It is Canada, a nation with some of the most stunning natural features on the world, not the setting of a fantasy novel. Towering mountains covered in snow, lush evergreen forests teeming with wildlife, and deep blue beaches studded with little cities are just a few of its sceneries. 

Six time zones, ten provinces, and three territories make up Canada, which stretches over 5000 kilometers (3107 miles) from west to east.

The second-largest country in the globe may appear to be a difficult place to travel, but thanks to new low-cost airlines, a national train service, and an abundance of car rental alternatives, Canada is now more accessible than ever. 

Because of its size and variety of areas, Canada requires various forms of transportation for each one. For instance, public ferries are frequently used in British Columbia, Québec, and the Maritime provinces, whereas railways are available in more densely populated locations like the Toronto-Montreal corridor. 

You may travel great distances in a shorter length of time thanks to regional and national carriers that cover the country, shaving days off trip times and connecting northern villages that are inaccessible by road. Not just Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, but all major Canadian cities have public transportation. Buses, bike lanes, subways, and streetcars are all being expanded.If you wish to travel throughout Canada’s cities without renting a car, you can easily do so by flying, taking the train, and occasionally boarding a ferry.

Enjoy the stunning scenery of Canada as you travel by train.If you have the money, you should cross Canada’s luxurious experience of train travel off your bucket list. The lines wind through some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth, across rivers and mountain valleys. 

The majority of Canada’s intercity and transcontinental passenger trains, which are run by VIA Rail, travel over 14,000km (8699 miles) of track. In some remote parts of the country, like Churchill, Manitoba, trains are the only option for overland travel. The most efficient rail service is that which runs between Québec City and Windsor, Ontario, especially between Montréal and Toronto, which serve as the two major hubs. The rail system does not reach Newfoundland, the Northwest Territories, or Prince Edward Island.

The majority of people perceive rail travel to be enjoyable and comfortable, despite the fact that it is more expensive than taking the bus and frequently comparable to flying. Peak season runs from June to mid-October when prices are typically 40% higher. Buying tickets in advance can result in significant savings, even five days in advance. The Canadian, Hudson Bay, Ocean, and Jasper to Prince Rupert are just a few of VIA Rail’s antique trains that are available to passengers who want to enjoy the countryside while they travel. The Canadian runs from Toronto to Vancouver, the Hudson Bay runs from Winnipeg to Churchill, where polar bears cluster and the Ocean runs from Montreal to Halifax. More options for rail travel are provided by privately owned regional train companies like the famed Rocky Mountaineer.
