Check out the nation’s capital
Have you visited Ottawa? With this being the big 150th it’s an excellent opportunity to visit. You can also head across the bridge into Quebec for a few hours to mix things up a little.
Prince Edward County
From the vineyards to the beautiful scenery, you really owe it to yourself to check this out. This location is actually on my bucket list. I hope to make it out this summer.
Rent a cottage at Muskoka Lakes
You haven’t experienced summer in Ontario until you spent a weekend up by Muskoka.
According to this article at Narcity,“There are three large lakes in Muskoka; each surrounded by a diversity of lush green trees and beautiful scenery.”
Start looking for that cottage and see who’s all in for the weekend.
Wasaga Beach
You have to spend some time up here. It’s not too far from Toronto so you can make a day trip out of it. It's a beautiful, relaxed place that offers a nice break from the city without being too far.
Niagara Falls
Have you been to Niagara Falls lately? You can do wine tours and enjoy Niagara-On-The-Lake, and you can’t go wrong with a weekend by the Falls Niagara. The casinos provide some good night-life options as well.
Those are some of the top summer travel ideas for Ontario. The trick is to start looking now so that you can book your spot before it’s too late. And remember to get travel insurance if you're coming from out-of-province.
