Transportation Tips: How To Get Around Canada

If you already have all of the necessary travel documents including your visa and

other requirements like letters of consent (if there are underage kids unaccompanied by their parents who are touring Canada with you) and Super Visa insurance papers (if there are parents/grandparents in the group who are entering the country on Super Visa), it is very easy to get into Canada. All that you have to do is to board a plane bound for the country, or drive to a border crossing if you are in the US.

Those who drive across the border into Canada are better prepared for their trip though because they already have a means of transport. All they need are maps and accurate instructions on how to reach whatever destination they have in mind. On the other hand, visitors who arrive by air will normally use public transport.

By Train or Bus

If you paid for a spot in a group tour, your transportation will be provided for by the travel agency. You will most likely travel from one tourist hotspot to another aboard the companys bus. Sometimes the tours will include passage on a train to see areas best viewed by rail.

The advantage of trains is that you often have a better view of the scenery as the tracks weave through cities, hills, and scenic areas. Since you can get up and move around in trains, you also have a better opportunity to meet other people. Finally, as each stop is clearly indicated, there is less chance that you will get lost, unless you take a taxi ride to the wrong place after your train trip.

By Taxi

This is obviously the most convenient way to get around a city, especially if you are not familiar with the area. Most taxi drivers can be trusted to deliver you to the right place. However, you have to watch out for drivers who might take a longer route to your destination and charge you more than you should pay. Do not make it too obvious that you are new to the city and do not know anything about where you are going. Appear confident and totally in control. This is of course the standard operating procedure for tourists in any foreign country.

By Boat

There are many islands in Canada that you may want to explore. You can often take a ferry to reach those islands. In some areas, there is also the option of taking a cruise. Since there will be multiple stops in several coastal towns and cities, you will still be able to explore the seaside towns and, if time permits, visit other popular sights close by.

By Bicycle

If you are starting to become familiar with the streets in the town or city where you are staying, you also have the option of renting a bike. It is a great way to get around urban areas, especially if there are plenty of parks nearby. In fact, many capital cities, like Ottawa, have plenty of bike paths. This is the next best thing to walking, which is of course the best way to fully experience a foreign country and immerse oneself in its culture. However, you can get a closer look at everything and cover more ground by bike.
