Getting between cities
In short: between cities, choose your mode of transport in advance (a taxi for the day, a rental car, a guided tour, public transport) and plan the return trip. Also ask yourself separately: is it safe to travel the chosen route right now?
What to do:
- Set the times for both directions and allow a buffer for delays.
- Check the weather, daylight hours, and road conditions for your season.
- For border and sensitive areas, check current travel advisories (for example travel.gc.ca) — don't rely only on a map "as it was last year."
Common mistake: planning only how to get there, with no return and no check on whether the route is open.
