  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Canadian dollar (CAD) on your trip here. Along with your debit and credit cards, consider bringing some cash for smaller purchases.

  • The language most widely spoken in this country is English.
