Things to Do & See in Canada
Canada is a playground for nature lovers, city explorers, and culture seekers. Marvel at Niagara Falls, one of the world's most iconic waterfalls, or hike through Banff and Jasper National Parks in Alberta for jaw dropping alpine scenery. Explore the buzzing metropolises of Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, each with its own unique charm. Visit Quebec City for a taste of Europe in North America or head east to the Maritime provinces for charming coastal towns and fresh seafood. In the north, experience the Northern Lights in Yukon or delve into Indigenous culture and history throughout the country. There's also plenty of skiing, kayaking, whale watching, and road tripping to enjoy.
Food & Drink in Canada
Canada’s culinary scene is as varied as its landscape. Enjoy iconic dishes like poutine (chips, cheese curds, and gravy), fresh Atlantic lobster, or Montreal-style bagels. In Quebec, sample tourtière (meat pie) or rich maple syrup treats. British Columbia is known for its fusion cuisine and fresh seafood, while Alberta offers hearty steaks and farm-to-table dining. Canada is also home to a growing wine and craft beer scene, particularly in regions like Niagara and Okanagan Valley. Don’t miss trying an authentic Caesar cocktail — a Canadian twist on the Bloody Mary.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Canada depends on what you're after.
Summer (June–August) is ideal for road trips, festivals, and outdoor adventures, with pleasant weather across most of the country.
Autumn (September–October) brings colourful foliage and fewer crowds.
Winter (December–March) is perfect for skiing, snowboarding, and festive city breaks, especially in places like Whistler, Banff, or Quebec.
Spring (April–May) offers mild weather and the start of wildlife season. Given its size, weather varies widely by region, so plan accordingly.

Visa Information
Irish citizens do not need a visa to visit Canada for tourism or short business stays of up to six months. However, travellers must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before boarding their flight. The eTA is quick to obtain online, usually approved within minutes, and is valid for up to five years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. Ensure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay, and always check the latest entry requirements before travel.
