Cities
Canada’s cities each have their own character: Toronto and its towers, Vancouver between the ocean and the mountains, French-speaking Montreal and Quebec City, the capital Ottawa, Calgary at the edge of the Rockies, and Halifax on the Atlantic. This section will hold city guides: what to see, where to eat honestly, how to get there, and where to stay.
Cities are a handy starting point for planning - routes branch out from them, attractions are nearby, and this is where you book a place, pick up a car, and sort out connectivity.
