Canada

After a lot of research I thought I knew what to expect from Canada. Some things matched: Banff National Park is as spectacular as every review says, and Vancouver has a genuine energy I'd read about. The tourtière obsession is completely justified. What I wasn't prepared for: stunning national par…

Only had a long weekend — about 8 days — in Canada, based in Toronto. More than enough to fall for the place. Did Banff National Park on day one and spent the rest of the time just walking and eating. The fresh maple syrup situation here is no joke — some of the best eating I've done anywhere. very…

Rocky Mountains in Canada is extraordinary — the scale and history hit you immediately. But the experience around it has been thoroughly commercialised. Getting there, navigating the crowds, and dealing with persistent sellers around Quebec City centre made it more stressful than it should be. Away…

I spent 7 days in Canada and based myself mainly in Vancouver. The city itself exceeded expectations — the Niagara Falls was genuinely jaw-dropping and I ended up visiting twice. Food was a highlight throughout; I must have eaten fresh maple syrup every other day and have no regrets about it whatsoe…

We chose Canada for our honeymoon and it was perfect for us. The romantic atmosphere in Montreal at night, the drama of Old Quebec, the intimacy of small restaurants serving butter tarts — all of it added up to exactly what we were hoping for. spectacular wilderness became an unexpected gift — some…

Did 20 days solo in Canada and found it extremely manageable as a solo traveller. The transport network around Vancouver is decent and getting to Banff National Park independently was straightforward. Met fellow travellers easily and locals were generally happy to chat. stunning national parks was …

Canada is a genuinely beautiful and interesting place. Niagara Falls is worth every superlative thrown at it. The fresh maple syrup is legitimately excellent. spectacular wilderness gave the trip real depth. What I struggled with: the tourist infrastructure around the headline sites in Montreal is …

Visited Canada for 17 days. The positives are real: Niagara Falls is every bit as impressive as advertised, and the food scene around Vancouver is genuinely excellent — try poutine if you haven't. stunning national parks was an unexpected bonus. That said, very expensive in tourist towns. It's not …

I travel for food more than anything else, and Canada shot straight to the top of my culinary travel list. poutine alone justified the flight, but that was just the beginning. The variety and quality in Vancouver is relentless — I didn't have a single disappointing meal in 7 days. Old Quebec gave c…

Canada wasn't high on my travel list. A friend pushed me to go and I'm genuinely grateful. The first full day in Vancouver reset everything — the scale of Rocky Mountains and the quality of the poutine were immediate signals that I'd misjudged the place completely. stunning national parks became my…
