Things to Know Before Planning a Road Trip in Canada

  • When to visit: summer is the best time to visit Canada but it’s also the busiest and most expensive. Consider visiting Alberta, Quebec and Ontario in fall to experience the beautiful foliage.
  • How long to stay: Canada is huge (second largest country in the world), so you won’t manage to see it all in one visit. Overall, you should plan at least 10 days, with a focus on specific provinces, such as British Columbia or Alberta.
  • Where to stay: Decide early if you’ll be camping, booking hotels or staying in an RV. Accommodations in popular areas, such as Banff and Tofino, are expensive and book up months in advance during the peak season.
