Canada’s climate is as diverse as its landscape – the best time to visit depends on where you’re going and what sort of adventure you want. The weather is usually warm from early May to late September and very cold in winter. For winter sports, mountain conditions are best from mid-December to early March.

As you’d expect with such an enormous country, temperatures vary massively from region to region so it’s important to check the local situation before booking your Canada flight tickets.

The temperature and rainfall figures shown here are for Toronto.

The wonderful, wild west

Canada’s western provinces lay claim to some of the world’s most stunning landscapes. The Rocky Mountains are home to Banff and Jasper, two of Alberta’s most famous national parks, where crystal-blue lakes are surrounded by dramatic peaks and miles of pristine forest.

Further west, British Columbia offers more natural wonders, from the wild coastline of Vancouver Island to the mountain paradise of Whistler Blackcomb, where skiers and mountain bikers flock in their thousands depending on the season.

Markets and mountains in Montreal

Flights to Montreal take you to the heartland of French-speaking Quebec. Montreal is one of the most-visited Canadian cities – a cosmopolitan place with a European flair. Expect great food on every corner – Montreal markets offer bagels packed full of brisket or poutine, probably the most famous French-Canadian dish. Enjoy fries piled high with cheese, then drizzled with gravy.

No visit to Montreal is complete without climbing Mount Royal. The city’s namesake, this mountain provides the best possible view of Montreal and the surrounding province. You can hike, run or cycle up the hill, and in the winter toboggan back down, all 764 feet (232 metres).

City living to country escape

Ontario is famous for its great lakes and charming cottage country, which is easily accessible from major towns and cities. If you fly into Toronto, don’t miss the majestic Niagara Falls, which crashes into the namesake river only an hour’s drive south of the city centre.

If you’re craving some big city excitement, spend a few days in Toronto to immerse yourself in the buzz of Canada’s biggest metropolis, or visit Ottowa, Canada’s capital city, to tour the parliament buildings.

Things to know before you fly to Canada

Getting around

Canada is a large country but is a joy to travel due to its wonderful landscape. Car hire is widely available from major cities and towns and is the best way to see the country as intercity rail services are scarce. Bus services also run regularly between major cities.

Local currency

The Canadian dollar (CAD) is used across the entire country and a single Canadian dollar divides into 100 cents. Debit and credit cards – including contactless cards – are also widely used across Canada.

Languages spoken

Canada is bilingual, with English and French enjoying equal status as national languages. English is the most commonly-spoken language in all provinces except for Quebec, where French is most widely spoken.

Plugs

Canada uses plug types A and B, which is the same as the United States of America with a standard voltage of 120V and frequency of 60Hz. Pack a plug adaptor should you require one.
