Best Summer Locations In Canada

            The Ontario's cottage country covers any lake destination within easy driving distance for a quick weekend getaway. Its close to Toronto and its while still offering an unplugged pace that’s a world away from Canada’s largest city. It got a long shoreline, 17 historic towns and villages; and countless waterfalls and lakes bordered by the granite peaks and the 30,000 islands of Georgian Bay Islands National Park . Plan an August visit to catch Algonquin Park’s educational Thursday evening wolf howls starring—weather-permitting—the reclusive, inhabitant, four-pawed chorus.

2. Montreal, Quebec

            Montreal is perhaps my all-time favourite place to just walk around by myself. No other city will allow you to be on a hill overlooking the city from above; shop at fancy French boutiques; dine at some of the best restaurants in the world; see old historic buildings and modern skyscrapers; enjoy a vibrant nightlife; and watch the sun rise and set at the port - all within walking distance. You will feel as if you have walked into a different dimension. Being the world's second largest French speaking city (second only to Paris) some would compare it to France. I on the other hand believe that Montreal is in a league of its own.

3. Niagara Falls, Ontario

          The Niagara Falls, located on theNiagara River draining Lake Erie into Lake Ontario. The majority of the falls at United States side. This would be fine except that to see it, you have to be on the Canadian side. That's why Niagara Falls lands on Canada's Top-Ten list. To get to the other side there is a pedestrian bridge that links Canada with the United States without the inconvenience of border patrols, yeah!

This tourist town is great for sightseeing and if you happen to be in Toronto, Niagara Falls is not far. Niagara Falls is also a popular place to get married, competing with Las Vegas for favourite wedding destinations. Niagara Falls was also rated as the World's Most Romantic Place.

Summer is peak season, and with good reason: Average highs are in the low 80s. Mists and breezes from the waterfalls can make the area feel cooler.

5. Kelowna, British Columbia

          For something really refreshing, make a splash with the kids by taking them to Okanagan Lake and the area’s over 200 other freshwater lakes. Visit the children's water parks and water slides.Where do Canadians go on vacation? Kelowna, BC. In the heart of the Canadian Rockies is the Okanagan Valley, a river-valley that has some of Canada's best weather. Warm in the summer and mild in the winter; the most you can ask for in the Great White North. The valley produces Canada's world famous B.C. apples (illegal in the U.S.) and wine. The Valley has a marina for the avid boaters and many golf courses. Relaxing at the beach or sitting on the porch of a lakeside cottage is everyone's idea of the perfect destination.
