So you’ve decided to take a road trip around The Great White North, but are unsure where to visit? Have no fear, here we have gathered some of the most well-known, popular and enjoyable recommendations, just for you.
For Beauty
The beauty of Canada is undeniable, and a road-trip would be remiss if it didn’t include at least one stop at one of Canada’s amazing national parks. Despite being called The Great White North, Canada also includes an enormous variety of lush greenery to visit and explore.
In fact, Canada is so bountiful with its beauty that almost any road-trip you take is sure to be lined with snow-capped mountains and verdant forests.
Take it in, go camping if you like, and just remember to go prepared!
For Food
Don’t underestimate the appeal of Canadian cuisine. While many are quick to judge Canada as a place of natural beauty above all else, the quality and variety of food on offer is some of the best in the world.
Inspired by the numerous native and European cultures who settled the vast country, Canada’s multitude of eateries are famed the world over. While you can stop in many road-stops and in any city and find a restaurant to your taste, we would be remiss if we didn’t bring up food in Toronto.
The capital of Ontario is quickly becoming known as one of the best culinary destinations in the world. If you have the budget then make sure to treat yourself. If fancy dining isn’t a part of your road-trip itinerary then have no fear – Canadian local and even fast food has a huge amount on offer.
For Fun
Not content to coast by on its natural beauty and food alone, Canada is home to many large cities and some of the world’s most famed and well-loved adventure and theme parks in the world. You can also take part in Canadian based activities like Multilotto Canada.
If water and slides are your thing, and the coast, lakes, and rivers prove too chilly, you can check out some of Canada’s water parks. If you are passing through Alberta, be sure to check out World Waterpark in Edmonton, which houses the world’s largest indoor wave pool and more than 17 unique waterslides and features.
Rollercoasters and adrenaline more your speed? Canada’s Wonderland, located just north of Toronto, features 70 different rides, including over a dozen roller coasters. For those who think themselves brave enough, they even offer Halloween Haunt’s attractions by night.
For Art and Architecture
Are you looking for inspiration on your journey? Don’t overlook the towns and exhibits offered by a culture rich with native and colonial heritage.
The Art Gallery of Ontario is home to more than 40,000 different works of art, making it one of the 10 largest art museums in North America.
If natural history and interactive exhibits are more your thing then don’t miss the Royal Ontario Museum, which houses almost six million differed objects to see and interact with.
For the Road
When it comes to road-trips, nothing can match the purity of a drive through the heart of some of the most naturally beautiful land on earth. It is the best form of adventure travel. Canada is crossed with thousands of roads which any road-tripper would be happy to take, though there are a few which really stand out.
Sometimes it can be best to take the indirect route, especially if it takes you through areas with the profound beauty of Bow Valley Parkway or the Viking Trail.
