What to see in Canada. All the tips for your trip and itinerary

Our itinerary through Canada began in Toronto. We fly direct from Barcelona with the Canadian airline WestJet. The plane was state-of-the-art, with several in-flight meal services and endless movies, highly recommended. We made the return trip through Montreal directly to London. with Air Transat (also Canadian) and from London we already flew to Gran Canaria. Therefore, there are two airlines to take into account for travel to Canada from Spain.

Below we detail the route we took with everything what to see in canada. you can do it adapt to your trip according to flight prices, interests and available days. Remember that at the end of this article we have an hour of video about our trip to Canada.

The ideal is to spend at least three nights in Toronto if you are going to visit Niagara Falls. We had planned it, but WestJet airline changed the departure day of the flight and we had no choice but to lose a day of our trip to Canada. By the way, if you don't have travel insurance that can cover any unforeseen events with flights, luggage, illnesses and accidents, we always hire him with IATI and we have a 5% off for you.

Well, let's get down to business, below we will tell you everything we believe are the essential things to see in Canada.

What to see in Toronto, a must on your trip to Canada

Toronto is the largest city in Canada. In fact, it is very compared to New York. Even so, there are many skyscrapers of little interest to those of us who visit the city, so the tourist sites in Toronto They can be visited in a day. Of course, then you must reserve another one to make a Niagara Falls day trip.

As you can see for yourself, hotels in Canada are not cheap. Well, nothing in Canada is. In Toronto we stayed in the Pembroke Inn about 15 minutes walk from the center. The hotel met our essentials: close to the center, cleanliness, comfortable bed and free coffee. About what to visit in Toronto, you must take into account the following attractions:

• Climb the CN Tower to have a 360º view of the entire city. His observatory is at an altitude of 447 m and was once the highest viewpoint in the world. It is currently the tenth, but the first on the American continent. It costs about 40 Canadian dollars to go up, so try to do it on a clear day and, if possible, to see the sunset.
• Yonge-Dundas square, that is, the Toronto Times Square
• St. Lawrence Market. A must-see in Toronto, both to explore and to eat.
• Distillery District. In the past it was a super whiskey distillery. Now it's a pretty pedestrian neighborhood filled with shops, bars and restaurants in XNUMXth-century brick buildings.
• Old Town Hall or Old City Hall, inaugurated in 1899.
• Square with the word «Toronto», ie the Nathan Phillips Square. At night they light it up and right behind it is the new town hall.

• Building Goodergam building o Flatiron Building. One of the biggest similarities between Toronto and New York. Next to it is the Berczy Park and the famous fountain of dogs
• Harbor Front and the Toronto Islands to have a panoramic view of the city.
• Neighborhood of China Town (paradise if you like Asian food)
• Kensington Market
• shopping street Queens St from the Grafifty Alley
• Royal Ontario Museum y AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario), i.e. Art Gallery of Ontario

✔ Restaurants in Toronto

You should know that much of “Canadian” food is fast food. That is, hamburgers, pizzas and dogs. We recommend you the following places to eat in Toronto.

• St. Lawrence market. There are natural fruit juices, sweets, breads, cheeses, baggels, etc. We We had a brunch of pancakes and eggs benedict at a place called Paddington. You can also try a different thing at each market stall. We needed to sit down this time hehe.
• Distillery District. It has restaurants of different types Mexican, ice cream parlors, tapas, Japanese, pastry shops, oysters, breweries, etc.. This place is well worth visiting, even if it is just to have an ice cream or a beer. It is all pedestrian and at night they illuminate it with small bulbs and lanterns.

• Bellisimo Pizzeria. If you are visiting the Distillery District, on your way along the Harbor Front you will come across this pizzeria. The place does not have great luxuries, but it was delicious and cheap.
• China Town. Asian food is a hit in Canada: dumplings, udon, ramen, bakeries, etc. This neighborhood of Toronto is full of options, you just have to get lost a little and choose the one you like the most. We are sure that the food will be more homemade and cheaper than in any restaurant in downtown Toronto.

Day 2: Visit Niagara Falls from Toronto. A must see in Canada

The Niagara Falls are one of the main places to see in Canada. In fact, it is one of the most touristy places. If you want to know how to get to Niagara Falls from Toronto, You can do it in different ways: by bus or bus, train, organized excursion or rental car. We chose the option of doing it by bus with FlixBus, although you can also look at schedules with Megabus and Greyhound… IMPORTANT: We recommend you book the bus in advance if you travel from June to August, we almost missed out on visiting Niagara Falls because we couldn't find a place to go and return on the same day.

At the same time, you should know that the falls light up at night, so if you have time to spare on your trip to Canada, spending one night may be an option. Anyway, The falls are located in the city Niagara Falls, very similar to Las Vegas (just remembering it horrifies me). It is a very touristy place and we believe that it is not worth "wasting" a night here.

✔ What to do in Niagara Falls. Three essentials

• Niagara Falls Boat Trip. You can book the boat online or once there. We booked it in advance for fear that there would be no availability (as happened with the bus), but honestly the boats were not full and there was no line to buy tickets. Still, if you are going to play it safe, buying them in advance is one less uncertainty. The company that operates on the Canadian side is Niagara Cruises by Hornblower. On the other side, the ship leaves from the United States Maid of the Mist.

• Visit to the “To the Falls Welcome Center” viewpoint with views of the Horseshoe waterfall niagara (the biggest). Access is free and the view is the best, so You really don't have to spend a penny to see the falls. (except transportation of course). Some of the photos that we show you in this article are taken from there.
• Cross the Rainbow Bridge over the US border with views of the Niagara River. If you have the passport and ESTA you can cross to the US and re-enter Canada. If you don't have ESTA like us, don't worry, Bring your passport and with it you can cross the border bridge for only 1 Canadian dollar. Payment is in cash. Be careful, they will ask for your passport to re-enter Canada, so don't cross if you don't have it.

As you may know, Niagara Falls can be visited from both the United States and Canada. Once there you will quickly realize how You will have the best view of the falls from Canada because we can see them from the front. In any case, if you have the ESTA visa, the two countries are very close and linked by the bridge. So you can live the experience from both sides.

✔ Niagara Falls Restaurants

This day we ate in one of the franchises that you will see all over Canada called Freshii. It is a good option if you like to eat healthy and at a good price. They have salads, bowls with rice or quinoa, burritos and smoothies.

Day 3: Toronto-Calgary-Lake Louise

On day three of our itinerary what to see in canada, half of the day was dedicated to visiting some of the places we mentioned in Toronto. The other half was traveling, as we took a flight from Toronto to Calgary. By the way, also with WestJet. That is to say, We crossed half the country to get to the airport closest to the famous Rocky Mountains of Canada. Here are two of the most brutal national parks that we have visited: Banff and Jasper.

To visit the two national parks we rent a car at calgary airport and we headed to the Lake Louise area. Highway 93 alone from Banff to Jasper is one of the essential things to see in Canada. You can compare the prices and availability of all car rental companies in RentalCars.

To enter the Banff and Jasper parks have to pay about $21 per day. Once you arrive in Banff, you tell the park ranger the number of days you are going to spend in the park with your vehicle and gives you a piece of paper that must remain visible in your car. This practically includes access to each of the attractions of the two national parks. Note that Just driving Highway 93, the Icefields Parkway, makes the entire trip to Canada worth it..

It's brutal how you drive and see mountains, forests and wildlife. We were lucky to see both the black bear, such as the gray or grizzly bear among other species such as elk, wild goats and some deer. Regarding the number of days to dedicate to Banff and Jasper, it can be infinite since there are millions of trails and lakes to visit. In any case, we believe that Three days is enough to see the essentials that we tell you about below.

Day 4: What to do in Banff Canada: Moraine and Louise Lakes

We spent the first night in the Lake louise inn within Lake Louse village. This is, as close as possible to the most touristic lakes: Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. This way, we could visit them first thing in the morning. Another option is to stay in Banff, but it is a 40-minute drive away. To visit the lakes, We recommend you do it on the public transportation provided by Parks Canada given the limited parking next to the lakes.. Now we explain how.

Apparently people go there from 6 in the morning to be able to park. You can take the shuttle book online in advance and the price is $ 8 per person. It leaves from the Lake Louise ski resort and also includes transfer between the two lakes (Moraine and Louise), as well as the return trip. You can leave your car for free next to the station where the bus that we show you below leaves from.

✔ Lake Moraine and Lake Louise, what to see in Canada without fail

Regarding the visit to Lake Moraine and Lake Louise, It's possibly the most beautiful thing we've seen so far.. We were lucky to be able to see them completely thawed, the blue water and the snowy mountains. Just a few weeks ago they had just opened access to Lake Moraine because it was frozen (check before visiting). Apparently that month of June had been one of the coldest in recent years in Canada.

At Moraine Lake we recommend Climb the path that takes you to Rockpile to have panoramic views of the entire lake and its mountains. Also at the base of the lake you usually have a good perspective. The trail is short and easy, it takes about 10 minutes on foot. The bad thing is that it is not accessible for people with reduced mobility.

Regarding lake louiseWe visited it too with the shuttle from Moraine. They are about 10 minutes from each other. We encourage ourselves with a trail known as Agnes trail to Lake Agnes which was still in the process of thawing. The idea was to go up to the Big Bee Hive (large beehive) to have a panoramic view of Lake Louise. Unfortunately, the trail was completely covered in snow and we were not prepared with spikes for our boots. So we headed back once we got to the Lake Agnes Tea House.

In any case, this The climb from Lake Louise to Lake Agnes was amazing, since from above the color of the water is accentuated as we show you in the following photo. Once in Lake Agnes you can take the opportunity to have a small picnic.

After our tour of the most beautiful lakes to see in Canada, we headed to Jasper where we spent the second night. On the way, along the famous Highway 93, we stopped at the lake Lake Bow that was still thawing. In Jasper we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant, we were in the mood for some real food after so much pizza and hamburger. And for dinner the first night in Lake Louise we bought something at the supermarket in Banff.

IMPORTANT: if you are going hiking alone (not in a group) It is advisable to carry bear pepper spray. You can rent it per day at Wilson Sports in the Village of Lake Louise. In this case the price is 10 dollars per day. If you buy it, its price is $50, but it cannot be taken on the plane. For the routes we did, I don't think it was necessary, but hey, we were newbies and we rented it.

Day 5: Lake Maligne + Icefields Parkway, Jasper and Banff

On our second day through Jasper and Banff what we did was do all the stops at the tourist attractions of the Icefields Parkway. Also, first thing in the morning we visited Lake Maligne and Maligne Canyon. We mention it below:

• Maligne Canyon. It's great, at least take advantage and visit the first three bridges.
• Lake Maligne. We just went for a walk, though you can take a ferry to Spirit Island. The road to the lake is spectacular and we saw a lot of wildlife along the way: a moose, more bears (including the Grizzly with their cubs) and a deer.

• Athabasca Falls
• Sunwapta Falls
• Athabasca Glacier. There are guided excursions, although the base of the glacier can be visited for free.
• Mistaya Canyon
• Peyto Lake and its viewpoint bow summit

Incredible route that we ended with a delicious dinner at our restaurant. Lake Louise Inn and what we recommend to stay. The next day our flight left from Calgary to Vancouver. On the way to the airport, a guide from the visitor center recommended us to stop at Johnston Canyon traveling along the A1 road that connects Lake Louise village with the canyon. During the trip we were lucky to see the second moose of the trip, although we didn't have time to record it. They are scarier and much wilder and faster than bears.

We continue our route on the essential things to see in Canada in the city of Vancouver. Thanks to this blog we met George, a friendly Canadian living in Vancouver who visited Gran Canaria at the time. George gave us the best tips on where to eat in Vancouver and that we are going to share with you. Before, if you like, we'll start by telling you what to see in Vancouver.

Day 6: Vancouver. What to see in Western Canada

One of the places that could not be missed on our itinerary through Canada was lhe city of Vancouver, recognized as one of the best cities to live in the world. We give faith. We loved the amount of green areas that the city has, even if you look at the buildings, almost all of them have trees on their balconies, terraces and attics. All this without counting on the stanley park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. Bigger than Central Park. At the same time, everything is full of bike lanes and, therefore, bikes.

The first day in Vancouver we only had time to walk around the center and have a delicious dinner at a Japanese restaurant that we will tell you about in the section about restaurants in vancouver. We were super tired from the trip. To sleep!

Day 7: What to see in Vancouver

In Vancouver we stayed in a humble hotel on the main shopping street Robson St. The Barclay Hotel. Basic, but super central. And a few steps away was Joe’s cycle where we rent bikes to visit Vancouver on two wheels. It cost us about $30 per bike including the lock and helmet. It can be rented for 7 dollars an hour, but we pay for it until the end. We'll tell you what we visited on the first day, all by bike!

• Stanley Park
• Gastown and its steam clock
• Granville Island and its market

• Kitsilano Beach
• Spanish Banks, perfect for the sunset (we went as far as the University of the British Columbia, but it's not necessary).
• yaletown, bars and shops area
• China Town
• english bay beach y a-maze-ing Laughter sculpture

✔ Restaurants in Vancouver

The city of Vancouver has a very large Asian community. Therefore, That's where the influence on the city's Asian restaurant offering comes from.. What a paradise. We recommend the following places that we tried and that our Vancouver friend George recommended to us:

• Vietnamese Phnom Penh, China town. We found this restaurant to be one of the best places to eat in Vancouver. We recommend that you order the butter beef (a kind of beef carpaccio) and garlic chicken wings. From 12:00 in the morning there was a queue.
• Korean Marutama Ramen Westend, near Robson St. If you feel like ramen, one of the best known is in Marutama Ramen. Both this site and Danbo are famous for this Korean soup. Danbo usually has longer lines and was recommended to us by more people, but we didn't feel like waiting.

• Guu Garlic, Robson St. A japanese home cooked food restaurant. We were captivated by their udon with mushrooms and another dish that was a kind of pork cheek with egg and tubers. The sushi was also delicious, but it already makes the price of the dishes very expensive.
• Dinesty dumpling house, near Robson St. Another of Vancouver's legendary restaurants is Dinesty. There are several throughout the city and they specialize in typical dumplings. Very rich and economical.
• Kingyo Izakaya, Denman St. This japanese izakaya style It cannot be missing from your list of restaurants in Vancouver. We loved the truffle carbonara udon and the corn on the cob or millet. To lick your fingers, just like that.

Finally, para have a takeaway coffee on the street, you are going to find throughout the country a chain called Tim Hortons, it is cheaper than Starbucks. By the way, in Vancouver we discovered the Dinosour beer from Phillips Brewing with a touch of stone fruit (stone fruit, similar to apricot). You have to try it!!!!

Day 8: Vancouver: Capilano bridge & Grouse Mountain

Another place you can visit if you come to Vancouver is the Capilano Bridge park and Grouse mountain. Both activities are quite touristy and expensive as we see it. If you are traveling with children and are not going to visit the Rocky Mountains, perhaps it is a mandatory stop for you. If not, as we told you in the video at the end, we believe that you can spend more time exploring the city calmly and invest that money in a good Asian restaurant.

✔ How to get to Capilano Bridge and Grouse Mountain

To reach Capilano Bridge there is a free shuttle that leaves right from Canada Place, for the return you must show your park access ticket. The journey is approximately 30 minutes and leaves you at the same door. There are other stops in the center to catch the bus, but This is the first stop, so you have a better chance of getting a seat and not having to wait for the next bus.

Once at Capilano Bridge you can take the bus to Grouse Mountain. It is number 236 and the stop is about 100 meters down on the sidewalk in front of Capilano. That is, the stop that goes uphill to Grouse Mountain. You should do the same to go down.

We had a cloudy day and the best thing about Grouse Mountain is the views, so we decided not to go up. To come back, Our friend George recommended that we continue on the 236 bus to the last stop at Lonsdale quay. Right here you can visit the Lonsdale Quay Marlket and The Shipyards. From here you can cross to the other side of the city with the Sea bus to do something different and not return with the same bus from Capilano. The trip is about 3 dollars by passing your card through the access to the terminal. He be bus It leaves you just steps from Canada Place again in a drive of less than 15 minutes.

Day 9: Vancouver-Whistler, essential things to see in Canada

Whistler is a winter sports resort and an impressive bike park in summer. As Jorge is a fan of MTB, we couldn't miss this stop on our itinerary with the destinations what to see in Canada. We took a direct shuttle from downtown Vancouver to Whistler with Epic Rides. The journey It takes about two hours and is much cheaper than renting a car..

In Whistler we stayed at the hotel Mountainside Lodge, one of the best hotels in Canada we stayed in. Be careful, if you are going to ride a bike, keep in mind that the stores will only rent you the bike, the helmet and the protections. Therefore, You have to bring your sneakers, clips and glasses. Plus, there was still snow in June. With what so much Some trails, such as some descents in the park, were still closed. This is the case of Garbanzo DH.

Day 10: What to do in Whistler

In Whistler you can ski in the winter and hike and bike in the summer. To make hiking in Whistler we recommend you do the trail of about 3 kilometers up to mid station (approximately one hour) from where it begins Whistler Blackcomb gondola. Then from mid station you can go up to the top of the mountains on the gondola. You can also take the gondola from the bottom, but you save a lot of money. If you take the gondola from mid station you have to buy the ticker in town, it's about €60 and includes the transfer to the top, then the transfer peak to peak, the chairlift for climb the Cloudraker, the highest suspension bridge in the world and the complete return to the town.

Keep in mind that throughout Whistler you will be able to find wildlife. What's more, in the same video we show you how a black bear crosses the bike park and coexists with the cyclistsace. During the trail we could see marmots and squirrels and some bears from the gondola. So don't rule out finding some specimens ascending. You know, try to be alert and stay away.

✔ Restaurants in Whistler

1. Crepe Montagne. They have brunch until 13:00 p.m. and you can order full breakfasts if you don't feel like paying $25 for a crepe. As always, I'm a fan of my eggs benedict.
2. The Tacos Canteen. The tacos are Great price and the food is good.
3. Fat Tony's pizza. It is a place that is quite hidden and we only recommend you go if you want to buy takeaway.
4. Elements Urban Tapas. Here we ate super delicious. We recommend the falafel salad.

We also bought some sandwiches and fruit for the trip in the Fresh St. Market supermarket. The truth is that it was not the typical white bread sandwich, they were good.

Day 11: Whistler-Vancouver-Montreal, what to see in Canada

We practically dedicated this day of our trip to transfers. First from Whistler to Vancouver airport, also direct and with Epic Rides. From Vancouver we fly to Montreal direct with Flair Airlines. Then keep in mind that Upon arrival in Montreal it is 3 hours more than in British Columbia. We arrived at night at the hotel with Uber And to rest. Us We are 10 minutes walk from the center at the hotel La Tour Belvédѐre, a good option if you want save something on your stay.

As we see it, The province of Quebec could not be missing from our tour of what to see in Canada and we had heard very good things about Montreal. Known as the cultural capital of Canada. It reminded us a lot of Paris, Barcelona and even San Francisco. Life everywhere.

Day 12: Montreal, a city to see in Canada

Below we tell you what to see in this city if you are going to travel Montreal.

• Mont Royal Park (Chalet) and views from the Chalet du Mont-Royal
• old Montreal (old town) and St Paul Street. You can't miss a stop to try the beaver tails and the visit to Our Lady.
• old port. This area is super nice to walk along the San Lorenzo River. It has an avenue full of small craft stalls and local products, also a ferris wheel, food trucks, bars and in summer you can rent rafts to ride along the river.

• Mile End neighborhood. It is a multicultural and artistic area of ​​​​the city where you will find traditional bagel bakeries, brunch places, cocktail bars, second-hand shops and lots of urban art. Here you will also come across some streets where you can meet Italians, Jews or Greeks.
• The tray and a walk along the avenue of Duluth to Graffiti Alley. Also another super cool area of ​​Montreal full of shops, bars, restaurants and graffiti.
• Centre-Ville or downtown Montreal. In the center is the main shopping street Saint Catherineas well as museums MAC (Museum of Contemporary Art) and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Chinatown is located within centre-ville, so you can take the opportunity to visit it.
• Basilica of St. Joseph. It has one of the largest domes in the world and is the largest church in Canada. We came by bike, not recommended because of the slopes.​

✔ Restaurants in Montreal

• Bagels in Fairmont or in St. Viateur, Mile end. To eat in Montreal we recommend you try the traditional bagels at Fairmont or St. Viateur Bagel. Be careful, there is a café in St. Viateur where they prepare it for you with the ingredients you want. The one on Plateau you can only add butter or Philadelphia.
• Beaver queues or beaver tail, St. Paul, Old Montreal. This is another of Montreal's traditional dishes. In this case we talk about sweet. The taste reminded us of the donuts or churros. Then you can add toppings such as ice cream, apple, maple syrup, etc.
• Brunch at Restaurant B&M, Mile End. If you fancy a super brunch in every rule, or some Eggs Benedict with fruit, you should take this site into account. We found it by chance and we loved it. Jorge The super hero ordered and I ordered the eggs Benedict with goat cheese and avocado.

• food court The central, China town. In the heart of China Town we find great food court in which you can choose practically any type of food and share with your loved ones in a central point. They have pizzas, poke bowls, burritos, Chinese food, Indian food, churros, etc. The site has good atmosphere. We tried the pokés one and it was delicious.
• poutine. It is a traditional dish from the Quebec region. Mainly cheese and a kind of “gravy” sauce made with red wine. You can also add meat or other ingredients. We tried it in Whistler and we didn't like it very much, so we didn't keep trying it hehe. In any case, maybe it wasn't the right place.

Day 13: Montreal-London-Gran Canaria

The last day of our trip was dedicated to buy souvenirs and to visit the St. Joseph's Church by bike. Keep in mind that the souvenir shops in the center, that is, on Sainte Catherine Street, are cheaper than those on St. Paul Street in the old town. On the other hand, in Montreal you can rent the typical city bikes that you pick up at one point and leave at another. However, to go to St. Joseph we do not recommend it since there are some good slopes. And this was our complete itinerary on what to see in Canada. We hope it has been helpful to you 🙂

Video: best places to see in Canada

We leave you with a video report of our trip through Canada in 12 days. Without a doubt, one of the best we have done in our lives. You can subscribe to our YouTube channel here, we upload content weekly 🙂

Best time to travel to Canada

We decided to go in June, since it does not coincide with school holidays and, therefore, the country would be less crowded. Plus, it's much less cold hehe. In any case, we believe that The best months to travel to Canada are from June to September. Especially, if you don't want to find a large part of its lakes, waterfalls and rivers frozen.

Requirements to enter Canada

Finally, we know that you may be concerned about entry requirements to Canada. From Spain you do not need a visa, but you must apply for the ETA for Canada online and pay a small fee before traveling. You will be asked for it before boarding the flight, as well as upon arrival at passport control (it is linked to your document number).

eSIM data card for your trip to Canada

About Us We bought our SIM card in Canada in Toronto. We pay some $56 for 10GB for a single card. Then we shared the internet between us. We use it only for travel-related queries so as not to waste data on the first day: Google maps, restaurants, purchase of tickets, attraction schedules, etc In the places with WIFI we connected and the data lasted until the end of the trip. We had a hard time finding one store that sold us the SIM card. If you don't want the same thing to happen to you, The ideal is to hire it beforehand in companies such as Hellofly who have an eSIM virtual (you just have to scan a QR code).

Also, we have a 5% off for all our readers, valid for any data plan and destination. If we had known Holafly before, we would have contracted with them, They have plans with unlimited data in Canada for 10 days for $37, so see what a difference. In short, we hope that all this information has been helpful to you. If you have any questions, please leave us a comment. This question may also be common for other travelers 🙂 See you on the next trip!
