The Canada Travel Guide: 183 Best Things to Do (Printable + iPad)

Canada is six very different regions spread across a country so big that most first trips fall apart on the same question: what is actually worth your limited days and long distances? This guide sorts 183 places, outdoor spots, hikes and foods across Vancouver, Victoria and British Columbia, the Canadian Rockies (Banff, Jasper and Calgary), the Prairies and the North, Toronto, Niagara and Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec, and Atlantic Canada, checked in October 2026 against official sources.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 183 places and experiences, grouped into 24 regions and themes (sights, outdoors, hikes, and food in each of the six regions)
• A short note on every entry: what it is, why it's worth it, and the tip that saves you time
• Ticket, reservation, shuttle and permit rules flagged where they apply (Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, Garibaldi and Joffre Lakes passes, Algonquin fall permits, Parliament Hill tours, Skyline Trail parking and more)
• Honest notes on current conditions and seasons: Jasper's recovery after the 2024 wildfire, Parliament Hill's Centre Block closure, seasonal sites such as L'Anse aux Meadows and Bonaventure Island, and Dempster Highway freeze-up
• A progress page to tally each region as you go
• Two editions in one download:
• Print edition: 35 pages, US Letter (prints cleanly on A4)
• iPad edition: 38 pages for GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app, with a tappable contents page

PERFECT FOR

• First-time visitors choosing between Canadian regions

• A gift for someone with a Canada trip booked
