Where to travel in Canada right now

When COVID regulations relaxed and Canadians were able to travel again, they booked trips zealously. The results weren’t pretty: airports turned into zoos, beaches overcrowded and European cities clogged up with tourists. Hotels from Paris to Banff became astronomically expensive.

But for the traveller willing to explore less popular destinations, joy-filled adventure still awaits. Maclean’s invited some of its regular contributors from across the country to write about their favourite hidden-gem locations—and they delivered. “Off the Beaten Path,” which appears in the October issue of Maclean’s, features a series of beautiful, personal articles about under-the-radar Canadian vacation spots: bustling small cities about to break big, outdoor adventures with puffins and bison, delicious and diverse food on both coasts and ambitious, province-spanning road trips. It’s as much a travel guide as it is an intimate portrait of Canada, and it will make you fall in love with travel again.
