Next Trip: Looking forward to the family vacation in Canada

After much deliberation, many rounds of voting and a few differences of opinion, our next family trip was finally decided. Yes, it will be Canada! Why, because North America fascinates us and Canada in particular has long been a place we long to visit.

Why Canada?

Canada is an ideal destination for families looking for a unique mix of stunning nature, adventurous activities and cultural experiences. That was clear to us from the start. When planning a vacation with children in Canada, there are some impressive places that are a must-see. An absolute must is Banff National Park in Alberta. Here children can explore the majestic Rocky Mountains and go hiking to spectacular waterfalls and emerald-green lakes. Another highlight is the city of Vancouver in British Columbia, which impresses with its green parks, Stanley Park and family-friendly attractions such as the Vancouver Aquarium .

Planning is the key to a successful family holiday

Not only do the individual highlights of the trip need to be planned, but entering Canada also requires increased attention. Because without an eTA permit for entry to Canada, you cannot enter the country. Canada is not as strict and complicated as the USA when it comes to entry, but applying for a visa properly and on time is still essential. The good news is that the eTA can be applied for without any problems even with a child's passport .

When planning a family vacation to Canada, there are a few other important points to consider. First of all, it is advisable to plan the trip well in advance to get the best accommodation and flight connections. Canada is a vast country, and the distances between destinations can be long, so it is advisable to allow enough time for the trip to allow for stress-free transfers. Many families we know have concentrated their trip on one part of Canada and traveled in a rental car . Those who want to explore Canada as much as possible will have to resort to domestic flights. Families should also pay attention to clothing, as the weather in Canada can vary greatly depending on the region and time of year. It is advisable to dress in layers to be prepared for changing weather conditions.

A family vacation in Canada is an unforgettable experience that will delight both adults and children.

Whether in summer or winter, Canada offers a variety of opportunities to create unforgettable memories together with your children.
