’s, Halifax, and Calgary.
Exploring Canada’s North
The north of Canada is a place where you will experience culture in abundance, as well as magical landscapes and polar bears. Highlights of this itinerary will include the likes of Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Churchill. Unfortunately, as this is a remote area, there is no easy way of seeing all of the north of Canada in one trip. This is why you really need to think about what you want to achieve from your trip. Churchill is a must if wildlife is your main priority. You can see the polar bear migration in the autumn.
Landscapes and coastal towns
If you are looking for majestic and breathtaking landscape, make sure you grab your camera and head to St. John’s, Gros Morne National Park, and the coastal towns around here. St. John’s is the provincial capital, and here you will be able to explore the delightful downtown area, as well as Signal Hill National Historic Site. You can then head to the charming town of Trinity, where there are colorful houses looking onto oceanfront cliffs. This is a magical seaside village. You can do whale-watching tours while in this area. After this, you will want to go through Terra Nova National Park and then make your way to Gros Morne National Park.
The mountains
Last but not least, we have the Canadian Rockies, which are best to see via car. It is a good idea to start your trip in Calgary and head to Vancouver, or do it in reverse order. This will enable you to witness everything from the Banff National Park to the stunning Lake Okanagan. Kelowna is a pleasant city that is on route, and you can do some skiing here if you visit during the winter period.
So there you have it: some of the best itineraries to embrace when you go to Canada. Which one of these plans will you go following? Maybe you have already got your own Canada vacation mapped out!
