10 Cute Canadian Towns You Have To Visit This Fall
While Canada is undoubtedly home to dozens of charming towns, there’s something magical about experiencing them in the fall.
Whether it’s vibrant trees lining quaint streets, old buildings adorned in autumn wreaths, crisp markets, or the coziness of stopping into a cute coffee shop to grab a spiced drink, this time of year brings a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to these beautiful spots. Don’t miss out on visiting one of these must-see towns this fall.
1. Nelson, B.C.
This southwestern B.C. town is charmed by over 350 heritage buildings and surrounded by beautiful fall foliage. Stroll down the main street with a coffee or head up to the nearby Kootenay Lake to see more sights.
2. Fort Langley, B.C.
There’s no shortage of fall activities in the quaint Township of Langley. Wander through a pumpkin patch, attend the annual cranberry festival or window shop downtown.
3. Waterton, Alta.
Waterton—both a small town and a majestic national park—is nestled in the Canadian Rockies. Whether you’re relaxing in the townsite or exploring the surrounding park, you’ll be surrounded by lush fall foliage.
4. Unionville, Ont.
