A traveller's guide to Canada
While Montréal is renowned for superb fine dining, it's also no secret that its ethnic diversity makes for some delicious casual dining. Try fresh bagels prepared the same way that they were a hundred years ago. Our personal favourite? A heaping pile of smoked meat on rye at...
If you visit Niagara Falls, the first call of duty is obviously: the falls. So we jumped on the Maid of the Mist – it’s a renowned historical attraction that takes you right into the heart of both the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls.
There have been some pretty epic golf trips with our friends in the past, but they all paled in comparison to our trip to Whistler. This could probably be attributed to the fantastic dining, shopping and visits to the pub that interspersed our games.
When we arrived in Vancouver, we were completely blown away by the mountain vistas and the waterfront beaches that literally surround the city. To match a Vancouverite’s active lifestyle, we rented a tandem bike and rode around the 10 km seawall.
We quickly discovered that a trip to Atlantic Canada is best spent on the water. We had a hard time choosing between which water adventure we wanted to do first, with options like whale-watching, sea-kayaking, deep-sea fishing and boat tours.
As a general rule of thumb, the further north you travel the more vivid the northern lights become. Word on the street was that one of the best places to see this amazing natural phenomenon was in the Northwest Territories. Which is exactly where we went.
