Coupon & Deal Blog

I have been one to always place a premium on travel. I usually find a way to make, at the very least, one major excursion a year. However this summer I will not get the opportunity. It’s ok, I’ve accepted it. Rather than making my own plans I can shoot all of you some helpful ideas however. While checking out our summer travel coupons, I noticed Orbitz is offering savings of up to 40% on Canadian vacations. Oh Canada. I’ve been wanting to travel up to Canada for a couple of years now, so decided to get some ideas together on where to travel if The Great White North was in one’s future (hey it’s not snowy and white during the summer, no parkas required!).

Toronto - Although not the national capital, Toronto is the Ontario provincial capital and probably the best-known city in Canada, in large part due to the Toronto International Film Festival and its popularity as a theatre destination. Toronto is comparable to Chicago or New York in that all are big, lively, multicultural cities that offer a lot to visitors. This is a city with a rich heritage that is still apparent in its architecture but has also grown to include diverse, ethnic neighborhoods that thrive in the cities center.

Niagra Falls - While in Ontario and on Canada’s east coast I would definitely visit Niagra Falls, one of the great natural wonders of the world. You can find it just a couple hours drive south of Toronto. Niagara Falls, Ontario, in Canada, is home to the Horseshoe Falls, the most powerful waterfall in North America and possibly the best-known in the world - truly a sight to behold. Niagara Falls is probably best known as a honeymoon destination, attracting millions of newlywed or just plain romantic couples each year. Just remember that attempting to go over the falls in a barrel is not only out of fashion, it is strictly forbidden.

Montreal - Oh yes, one must visit Montreal. The city of Montreal has a history dating back to 1642 when settlers from France landed at the edge of St. Lawrence River. Montreal is unique among cities in North America, comparable perhaps only to New Orleans in the depth and the pervasiveness of its European history. Visitors can enjoy a modern city with all its conveniences, outstanding shopping and dining, but also get a taste of Europe and a glimpse back into Canada’s rich French heritage.

Quebec City - Quebec’s provincial capital, Quebec City, is steeped in history and European in flavor. Quebec City offers an experience unlike almost any other in North America. Quebec City’s Old Town itself is a work of art: Cobblestone walkways, well-preserved 17th century architecture, café culture and the only North American fortress walls that still exist north of Mexico — all of which has given it status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Vancouver - On the south west coast of British Columbia, Canada’s most westerly province, Vancouver is one of Canada’s hottest travel destinations. Vancouver is surrounded both by water and mountains and really holds an appeal to lover’s of outdoor adventure. That being said, this is also a cosmopolitan city that also has upscale shopping, fabulous restaurants and a happening nightlife. I’ve been to Vancouver, it is a seriously cool town. I heartily recommend it.

While the chaps from South Park make me laugh, I don’t share their views on Canada! Go enjoy yourselves.
