Planning your Canada trip
Best time to go: June, July and August bring generally warm weather to the most populated parts of Canada. Winters are harsh in most places, while coastal British Columbia is milder.
- Banff and Jasper national parksThese famous Alberta parks showcase the Rocky Mountains.
- Haida Gwaii and Vancouver IslandThese parts of British Columbia offer wilderness and coastal scenery.
- Quebec City and MontrealBoth cities have historic areas and notable architecture. Old Quebec City still has its original city walls.
- Ottawa-GatineauThe national capital area has a large collection of museums.
Scams to watch for in Canada
- Misleading claims about locally made souvenirsSouvenirs and crafts are marketed as typically Quebecois, but the small print often says they were made in China. A local-looking design does not mean an item was made locally.
- Tourist-shop maple syrup markupsTourist shops can charge much more for maple syrup. In Ottawa, a bottle at the farmers' market can cost half as much as the same bottle in a souvenir shop. In Quebec City, small glass bottles in tourist shops carry a premium, while larger plastic bottles in supermarkets offer better value. A clearly displayed high price is not, by itself, fraud.
- Car theftCar theft is a notable property-crime concern in Montreal. No particular stealing method is described.
