How to Travel in Canada: A Guide with Routes

Canada 🇨🇦 is a large country, so today I'm going to recommend a few travel routes, from Vancouver on the west coast to Toronto and Montreal in the east. Remember to save this post: · 1⃣️ Western Natural Scenery Route (10–12 days) 📍 Vancouver: Visit Stanley Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge, and Granville Island. Spend 1–2 days here. 📍 Whistler (1.5 hours from Vancouver): Go skiing, mountain biking, or hiking. Spend 1–2 days here. 📍 Banff National Park: Fly from Vancouver to Calgary, then head to Banff National Park. Visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, and enjoy the hot springs in Banff. 📍 Jasper National Park: Travel from Banff to Jasper. Visit the Columbia Icefield and Glacier Skywalk, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. 📍 Icefields Parkway: A road connecting Banff and Jasper, known as one of the most beautiful scenic roads in the world. · 2⃣️ Eastern Cultural Exploration Route (7–10 days) 📍 Toronto: Visit the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, and Royal Ontario Museum, or head to the Toronto Islands to enjoy the city views. You can also spend a day at Niagara Falls and take a boat tour. 📍 Ottawa: Canada's capital.

Majestic Nature Power of Niagara Falls

#naturalwonders Visiting Niagara Falls was an unforgettable experience. The sheer power and beauty of the falls are even more breathtaking in person than I had imagined. Standing near the edge, I could feel the mist and hear the thunderous roar of the cascading water, which created a truly awe-inspiring atmosphere. The surrounding parks and viewpoints offer fantastic photo opportunities and a chance to take in the falls from different perspectives. I also enjoyed exploring nearby attractions and taking a boat tour that brought me up close to the roaring waters. Niagara Falls is a must-see natural wonder that offers a profound sense of nature's grandeur and an exhilarating experience. #travel #myhiddengems #hiddengem #100waysoftravel #canada #waterfall #trip

Niagara Fallsview Marriott Hotel: The 'Ceiling' Overlooking the Magnificent View of Niagara Falls

I am a sea-viewing and wave-listening tour+ global traveler, please follow me! (Published the 1686th travel photography article in 1005 cities across 56 countries/regions on 5 continents) There are several Marriott hotels in Niagara Falls city, but the Niagara Fallsview Marriott Hotel & Spa is the 'ceiling' that overlooks the entire panorama of Niagara Falls, and it's truly amazing!!! The hotel is located on the top of the mountain right next to Horseshoe Falls, very close to the waterfall. The view is the best among all the hotels. The biggest highlight here is that you can see the full view of the three sub-waterfalls of Niagara Falls (Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls) from the room, and it's an overlooking view, needless to say how cool it is! At night, the giant multicolored spotlights surrounding the great falls suddenly light up, and as the light colors change, the water turns from milky white to light red, from light red to light blue... Sitting in front of the window in the room, you can see this colorful and enchanting, unique waterfall light show among the world's famous waterfalls, what an experience! The next morning, you can also lie in bed quietly and watch the sunrise alone, aren't you envious?

The world's largest transnational waterfall - Niagara Falls

After four years, seeing Niagara Falls again, without snow and sunshine, the majestic Niagara Falls still retains its powerful presence. The roaring sound of thousands of horses is incessant, and the spray is mixed with the endless flow of time, year after year. I personally recommend staying at the Hilton Hotel, where from the upper floors you can see the waterfalls of both countries, and even have a full view of the American city across the river. The sightseeing tower is all in sight, which is really super awesome.

Train and sky view

On the Canada side of Niagara we took the incline train from the tablerock cafe to go visit the skylon tower. It is also accessible by the wego buses. The train ride is a nice short ride up the hill. From there you can walk to skylon tower. You walk pass a hotel and casino. You purchase tickets before entering the tower. The tower also has a restaurant inside but we opt out of the option. When you line up to ride the elevator, they take pictures and at the end you can purchase them with different backgrounds. They also have arcade games when you first enter. Once you get to the top, you have a beautiful view of the two falls and the city. There is a gift shop on the observation deck too. When you go down you take a different elevator and see the falls as you go down. #niagarafalls #canada #ontario #Skylontower #Inclinerailway

Summer in the gardens

#summerbreak Niagara on the Canada side. This is the floral showroom in Niagara Park. It is about a 12 minute walk from the view of the two falls and tablerock cafe. If you are at a different part of the park they have Wego buses that can take you there as long as you have a bus pass. It is a small garden. In the greenhouse they have desert plants and some flowers. Outside they have little models of homes. I believe they reflect the homes of Ontario. #niagarafalls #canadaside #garden #niagarapark #ontario #canada

Niagara Falls

We drove from Buffalo to Niagara area of Ontario by crossing rainbow bridge. After dropping off the luggages in the hotel, we went to take boat right away. The feeling of being surrounded by the powerful rush of water is truly breathtaking. You'll feel the mist on your face and the roar of the falls in your ears, creating a sensory experience like no other. And, the view of the falls from the boat is simply amazing!!!

Beautiful falls

We travelled to Canada in September via trip.com. We managed to book a coach on the megabus website and it toon us out on a day trip to visit Niagra falls. They were amazing from the Canadian side. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and definitely recommend it. Theres a cafe nearby so you can get a nice warm drink after as the falls can be a little chilly.

Magnificent falls between 🇺🇸🇨🇦border

I went to Niagara Falls on Canada side from Toronto by bus. I left from Union station around 12.30 and arrived at 15.00. I strolled around and took ton of pictures. The first impression was breathtaking. While waiting, I bought the extra ticket to enter the rear side of falls. Absolutely worth it. Then after sun set, there were lights illuminating. Love it.

Niagara Falls Ontario

Elevators take visitors to a lower, wetter vantage point behind the falls. #niagarafalls #ontario

Niagara fall Downtown Canada Side

#celebratewithtrip Niagara Falls on the Canadian side is easily accessible by car, being only about 1.5 hours away from downtown Toronto. The most iconic site to visit is the Niagara Falls it is an impressive landmark, being the most powerful waterfall in North America after all. It is the main reason why you’ve ventured here. Another must go is the Entertainment District.This neighborhood is lively and robust. Spend a few hours wandering through Niagara’s entertainment district to enjoy the live music and spot interesting, whacky-looking buildings. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite. There are fine dining restaurants, international cuisines, seafood bistros, steakhouses, bars, fast food places, so many options to choose from. For me I have been to both the Canadian and the American side and the Canadian side definitely is more fun side to stay in.

Niagara Fall in the winter! it is cold , but still beautiful!

Welcome to the Upside Down House. Upside Down House is located right in Clifton Hill for your fun and convenience. The House was built in 2012 and has been around since!

You can be very creative with your pictures because you have to adjust the angles in order to have a nice output. It's such a great tourist attraction and neat artistic scene.

Amazing Experience

We arrived by car with our Canadian friends, we walked around 1.5km to see the Niagara Falls. There are so many good foods, ice cream, attractions etc, we need to control ourselves from wanting to buy everything 😅. It was hot during summer but the wind is cold. We could just relax at the park and enjoy the scenery without paying anything byt with around 45CAD we decided to join the hornblower Niagara, it was an amazing experience for us especially when had a chance to be so near to the falls. the wind and water dripped on our face, it was spectacular. and we could see the rainbows, it was so beautiful and unforgettable moment. #niagarafalls #holidayvacation #summervacation

Skylon Tower brunch and Niagara Falls

one of the best way to see the Niagara Falls is to dine at the top of the Skylon Tower. There is one revolving restaurant and one buffet restaurant at the top two levels of the tower, right below the observing deck where diners can go there for free. The food and service is above average and the experience is priceless!

Majestic Niagara Falls, US

Niagara Falls, US Side Niagara Falls is majestic, huge and water flow is very high. There are various activities can be done there- Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Mist.

For each activity they provide raincoat and sandals to avoid getting wet but due to heavy water flow and wind it’s impossible to avoid getting drenched. When it’s sunny and due to water droplets you can easily see rainbows around Niagara falls. It’s better to use discounted or club activity pass to save money.

Our 1 day trip to Niagara (Canada)

We didn't have a car when we went to Niagara Falls, so we took the bus from Toronto to Niagara. We didn't realise there was a point-to-point bus at the time, so we took three stops and different buses. We had a great day photographing the Niagara Falls and the Clifton Hills, which resembles a mini-Vegas but with more kid-friendly attractions.#canada #travel #falls #niagarafalls

Niagara falls

Niagara Falls is a group of large waterfalls that are located in the Niagara river on the eastern coast of the United States and Canada. They are located on the border between the two countries, and are composed of three waterfalls. These three waterfalls are the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the Horseshoe Falls. While these waterfalls are not very high, they are quite wide. Over 5 million cubic feet of water will fall down in a single minute. It is one of the most popular waterfalls in the world, and is the most powerful in the North American continent. Niagara Falls is a well known site that is a popular tourist attraction. In addition to this, Niagara Falls is known for the hydroelectric power it provides, and the spot was chosen as potential source of power by Nikola Tesla, the famous inventor. A memorial has also been built for him at the site. The three waterfalls are shared by three cities, and these are Niagara Falls, Ontario, and the dual cities of Niagara Falls, New York. It is believed that Niagara Falls formed during a period that is called the Wisconsin glaciation, a period that ended over 9,000 years ago. The Wisconsin glaciation was a large glacier that connected the area with Canada.
