Canada is always a good idea! What is there not to love in this huge country? Picture-perfect large cities full of intriguing museums, vibrant parks and excellent restaurants. The outdoor activities offered there guarantee that you will have the best time of your life. And there are at least four reasons to visit Canada this winter.
Yes, Canada gets pretty cold in winter. But you shouldn’t let that stop you from going on this once-in-a-lifetime trip as there are legitimate ways to avoid the cold. First and foremost, there is a great public transport system that will get you right outside your desired destination. Of course, you can also rent a car and explore Canada in the comfort —and warmth— of a car. Enjoy Travel is the website you need in order to compare cars and prices, and rent the one that is perfect for you on the spot, online. Don’t forget to check that the car has A/C. And of course, you need to pack your warmest clothes. Then, you will be ready to discover why Canada is worth visiting in winter.
Reason 1: The PATH
Would you be interested in going shopping at an underground mall? I hope that your answer is positive because PATH is a place that you would have to visit during your trip to Canada anyway. That is actually the largest underground shopping complex in the whole world. You will find internationally known brands, cute boutiques and local businesses there. You can also grab a meal at dazzling restaurants there. And of course, the atmosphere in the whole shopping mall is all warm and cosy.
Reason 2: Magical Christmas in Canada
If you love Christmas, then you will have the most amazing time in Canada during this special season. Canadians are experts at Christmas decorations. Lights will be everywhere, all kinds of trees will be turned into Christmas ones, store windows will have Christmas decorations —similarly to all kinds of buildings and houses. You shouldn’t miss the Santa Claus Parade in Toronto, the Parade of Lights in Vancouver and the Festival of Lights in Airdrie.
Reason 3: Great Off-Season Deals
It is not a secret that just flying to Canada may cost a fortune for most people. For example, a European citizen usually pays about 700€ or even more only for airplane tickets to Canada. However, the months before and after Christmas, meaning October or November and January or February respectively, special and economical deals tend to come up because not many people travel during those months. Thus, not only will you save a few bucks on flying —or whatever currency you use— but also you will get to go to Canada when it is not crowded with other tourists.
Reason 4: Go Skiing
One of the best things to do in any country in winter is skiing. And Canada is the best place to practise. Whistler Blackcomb is one of the best ski resorts in Canada. It is located in British Columbia, and it is definitely worth the drive. The snow-sure pistes, the festive atmosphere and the plethora of outdoor and indoor activities will make you enjoy every single second there.
