Canada is a country where the map dictates the itinerary. The eastern cities — Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, Ottawa — sit within reach of each other and carry French and British colonial history; the west, around Vancouver and the Rockies, is about mountains, coast and parks; and the distance between the two halves is a flight, not a drive.
The guides collected here cover Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, Vancouver and other destinations, with a countrywide overview. Season shapes everything: mountain park roads and trails are fully open roughly June through September, Quebec winters are long and genuinely cold, and autumn foliage in the east peaks for a short window in late September and October that draws its own crowds.
