Canada

Located in the northern part of North America, Canada is the second-largest country in the world and one of the most spectacular destinations for nature lovers. From the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes, from vibrant cities to endless forests, it offers extraordinary landscapes and a wide variety of travel experiences throughout the year.

On Miranda Loves Travelling, this page brings together all our articles dedicated to this immense country, based entirely on our personal travel experiences. Here you will find cities, national parks, landscapes, restaurants, traditional food, photographs and practical travel tips to help you plan your trip.

Where is it?

Canada occupies much of North America and borders the United States to the south. It is bordered by the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans and has one of the longest coastlines in the world. Its enormous size creates an extraordinary variety of landscapes and climates.

What to see

Canada offers some of the most spectacular natural wonders on the planet. Niagara Falls, the Rocky Mountains, Banff and Jasper National Parks, emerald-coloured lakes and vast forests are among its most famous attractions. Cities such as Toronto, Montréal, Québec City and Vancouver add cultural and architectural interest to the journey.

In our articles, we describe the places we have personally visited, together with photographs and useful travel information.

The cities we have visited

Each Canadian city has its own unique character. Toronto is the country’s most dynamic metropolis, Montréal fascinates visitors with its French-speaking atmosphere, Québec City preserves one of the best historic centres in North America, while Vancouver combines sea and mountains in a spectacular setting. In this section you will find all the cities featured on Miranda Loves Travelling, with monuments, attractions and our travel impressions.

Nature and landscapes

Canada is one of the world’s great destinations for nature lovers. Mountains, glaciers, lakes, forests, rivers and national parks offer spectacular scenery in every season. Wildlife, including bears, moose, whales and many other species, makes every trip even more exciting.

National parks

The national parks are one of Canada’s greatest natural treasures. Banff, Jasper and many other protected areas allow visitors to explore mountains, crystal-clear lakes, glaciers and some of the most beautiful scenic trails in the world.

When to visit

Canada can be visited throughout the year, although each season offers different experiences.

Spring

Spring brings milder temperatures and landscapes waking up after the long winter, making it a good time to visit cities and parks.

Summer

Summer is the best time to explore national parks, go hiking and visit much of the country.

Autumn

Autumn offers spectacular foliage, especially in the eastern regions.

Winter

Winter transforms Canada into one of the best destinations in the world for skiing, snow sports and snowy landscapes.

How to get there

Canada is connected with Europe, Asia and the United States through many international flights to airports such as Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa.

Getting around

Because of the country’s enormous size, domestic flights are often the most practical way to cover long distances. To visit national parks and natural areas, renting a car offers the greatest freedom.

Traditional food

Canadian cuisine reflects French, British and local influences. Among the best-known specialities are poutine, maple syrup, Pacific salmon, grilled meats and traditional desserts. Each province also offers its own recipes and regional products.

During our travels we tried different restaurants and local specialities, which we describe in the dedicated articles.
