I know a lot of people on this forum have either been to Canada or actually live there, so I thought I'd ask for some advice.
A friend of mine is getting married in Ottawa in late September. I'd definitely like to go but it seems like a waste of money unless I combine it with a holiday. I'm looking to go for about 7-10 days in total.
I've been to Ottawa before. It's a nice place and it has some great restaurants. However, I didn't find that much to do in the city. My current plan is to visit Ottawa and another city.
I've considered Vancouver but it's a long way. I don't fancy all the extra flying on such a short trip and I don't really want to spend all that extra money either. Montreal sounds like a good shout as there's a train from Ottawa and I've heard that there's lots to do in Montreal.
So far the cheapest flights I've found have been with Thomas Cook through Canadian Affair (around £350 pp inc. tax). Zoom had some good prices too, but their website didn't return any direct flights to Ottawa. Air Canada came back with flights for ~£550 (I flew with them two years ago for £260!).
Any city/activity recommendations? Any good places for cheap flights and decent hotels?
