Where to go When You Rent a Car in Canada

Foodies should definitely take in Montréal, blessed as it is with one of the most exciting food scenes in Canada. Sample the Kamouraska lamb, Arctic char and delectable poutine as you explore the city's delis, restaurants and food markets.

If there is something of Paris in Montréal, then Toronto may remind you of New York. This action-packed, multicultural city is Canada's largest. Rising from the shores of Lake Ontario, it is home to cosmopolitan museums, markets and trendy shopping, not to mention the impressive TN Tower with its revolving restaurant that offers breathtaking views across the city below.

It is mountains that define Vancouver. This seaport city in British Columbia is surrounded by dramatic peaks and is the ideal base for whale watchers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Canada's capital city, Ottawa, is a true historic gem. Those with a love of architecture will be enthralled by its unique buildings, among which there are several world-class examples of the Gothic Revival and Victorian styles. Amongst its other areas of historic interest is the Rideau Canal, the oldest continuously operating canal in North America, and a Unesco World Heritage Site.

But Canada is not all about its cities, fine though they may be. It's the great outdoors and those vast expanses of wilderness that continue to attract visitors. Wherever you are based in Canada these will be accessible to you by car, so let's take a look at some of what is on offer.

This unique and sparsely populated part of the planet is famous for unspoilt vistas and fabulous coastlines that will encourage you to pull your hire car over on many occasions to admire the views. From the iconic Niagara Falls to the sublime beauty of Banff National Park, on the edge of the Canadian Rockies, Canada is packed with glaciers, alpine forests and lakes that will take your breath away. Just keep an eye open for grizzly bears when you pull over!

Those who want to get active are certainly not short of opportunities. There's fantastic hiking in Jasper National Park, white water rafting on many of Canada's rivers, and the skiing in Whistler is hard to beat anywhere in the world.

Book yourself a whale watching tour in Vancouver to see these majestic beasts in their natural environment or drive out to feel the sheer power of the Niagara Falls.

When you hire a car in Canada you'll never be short of new experiences.
