LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK INFORMATION
Getting Started
Canada has excellent tourism infrastructure that makes traveling a pleasure. From backpackers to jetsetters, all travelers will find their needs and expectations met. Room and transportation reservations are a good idea in summer and around holidays. One thing to keep in mind is the country's immense scale. If you're like most people, you're traveling to get away from daily stresses, so don't try to pack too much into your itinerary and do consider limiting your explorations to one or two regions in depth.
