By Greg Mattson, ERV Editor - Updated: Aug 25, 2012

You know what? There's lots of places to visit in Canada that we know you're gonna love...

Inside, we've got reviews of romantic Canadian hotels and accommodation, destinations and attractions. And not in only the well known places like Banff, Vancouver and Niagara Falls, but also romantic spots like Quebec City, Victoria, B.C. and Canada's Maritimes. Plus weather and related tips so you know the best time to go.

The wilderness is one of the best attractions in Canada. But you don’t have to rough it (unless you want to!) Some of the best luxury lodges, spas and hotels can be found near magnificent mountains, forests and coastline.

Have a look our romantic destinations in Canada, and you’ll discover:

  • Ideas on Where to Stay in Canada, including Hotels, Bed and Breakfasts, and Spa Resorts.
  • Romantic Ski Resorts in Canada, such as World-Famous Whistler, B.C.
  • Attractions Not to Miss in the Most Romantic Places in Canada

Our Top 5 Romance Destinations in Canada:

1. Victoria, BC - always green and impeccably clean, Victoria, BC is an oh-so-English romantic getaway in a tidy package! Horse-drawn carriages clip-clop past the flower shops and tea houses here. Make sure you get to the oceanfront here for the fantastic views across the Juan de Fuca Strait.

2. Quebec City, QB - want to escape to small-town France, but without the jet-lag? Try Quebec City! And winter getaways here are probably even more romantic, with the Carnival, Ice Hotel, and Aurora Borealis.

3. Niagara Falls, ON - immense popularity and crowds still don't dilute the fact that these incredible falls are still... incredible! Book a Falls view room, avoid middle of summer and weekends, and don't miss nearby Niagara-on-the-Lake.

4. Prince Edward Island - we can't think of a more peaceful place to visit in Canada! Stay a week in a cottage by the sea on PEI, explore the small villages on quiet country roads, and you'll feel like you're in an Anne of Green Gables novel!

5. Vancouver, BC - perhaps we're a bit biased to our home, but for great restaurants with views of the mountains and the Pacific, your pick of beaches to explore or relax by, and places to just sip coffee and people watch, Vancouver is fantastic. Just bring your umbrella and you'll love it!
