Millionaire Holiday Home Swap: Your Holiday in Canada Guide

Overview

A holiday in Canada is one for the books, as you’ll see in the Paramount+ original series, Millionaire Holiday Home Swap. Whether you want to get out into the wilderness, explore a major metropolis and culture center, or seek adrenaline, Canada has you covered. The world’s second-largest country by landmass has everything from bustling cities like Toronto and Montreal to skiing at Whistler to some of the best national parks in the world. And we’re here to help you discover it all on your next vacation!

Where are the best places to go in Canada?

Banff – Located in Alberta, Banff appeals to outdoors enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you want to backpack through the Canadian Rockies or ski on some of the best slopes in North America, Banff has you covered.

Vancouver – Not far from Seattle, Vancouver somehow perfects the combination of the outdoors and city life. A major cultural center, but if you are looking to explore the wilderness a little bit, there are plenty of options just outside the city.

Toronto – If Canada had something like New York City, it would be Toronto. Somehow fitting multiple types of cultures into one city, Toronto is the perfect weekend trip if you are looking to explore an exciting major city.

Montreal – Old meets new—A combination of modern and old architecture. Travelers can experience everything from European architecture to contemporary art museums.

Niagra Falls – One of the world’s natural beauties, this Ontario attraction is something everyone should witness, whether you’re visiting Canada from afar or you live just across the U.S.-Canada border.

Whistler – A short trip from Vancouver, Whistler is home to one of the largest ski resorts in North America, offering slopes for all levels of experience. And when you’re done carving your way through the snow, take the lift back down into the village, where you can enjoy some of the best après-ski indulgences.

When should you visit Canada?

The best time to visit Canada depends on what you want to do on your holiday. For skiers and snowboarders, one might assume winter is the best time to travel, but the weather can vary drastically in each city. Summertime in Canada boasts beautiful weather but can also mean higher prices and larger crowds. Therefore, the peak time to visit Canada is between September and November. The crowds begin to dissipate, and temperatures start to cool yet remain warm enough to enjoy the Canadian fall.
