So, where next?
Vast and untamed, Canada is the last green wilderness.
A huge country, stretching all the way from the Pacific in the west to the Atlantic in the east. There's skiing at Whistler, culture and history in the city of Montreal, entertainment and shopping in Vancouver and Toronto, plus some of the most fantastic scenery you will ever see, including the Rocky Mountains and Niagara Falls.
Crystal-clear lakes, bustling metropolises and pristine mountainous beauty spots are all in easy reach on package holidays to Canada. Whether it's a city break in the French-speaking east, a skiing trip in the unspoilt Rockies, or an energetic hike on Vancouver Island, the largest country in the Americas is packed with activities for everyone.

Holidays to Canada aren’t all about mountains and wilderness; if you prefer your breaks at a slightly faster pace, there are plenty of fascinating cities to get to know.
Toronto has been described as the Canadian version of NYC, thanks to its cosmopolitan shopping districts, world-class theatre and stunning skyline. The CN Tower is a great place to see the city from up high – give yourself at least three hours to make the trip as queues can be long.
Vancouver, aka ‘Van City’ combines the outdoor life with a vibrant city. Explore Beacon Hill Park, the historic James Bay and North America’s second oldest Chinatown in the provincial capital of Victoria, on Vancouver Island. Walk down Fan Tan Alley, the city’s narrowest street at just 0.9 metres wide.
Experience the laid-back chic of French Canada in Montreal – the largest francophone city in the world after Paris. Here, intimate bistros contrast with a vibrant club scene. Make sure you stop by the nineteenth-century Notre-Dame Basilica to see breath-taking art and architecture both inside and out.
With snowy weather and lots of mountainous ground, Canada is one of the top countries in the world for skiing. There are plenty of resorts to explore for both pros on the slopes or beginners who fancy trying their hand.
Here you have one of Canada's most reliable snow records and it's easy to reach, at only two hours from Calgary Airport. For something a little different, take the nighttime snowshoe expedition – little ones will love it.
Offering world-class skiing – Whistler was the mountain host for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The village is pedestrian-only, making for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Canada is renowned for its vast swathes of wilderness, from frozen tundra to towering mountains. Even if you're on a city break, you're rarely far from undeveloped countryside.
Located in Banff National Park, this is a must-see for nature lovers. The turquoise waters make for a beautiful photo op. And you can get exceptional views just a ten-minute hike from the car park so your trip can be as energetic or laid-back as you like.
One of the most world-renowned natural sights in the country. The three waterfalls are right on the American-Canadian border, with Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, American Falls on the US side and Bridal Veil Falls split between the two.
For outdoor activities, head to Stanley Park, Vancouver, where the mountains meet the sea. It's a green oasis admist the urban city with spectacular views and an endless amount of things to do. Visit in September to admire the changing colours of the scenery.
From vibrant cities to rugged mountains, package holidays to Canada aren’t short of new places to explore and things to see. Plan your break now and book in at one of our Canada hotels.
Canada is a huge country - bigger than the USA even, but with fewer people, more moose, and a whole heap of potential road trips that’ll take you through some of the best scenery in the world.
Partnered with Hertz, we can offer you car hire all over the country, with some fantastic benefits, including:
June is a great time to spot whales on the Atlantic coast! July through to August is peak summer for Canada, when you can expect the highest temperatures. There are plenty of summer festivals to check out.
The autumn months can get chilly but it stays fairly mild until late November. You also get to see the beautiful changing colours of the leaves – New Brunswick's a favourite for its gold and red foliage.
Canada is famous for its snowy winters, making it the ideal spot for skiing and snow sports, especially in British Columbia and Québec. January in particular is pretty cold, so make sure you take your thermals
The nature is starting to emerge from the colder months, but it's still a great time for skiing. Days are longer in April and, with sunny blue skies, the weather is becoming quite pleasant - particularly on the West Coast.

The flight duration from the UK to Canada varies depending on your departure and arrival cities, but on average, it takes around 7 to 9 hours for a direct flight.
The cheapest time to visit Canada typically falls during the shoulder seasons—the periods between the peak travel seasons when you can find lower prices for flights, accommodation, and activities.
October to November and March to April are generally the shoulder seasons. Flights tend to be cheaper on weekdays, particularly Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when demand is lower. Avoid weekends, especially around holidays, when prices tend to spike.
