Canada travel basics

What currency is used in Canada?

Canada uses Canadian dollars as its currency (Check out xe.com for the most up-to-date currency conversion–they have a mobile app too!)

What are Canada’s visa/passport requirements?

If you’re planning to spend less than 180 days in Canada, you can get by using just your U.S. passport–no Visa required. (Except for all that maple syrup you’re planning on buying, ba-dum-tshh!) Your passport must be valid at the time of your entry into Canada.

And yes, you need a passport to visit Canada from the United States. Yes, even if you’re driving.

What language do they speak in Canada?

Most of Canada speak English as their main language, except for the province of Québec which is strictly a French-speaking region.

Where to stay in Canada

For booking accommodation in France, I recommend reading hotel reviews on Tripadvisor, then booking your room through Booking.com (my favorite booking site).

And don’t forget, there’s always Airbnb. Check out some of Canada’s Airbnbs here!

My personal recommendations:

In Quebec City:

– Chateau Frontenac (the castle-looking hotel at the top of this page)
– Hôtel le Concorde
– Hôtel Manoir de l’Esplanade

Canada packing essentials

For your trip to Canada, you’ll want to pack the following:

– Packing cubes

– Canada guidebook: I prefer Rough Guides and Fodor’s, but you can also find one from Lonely Planet. I also really like these culture-centered guidebooks from Culture Smart!.

– French phrase book

– Anti-theft purse

– Travel insurance. I never travel internationally without it and I highly recommend the company I always use: World Nomads.

My blog posts on Canada

Below you’ll find my posts that focus on the awesome country of Canada — all the way from cool hotels, delicious restaurants, outdoor adventures, and more.

The best (my favorite) places to eat and drink in Québec City, Canada. This city has some of the best food (poutine!!), beer, and atmosphere I've experienced anywhere.
