Canada Canada - The True North Strong and Free

Whether you love the great outdoors, the arts and culture scene, the sports or the many seasonal festival there are many reasons to fall in love with Canada. Let"s take a look at some of the unforgettable experiences you can have while renting holiday accommodation there.
Canada is a vast country, filled with mountains, lakes, forests, rivers, maple syrup, hockey rinks, moose, beavers, and famously friendly people. Canadians are known around the world for being as warm and welcoming as their winters are cold - so you will likely experience many examples of locals going out of their way to make you feel at home during your trip.

Enjoy the Canadian City Life

In addition to its natural wonders, including the gargantuan Niagara Falls, the awe-inspiring glacial lakes and snow-capped peaks of the Rockies and the 80 metre tall trees of Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, Canada also boasts some fantastic cities. Toronto has a buzzing culinary scene and excellent live theatre, Montreal is famous for its nightlife and festivals, Calgary has Wild West charm with a modern twist and Vancouver is an idyllic West Coast hangout with beautiful natural surroundings and an eco-friendly vibe.

Test Your Limits with Outdoor Activities

If you are looking for action and adventure on your holiday, Canada will give you the chance to enjoy an adrenaline rush. Try white water rafting on the Kicking Horse River in British Columbia, or walking on a glacier in the mountains of Alberta. Go canoeing and fishing on the lakes of Saskatchewan and Manitoba or take a hiking trip in the forests of British Columbia. There"s also the East Coast to explore, with its friendly fishing villages, rocky beaches and tranquil bays.

Enjoy the Festival Spirit on Canada Day

Consider renting your holiday home in Canada in July so that you can take part in the Canada Day celebrations. On the 1st of July every year Canadians celebrate the birthday of their nation with fireworks, barbeques, live music and dancing. Canada Day events are held in almost every town and city across the country, so no matter where you stay you can join in on the excitement.

A Few Things to Know About Renting Holiday Property in Canada

    • Think about the season in which you plan your visit. Winter will be freezing cold, but will offer world-class skiing and other winter sports. Summer brings the best weather, yet the prices for holiday rentals will be highest during this peak season. Consider visiting during September when the weather is still warm yet the summer peak season is winding down.
    • Some places in Canada can be quite remote, especially holiday cottages in areas surrounded by nature. Make sure you find out how you will reach your rental property, as it might not be accessible by public transit. Sometimes even asking if the cottage or cabin is accessible from a main road is not a silly question.
    • Canada is far too large to cover in one holiday, unless you have several weeks to travel across it. Instead, choose one region and explore it in detail, such the rainforests and vineyards of British Columbia, the French culture of Quebec or the Rocky Mountains and rugged bad-lands of Alberta.
