What is the best time to visit Canada?

Once you arrive in Canada, make sure to research what activities and attractions will be open during your visit so that you can plan accordingly.

The Canadian summer includes many festivals and events such as Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), Folklorama, Electric Forest Festival, Festival du Voyageur, Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Montreal Jazz Festival, les Francofolies, Ottawa Bluesfest, Vancouver’s Pride Parade or Calgary Stampede.

Where in Canada should you visit?

Canada offers visitors a number of unique experiences, but the most popular areas include the Canadian Rockies, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. If you’re looking to see Canada on a budget, then Edmonton is a great choice as it is both affordable and safe.
If you want to experience the Canadian wilderness, Vancouver Island is the best place for you. It has plenty of natural beauty and wildlife in addition to being an excellent spot for those who enjoy water sports. Another good option for tourists interested in the wilderness is Newfoundland and Labrador: the province is home to some amazing beaches as well as hundreds of miles of coastline that offer spectacular scenery.

How to get to Canada from abroad

When you’re planning a trip to Canada, the first step is getting there. There are plenty of ways to get into Canada from abroad, including via flights, trains and ferries from the US or Europe. You’ll need to know your options for crossing the border if you’re coming from another country, as well.
Canada is a huge country with lots of different climates and terrain. If you’re planning on visiting more than one part of Canada’s vast land mass (or just want to switch things up), it’s a good idea to take a cross-country flight. However, if you don’t have time for that or don’t want to spend so much money on airport fees, taking a train or boat might be your best option.
If you’re traveling across Canada by car and coming from the US, note that Canadian customs will expect you to pay duty on any goods in your vehicle when entering Canada at the border. This can include things like food, beverages and clothes that were previously purchased outside of Canada.
