Thinking About Canada?
Nature, Culture and Space to Breathe
We’d love to help you plan your perfect trip
A Land of Boundless Beauty and Warm Hospitality
Canada is one of the world’s great travel destinations, offering incredible natural scenery, multicultural cities and a friendly, relaxed spirit. From the Rockies to the Atlantic Coast, from arctic tundra to vineyard valleys, Canada rewards those who explore its wide-open spaces and diverse regions.
Ride the rails through the Rocky Mountains, paddle across turquoise lakes in Banff, or follow wildlife trails in British Columbia’s rainforests. In the east, stroll cobbled streets in Québec City, enjoy the café culture of Montréal or take in Niagara Falls from the Canadian side. Whether you’re seeking adventure, culture or calm, Canada delivers in style.
Travel in Canada can include self-drive holidays, luxury rail journeys, wilderness lodges or city breaks. It’s easy to combine regions by air or land, with a range of accommodation options from boutique inns to remote eco-retreats. Each season brings something different, from winter sports and festivals to colourful autumn forests and long summer days.
The best time to visit depends on your destination. Summer is ideal for national parks, lakes and coastal regions. Autumn brings vibrant foliage and fewer crowds. Winter transforms the landscape for skiing, dog sledding and cosy lodge escapes, while spring is perfect for wildlife and seasonal blooms.
With Nexus Travel, we help you design a Canadian journey that matches your vision. Whether it’s a cross-country rail trip, a week in the mountains or a tailored city-to-nature itinerary, we’ll handle the planning so your experience is seamless, meaningful and unforgettable.

Entry Requirements
UK passport holders need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) to fly to Canada. It is quick to arrange online and valid for five years. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay.
Best Time to Visit
Canada is a year-round destination. Summer (June to August) is best for outdoor adventures, while winter (December to March) is perfect for skiing and snow sports. Autumn offers colourful foliage, and spring brings mild weather and fewer crowds.
Vaccinations
No specific vaccines are required for travel to Canada. Routine immunisations such as tetanus, measles, and hepatitis A are recommended. Travel insurance with medical cover is strongly advised due to the high cost of healthcare.
Currency
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is the official currency. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, including contactless payments. Tipping is customary in restaurants, taxis, and hotels, generally at 15 to 20 percent.
Language
English and French are both official languages. English is spoken throughout most of the country, while French is widely used in Québec and some eastern provinces. Tourist services are available in English nationwide.
Electricity
Canada uses plug types A and B with a voltage of 120V. UK travellers will need a travel adaptor and should check their devices are compatible with lower voltage.
Banff & Lake Louise
Located in the Canadian Rockies, this region offers stunning turquoise lakes, alpine trails, and glacier views. A dream destination for outdoor lovers and photographers alike.

One of the world’s most famous natural wonders, Niagara Falls delivers powerful views, boat trips to the base of the falls, and a lively waterfront experience.

Jasper National Park
Less crowded than Banff but equally spectacular, Jasper is a haven of wilderness, lakes, and wildlife. A great stop along the Icefields Parkway.
Getting Around
Canada is vast, so internal flights can save time. Train travel is scenic, especially on the Rocky Mountaineer or VIA Rail routes. Car hire is ideal for exploring regions like the Rockies or the Maritimes.
Travel Insurance
Healthcare in Canada is high quality but not free for visitors. Travel insurance with medical cover is essential, including emergency treatment and cancellation protection.
Packing Essentials
Dress in layers, especially if visiting mountain areas or travelling across seasons. Waterproof outerwear, comfortable walking shoes, and sun protection are must-haves. Winters are cold, so bring insulated clothing.
Weather Conditions
Weather varies greatly depending on the region and season. Summers can be hot and dry, while winters bring snow and freezing temperatures. Always check the forecast before you travel.
Driving Advice
Driving is on the right-hand side. Roads are well maintained, but distances can be long. Winter driving requires extra care, and snow tyres or chains may be needed in mountainous areas.
Accessibility
Major cities and attractions are accessible to travellers with limited mobility. Many national parks also offer wheelchair-friendly trails and facilities. Check ahead if visiting remote or rural areas.
Second Largest Country
Canada is the second largest country in the world by land area. Its diversity of landscapes ranges from towering mountains to rolling prairies and Arctic tundra.
Multicultural Cities
Canada prides itself on multiculturalism. Toronto, Vancouver, and Montréal are rich in global culture, food, and festivals, offering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
Wildlife Encounters
From bears and moose to whales and wolves, Canada’s national parks offer unforgettable wildlife experiences. Always view animals safely and respectfully in their natural habitats.
Maple Syrup Capital
Canada produces more than 70 percent of the world’s maple syrup, with Québec leading the way. Sugar shacks are popular in spring during the tapping season.
Four Distinct Seasons
Canada has four distinct seasons, each offering something unique. Visit for summer adventures, golden autumn leaves, winter sports, or spring blooms and festivals.

What can I do in Canada besides sightseeing?
Canada is ideal for outdoor adventure. You can hike, canoe, kayak, ski, snowboard, cycle, whale-watch, dog-sled or even go bear spotting. Try ice-skating on a frozen lake, zip-lining through forests, or experiencing Indigenous culture and storytelling. There are world-class art galleries and museums, foodie scenes in cities like Montreal and Vancouver, and plenty of opportunities to sample Canadian delicacies like maple syrup, poutine and fresh Atlantic seafood.

Canada pairs well with the USA, especially cities like New York, Boston, or Chicago. You can also combine eastern Canada with New England for a scenic coastal holiday, or western Canada with Alaska for a cruise adventure. Within Canada, consider a twin-centre break between Toronto and Niagara Falls, or Vancouver and the Rockies. You could also link French-speaking Quebec with Ontario for a cultural contrast. For a winter break, combine a ski resort with a city stay.
