Canadian cities work best as clusters of neighbourhoods rather than isolated attractions.
Plan by district
Group sights that share transit and walking routes.
Choose the right gateway
A city may be a destination, a transport hub or both. Do not pay city-centre prices if the itinerary immediately leaves.
Weather backup
Keep indoor options for rain, smoke, heat or cold.
Add a regional extension
Many cities connect naturally to nearby coasts, lakes, mountains or smaller communities.
