There are many parts of Canada to explore. You can start with the Canadian Rockies, move to the Prairie Provinces, and end your trip with Toronto or Niagara Falls. Canada’s cities are filled with diverse cultures and fascinating attractions. Check out smaller cities if you’re looking for a more affordable way to see the country. In Quebec City, for example, you’ll get a taste of French Canadian culture. The city features quaint streets lined with shops, the Chateau Frontenac, and other museums celebrating art and culture.

The Canadian Rockies

For nature lovers, a trip to the Canadian Rockies is the perfect way to reconnect with the great outdoors. The Canadian Rockies cover a vast area with four separate national parks straddling the Continental Divide. Banff, Jasper, Yoho, and Kootenay dominate the range’s Alberta side, while Banff National Park dominates the British Columbia side. Regardless of your skill level, you’ll find dozens of exciting activities and adventures in these stunning regions.

Canadian Prairie Provinces

The Canadian Prairie Provinces are much bigger than most US states and Europe, with combined land areas of around seven million square kilometers. Despite their size, the provinces are compact, with roughly half the population living in three large cities. The provinces are also very different, with the south being mostly arid and the climate warmer. The “sunny” Alberta is quite arid in parts and is a major agricultural center.

Toronto

A quick flight from your place, Toronto, Canada, is an enchanting urban oasis that hums with subzero energy. Toronto is a city of diverse neighborhoods. Most streets are lined with cozy cafés, microbreweries, and sustainability-focused restaurants. Visitors will find gems in Toronto’s cultural scene around every corner. While the city’s long, glacial winters may leave one feeling cold and weary, the town hums with activity and energy.

Niagara Falls

If you want to experience the beauty of Niagara Falls without getting wet, you can take a guided tour. The summer is the busiest time to visit Niagara Falls, with temperatures hovering around 80 degrees. But if you’re coming in winter, you’ll likely find the temperatures a bit colder, with higher crowds. Spring and fall are also nice seasons when the temperatures are pleasant, and hotel prices are lower. But you’ll need to book ahead because of the many tourists during those seasons.
