at the best time to visit it really
depends on what you want to see and do
when you plan a trip to canada generally
september through to november is a great
time to visit most places as the weather
is comfortable the fall colours are
beautiful and many destinations are
quieter the less tourists than the
summer months plus canada know how to
enjoy autumn too expect pumpkin infused
treats and wine festivals
also these months tend to be the
cheapest months to visit canada as well
june through august are warmer months in
canada so if you plan on visiting the
beaches or enjoy niagara falls without
catching a cold then these are great
times to visit
however prices are higher during the
summer accommodation can often get
booked up quickly and attractions are
much busier
winter runs from mid-november to
mid-march and can be cold so unless you
are visiting for the festive season or
skiing try to avoid this time when
possible
so now let's look at how to get around
canada the country of canada is huge but
exploring all the areas is worth your
time there are a few different ways to
travel around firstly you could travel
by air air canada and westjet are two
airlines that serve many destinations in
canada these domestic flights range in
price but save you many hours especially
if you are traveling from one side of
the country to the other just make sure
to book flights in advance to save money
you could also drive around canada as
well if you are from the us uk australia
or new zealand you can drive with a full
driving license as long as you are over
21. just remember that gas stations are
few and far between once you are
visiting the remote regions of canada
the roads and highways are easy to drive
but be careful of the gravel roads in
the north and more rural areas you could
also use the rail network canada has a
fantastic railway network that links
cities across the country trains are
comfortable and safe and you can learn
more on their website via rail we will
leave the link in the description below
there are some gorgeous routes that take
you through canada's finest scenery of
the toronto to vancouver two-day journey
being one of the most spectacular
smaller companies run scenic rail trips
like the rocky mountaineer in vancouver
and the polar bear express

so now let's look at how to visit canada
on a budget so canada can be an
expensive place to visit but there are
plenty of ways that you can save money
firstly limit your stay in big cities
there are plenty of cities in canada but
prices in cities like toronto and
vancouver can be high
check out the nearby smaller towns
especially when visiting the national
parks you could also choose to travel
off season like we mentioned before with
cheaper prices available in the winter
or from september to november
buses are the cheapest option for
traveling around canada and make sure to
compare flights when you are traveling
to canada as well websites like marmondo
can compare the best dates of travel for
you if you are planning to visit a few
of the many national parks in canada you
can get a yearly discovery pass that
allows you entrance to all the parks at
a reduced rate one of the biggest
expenses in canada after accommodation
is food prices eating out can be
expensive but there are ways to reduce
the price firstly check out their lunch
deals in restaurants and take advantage
of these when possible use the grocery
stores to stock up on snacks and cold
meals or check out the budget friendly
restaurants in each city most cities
have chain restaurants too which offer
cheaper meals and you can also find
inexpensive meals in the asian
restaurants as well
so now let's look at where to go in
canada so firstly you need to head to
vancouver no matter what time of the
year you visit vancouver is beautiful
during winter you can explore the
snow-capped mountains walk the sea walls
or experience any of the nearest ski
resorts
during the summer vancouver has plenty
of great beaches perfect for a dip in
the warm summer weather also make sure
to head out over to fraser valley
whistler victoria and visit the towering
trees at stanley park
and of course you can't visit canada
without heading to niagara falls
discovered in 1678 niagara falls has
been one of the most famous natural
attractions in the world from the
canadian side you can take the
hornblower boat to get closer to the
falls themselves
there is also plenty of things to see
and do in the niagara falls area on the
canadian side with fun museums mini golf
and even an observation wheel
you should also head to toronto being
canada's largest city and home to the
iconic cn tower toronto has a lot to
offer visitors
you could check out a show watch one of
the many sports available try some
amazing food from all around the world
and take some time to relax and unwind
with a walk along the waterfront
then you have montreal the historic city
of old montreal offers vintage
architecture and cobbled streets this is
a vast contrast to the modern montreal
so give yourself plenty of time to
explore all of the areas of the city
if you are visiting canada in the winter
you have to head to quebec city
expect cobblestone streets historic
sites and an amazing european charm
during the winter there are festive
offerings all over the city including
