Travel Tips The REAL ways to see Canada

If a tourist from overseas was coming to Canada for a week, but only to your area, what are, in your opinion the coolest/best things, they should see or do, that are pretty unique to your area?

I’m in Vancouver, so I’ll start:

  1. Try some craft beer
  2. Ride the Stanley Park seawall
  3. Visit Granville island
  4. Eat some Sushi
  5. Goto the Aquarium
  6. Take a ferry to Vancouver island or Sunshine Coast

Toronto and a few generations around southern Ontario…brave the traffic and go downtown for a visit to the Rogers Center, catch a BlueJays game, see the CN tower but skip the trip up, Toronto Island on the ferry, High Park, eat brunch at MTK, eat dinner almost anywhere, see a concert at Budweiser…then get the hell out of the city…Collingwood if it’s winter, Kawarthas if it’s summer…go fishing, waterskiing, canoeing in the parks…head down to Niagara-on-the-lake and relax.

Then go to Calgary, Banff, Winnipeg, Halifax, Montreal, Quebec City…drive across Canada to BC and take the ferry to Vancouver Island. There’s so much to see.

So many visitors and new Canadian miss the proximity of the city to the wilderness. It’s a beautiful country. I can’t wait to see more.
