But what about voyages to Canada?

Montreal was ranked fifth overall, landing at the bottom of the list.
So, which other Canadian cities beat us? Turns out many travellers are eyeing Canada's west coast.
Both Vancouver and Calgary snagged the top two spots with Toronto and Halifax following suit. Despite being the best foodie city in North America and hosting non-stop festivals this summer, more people are focusing on spots like Calgary and Halifax over Montreal, which is questionable... but who are we to challenge Google data?

Furthermore, Google also found that more and more Canadians are opting for solo travel and compiled a list of top spots solo Canadians are set to visit most this summer, which include Vienna, Machu Picchu, Brussels, Vietnam and Costa Rica.
