You may not think of Canada as a place for a romantic getaway, but the truth is that some of the most gorgeous terrain in the world can be found there. Montreal is consistently voted one of the most livable cities in the world and is home to at least a dozen exquisite museums and galleries where you can view art and artifacts from all over the world.
Vancouver, British Columbia has so many amazing attractions that it’s hard to name them all. One of the most memorable would be the Treetop Adventures Tour which is a tour of the 7 incredible suspension bridges in Vancouver. The Capilano Suspension Bridge is one of Vancouver’s top tourist attractions. Imagine walking 450 feet above a lush rain forest with your sweetheart.
Below, we highlight a few other unforgettable Canadian romantic getaways:
Victoria, British Columbia
Victoria is the capital city and is located on the tip of Vancouver Island. This picturesque place has a mild climate so that you can enjoy strolling along its pristine beaches or the Inner Harbor. Victoria is well known for its flower gardens, especially Butchart Gardens, which bloom profusely year round. You will also enjoy their many diverse museums, galleries and art exhibits.
You can explore the city in a number of unusual ways. In Victoria you’ll find the double-decker bus, water taxi and horse-drawn carriage just to name a few. Or perhaps you’ll want to visit the “Graveyard of the Pacific”, Fisgard Lighthouse. End your romantic vacation in Victoria with a day-long boat tour of the Orca whales. Whale watching is an exhilarating and memorable way to spend a day with the love of your life.
Toronto, Ontario
Toronto is the provincial capital of Ontario and the largest city in Canada. It is located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario giving it some of the best and most beautiful waterways in North America.
You’ll spend an entire day visiting the Toronto Islands, a small island chain just off the coast that offers a multitude of fun outdoor activities. Rent a canoe or bicycles and embrace the natural beauty of Toronto. You will also enjoy a day of shopping and eating in Old Downtown Toronto. This area is filled with quaint shops and unique eateries. Toronto is well known for its live theater, festivals and cultural events. Don’t forget to visit “The Kissing Bridge” in Waterloo County.
Prince Edward Island
Though Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province, it offers so much for those looking for a romantic vacation. It is well known for its gently rolling landscape and pristine beaches. The white sand beaches are picture postcard perfect and offer visitors activities such as swimming, boating and fishing.
Prince Edward Island is most known as being the setting for the book Anne of Green Gables. The book describes the island so beautifully that millions of tourists have made their way there since 1908 when the book was first published. Each year, the musical version of “Anne of Green Gables” is performed at the Charlottetown Confederation Centre of the Arts. Your romantic vacation on Prince Edward Island will be magical.
