Travel tips
What to know before you go
Straight from our notes on Canada: costs, getting around, where to stay and what to skip.
Per day. Prices from our trips; check current rates before you book.
transportation
Getting around in Canadian cities is quite easy with a mix of transportation apps as well as easy to navigate public transportation. Outside of the cities, you may want to rent a car to travel from place to place or Greyhound bus services are also available. Canada also has a train system that runs from East Coast to West Coast.
We recommend car or camper rentals for a more independent travel experience.
when to visit
All territories of Canada will be beautiful in the summers, but be aware that the better the weather is, the more crowds there will be. If traveling to more touristy locations, make sure to travel in off seasons such as May or September and try to avoid weekends.
safety
Hitchhiking is quite popular in Canada, so if you decide to take this route of travel, be sure to constantly be aware of your surroundings and we don't recommend hitchhiking alone. Use apps such as hitchwiki.org which is a verified and legal source for safe hitchhiking.

what to pack
If traveling in the summer, the days are warm and the nights can get quite cold. Layers will be necessary to stay comfortable! If traveling in the winter, you'll need a nice warm winter coat, hat, mittens, and boots for sure. Will so many essentials for comfortable travel, we recommend grabbing travel compression cubes to help save space. Check them out at trippedtravelgear.com!
