No restrictions, no testing and no fears. 2023 is definitely going to be the year of travel. With the whole wide world open, the only thing standing between us and our dream vacation now is the big decision— where to go? Lucky for us, the deal experts at Travelzoo have narrowed it down to five destinations for Canadians to travel to in 2023.
From artistic and historical attractions to sunny beaches to a local gem, the list has a little something for everyone.
Amsterdam
Be it for its natural beauty, its baroque architecture, its iconic canals, its famous art galleries or its fascinating culinary scene. No matter your reason for choosing the Dutch capital, you won’t be disappointed. The city is brimming with culture and adventures for the whole family and is certainly worth multiple visits.
Barbados
This picture-perfect Caribbean gem seems to top just about every travel bucket list, no matter the season. And for good reason too. It brings together all the things we love about vacations— the sand, the ocean, the cocktails and the sun. Sure, the beaches and the beach bars are what make it a perfect destination. But the park-dotted interior, the delicious cuisine and the welcoming folk here make your experience even better.
Florida
When it comes to international travel that is fun and affordable at once, Florida just happens to check off all the boxes. The Sunshine State of the US is an interesting motley of urban and natural adventures. From shopping sprees and vibrant nightlife to magnificent wildlife and peaceful beaches, the place has it all. Of course, having the warm sun year-round is also a big attraction.
Hong Kong
There are certain preconceived notions we all have about the place. And this highly populated, fast-paced destination with a killer skyline does live up to that notion. Sure, its vibrant and colourful hoods and unreal street food are experiences that invite you in. Its nature trails, rare birds and quiet islands are an unexpected bonus that makes you fall in love.
Saint John
This New Brunswick city is one of those rare gems that happen to be an all-in-one destination. Its historic architecture and streetscape proudly own up to its status as one of the oldest Canadian cities. But the city has more to offer than just a history lesson. There’s nature to explore and beaches to enjoy and foods to indulge in. If there’s one Canadian destination on your list, this has got to be it.
