Explore the Icons and the Unexpected

From natural wonders to iconic cities, the USA and Canada offer endless variety. Whether you’re chasing the lights of New York or the silence of the Rockies, travelling through vineyards or along coastal highways, this region rewards every type of traveller with space, beauty and unforgettable moments.

In the USA, take a road trip through California, explore the jazz and cuisine of the South or hike the national parks of Utah and Arizona. In Canada, discover the cultural mix of Montréal and Vancouver, drive the Icefields Parkway through Alberta or relax lakeside in Ontario’s cottage country. Wildlife, wilderness, world-class cities and wide-open freedom — it’s all here.

Both countries offer excellent infrastructure and huge flexibility for tailor-made travel. Choose self-drives, small-group tours, rail journeys or private guided experiences. Accommodation spans luxury lodges, boutique city hotels, wilderness cabins and stylish beachfront resorts.

The best time to visit depends on your route and interests. Summer is ideal for outdoor adventure, while spring and autumn bring mild weather, fewer crowds and stunning scenery. Winter offers snow-covered magic in the Rockies, Québec and New England, perfect for festive escapes or ski holidays.

Useful Information for your trip to the USA & Canada

Entry Requirements

UK travellers must apply for an ESTA to enter the USA and an eTA to visit Canada. These are electronic travel authorisations and should be arranged before departure. Ensure your passport is valid for the full duration of your stay.

Best Time to Visit

Travel is possible year-round, but the best time depends on the region. Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds in both countries. Summer is ideal for national parks, while winter suits city breaks and ski trips.

Vaccinations

No specific vaccinations are required to enter either the USA or Canada. However, routine immunisations such as tetanus and measles-mumps-rubella should be up to date. Travel insurance with medical cover is essential.

Currency

The United States Dollar (USD) is used in the USA and the Canadian Dollar (CAD) in Canada. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, and contactless payments are common. Tipping is standard in both countries, especially in hospitality services.

Language

English is the primary language in both countries, with French also widely spoken in parts of Canada, particularly in Québec. Most signage, services, and tourist information are available in English throughout.

Electricity

Both countries use plug types A and B, with a voltage of 120V. UK travellers will need an adaptor and should check that their appliances are compatible with the lower voltage.

New York City, USA

Explore iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and Times Square. The city’s energy, arts, and culture make it unforgettable.

Banff & Lake Louise, Canada

In the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park offers turquoise lakes, snow-capped peaks, and scenic drives. A dream for nature lovers.

San Francisco & the Pacific Coast

Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, ride a cable car, and drive the dramatic Highway 1 coast. California’s charm shines in every curve.

Québec City, Canada

This walled city feels like a slice of Europe with cobbled streets, French heritage, and historic architecture. It is charming in every season.

National Parks of the USA

From the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone to Yosemite and Zion, America’s national parks showcase jaw-dropping natural wonders and outdoor adventures at every turn.

Toronto & Niagara Falls

Toronto buzzes with urban culture and international food, while nearby Niagara Falls offers thundering views and scenic boat trips to the base of the falls.

Getting Around

Domestic flights are efficient for long distances. Trains and coaches connect major cities, while car hire is ideal for scenic road trips and rural areas. Cities like New York, Toronto, and Vancouver have excellent public transport systems.

Travel Insurance

Healthcare in both countries is private and costly. Comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical cover is essential, especially in the USA where treatment can be expensive without it.

Packing Essentials

What to pack depends on your season and region, but good walking shoes, layered clothing, and a waterproof jacket are useful year-round. Don’t forget adaptors and sunglasses for high-altitude parks.

Weather Conditions

Expect great variety. Winters can be extremely cold in Canada and the northern USA, while summers in southern states and inland regions can be hot and humid. Always check local forecasts and pack accordingly.

Driving Rules

Driving is on the right-hand side in both countries. Road signs are clear, and rental cars are widely available. Some areas require tolls, and speed is measured in miles per hour in the USA and kilometres per hour in Canada.
