A Coast-to-coast Journey Through The United States And Canada

A coast-to-coast trip through North America is the dream experience. The most traditional thing may be the tour of the United States, with a greater cinematographic load. But an itinerary from the Atlantic to the Pacific through Canada, equally, is an exciting journey.

United States from coast to coast

A coast-to-coast trip through the United States is the journey of a lifetime. There are so many things to see that we can extend this experience as long as we want, since you can do the mythical Route 66 or hundreds of different paths.

But as we always travel in a hurry, here we propose an accessible tourist route for a vacation period.

New York

What to say about New York? Everything has been said already. We are familiar with everything there is to see. The Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, the Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Broadway, Coney Island …

Philadelphia

One of the most historically charged cities in the entire United States is Philadelphia. There, any corner pays an emotional tribute to the independence of the country and the so-called fathers of the country. A site that must be known to understand this country much better, sometimes so incomprehensible.

Chicago

The journey through the east can end in Chicago, the windy city on the shores of Lake Michigan. An inland sea that overwhelms. As is also impressive the architecture of this city, its canals and its extraordinary vitality.

The great surprise of the cities of the country is always Chicago. But we have to leave it to continue our journey from coast to coast. Which we propose to continue flying.

Las Vegas

The destination is the city of sin, Las Vegas, in the middle of the desert of the state of Nevada. There you have hotels that are theme parks, as well as casinos, amazing shows or chapels to get married. That, and so much more.

Enjoy your stay to the fullest, but do not count it, because what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas. Please make time to visit the Grand Canyon though .

San Francisco

We reached the Pacific, the goal of this coast-to-coast journey through the United States. We could finish it on the beaches of Los Angeles, but we suggest you go further north, to San Francisco. With its Golden Gate, its liberal atmosphere, its streetcars and its port, it  is an ideal place to end this trip  and start preparing the next.

Canada from coast to coast

In the case of Canada, the coast-to-coast route in practice offers fewer variants than its neighbor the United States, since the northern part of the country is truly inhospitable. So we have prepared the following route for you:

Montreal

We began our coast-to-coast journey through Canada in the French-speaking city of Montreal. One of the most beautiful in the country, for its old quarter and its Mont Royal.

In addition, nearby you can visit the Lac Delage and the Laurentian nature reserve. Without a doubt, the counterpoint to the urbanism of the city and one of the first natural treasures that we will discover on this trip.

Quebec, Ottawa and Toronto

If your thing is urban tourism, during this Canadian trip from coast to coast you have several interesting destinations. One of them is Quebec, on the way from which you must visit the beautiful Montmorency waterfall. You can also visit Ottawa, a very friendly capital.

And you  have to visit Toronto, the great Canadian metropolis. In addition, very close there is a unique and must-see visit. They are Niagara Falls, which you can see from the Canadian shore or from the United States side. And of course, also doing a really spectacular boat trip.

Banff and Jasper

The Canadian landscape can be very rough at certain times of the year, so this coast-to-coast trip, to be practical, must include the plane. So we recommend flying from the east to the Rocky Mountains. There, the paradise of any mountaineer and lover of sports in nature awaits us: Banff

The mountaineering atmosphere continues in Jasper. Here the places that can be visited are almost infinite. Of course, always wearing good hiking boots as footwear. It is possible to see Maligne Lake; the top of Mount Robson, the highest in the Canadian Rockies; or Moose Lake.

Vancouver

We finished the coast-to-coast tour of Canada arriving in Vancouver. One of the cities with the highest quality of life in the world. A tremendously welcoming place that will cost us to say goodbye, but for now, our journey through North America is over.
