Explore the crescendo of Niagara Falls, experience exhilarating winter sports and delve inside amazing cities filled with history, culture, art and fantastic food.
From the mountains to the glaciers, the sports stadiums to the islands off the coast – Canada is a nation of sensations and sights that will live with you forever.
Embrace the outdoors
Whether it’s skiing, snowboarding or sightseeing, Canada is complete with great places to get your fix. Perhaps you want to stand in the spray of Niagara Falls with its all-enveloping mist for a grand spectacle. Or maybe you want to spot moose and bears in the true wild – it’s all readily available with car rental.
In Nova Scotia, Canada car rental comes into its own as you wind your way through the Cabot Trail, crossing cliffs and meandering past lakes, old churches and national parks. It’s one of the country’s great drives.
To the far west is Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site, a UNESCO site spanning over 100 islands. Here you’ll discover an ancient village captured in time, hot springs, totem poles and valuable glimpse at the history of the area’s original people.
City living
Canada’s proud cities all have their own flavour, from Montreal’s je ne sais quoi to Toronto’s soaring skyline. What they have in common, however, is that they all blend sympathetically with their surroundings, whether they’re surrounded by rivers, lakes or edged up against mountains.
In Vancouver, you can enjoy urban life one day, from the lively Main Street to the authentic Gastown. Then catch a Skyride to ascend Grouse Mountain, enjoy gastronomical food with a stunning view and ski back down it again. Drop into Montreal for its famous jazz festival or be captivated by the 17th-century cobbled streets of the true capital of French Canada, Quebec City.
Ottawa charms with its Gothic parliament, its pretty river and some of the nation’s very best art galleries and museums. Here you’ll find the National Gallery, Canadian Museum of History, Canadian Children’s Museum and Canadian War Museum. Come in winter and join the locals ice-skating on the frozen Rideau Canal.
In Alberta, the cities of Edmonton and Calgary await, fringed with the glory of nature. They epitomise the juxtaposition you’ll find across Canada – urban smarts and brilliant night life on the doorstep of the Banff and Jasper National Parks.
Idle away the morning in a museum or enjoy brunch made of perfect local produce, before walking on a glacier or spotting mountain lions in the afternoon.
With car rental in Canada, anything is possible.
