Best time to visit Canada

With its incredibly chilling winters (November – March), the summer (June – August) is by far the most popular time to visit Canada. Warm days, moderate nights and low rainfall make this time of year the busiest in the country, with hordes of tourists visiting the nation’s top attractions. Be sure to book well in advance to get the best hotel rate. Visiting during May (late spring) and September (early autumn) will still give you pleasant weather, with moderate days and cold nights. An added bonus is that the volume of tourists drops during these months, and so do the hotel room prices. If you love skiing, visit Canada between November and April. Make sure to pack plenty of extra layers; temperatures reach their coldest in January, at -15°C.
