Destination
Cardiff
United Kingdom
Lower airfares are shining a spotlight on Cardiff, making the Welsh capital an even more appealing city break. Discover a medieval castle, a thriving cultural scene and easy access to the coast, all at better value than many UK destinations.
Destination
Nagoya
Japan
With lower airfares making it easier to reach, Nagoya is an increasingly attractive gateway to Japan. Easy rail connections to Kyoto and Tokyo, together with hotel rates typically lower than Japan’s biggest cities, make it a smart base for a longer adventure.
Destination
Florence
Italy
Lower flight prices are making one of Europe’s cultural icons more accessible than last year. From Renaissance art to remarkable architecture, Florence proves that even premium destinations can become better value.
Destination
Nantes
France
Skip the Paris price tag without missing out on French culture. Cheaper flights and lower hotel prices make Nantes an attractive alternative, where riverside walks, creative neighbourhoods and cultural attractions await.
Destination
Okinawa
Japan
Flights are down 22% year over year, while hotel rates remain below Japan’s national average, making Okinawa an affordable way to experience the country’s tropical side. Add Japan’s renowned safety, cleanliness and infrastructure, and the value becomes even stronger.
Destination
Busan
South Korea
With flights down 20% year over year and hotel rates below South Korea’s national average, Busan is an increasingly attractive coastal escape. Sandy beaches, bustling seafood markets and vibrant city life offer a refreshing alternative to Seoul.
Destination
St. George’s
Grenada
With flights down 19% on last year and hotel rates falling 15%, St. George’s is becoming one of the Caribbean’s strongest value escapes. Colourful waterfronts, sandy beaches and year-round sunshine complete the picture.
Destination
Thessaloniki
Greece
Flights are down 19% year over year, while hotel rates remain below Greece’s national average. Combined with its lively student scene and lower dining and nightlife costs, Thessaloniki offers a great-value alternative to the country’s island hotspots, especially without the ‘island tax’ found in Mykonos and Santorini.
Destination
Hanoi
Vietnam
Hanoi blends incredible value with an experience that feels anything but budget. From its buzzing Old Quarter and legendary street food to centuries-old temples and French colonial architecture, Vietnam’s capital delivers culture, history and flavour at a more accessible price point.
Destination
Krakow
Poland
Favourable exchange rates and hotel prices below Western European averages make Kraków one of the best-value city breaks for Canadians. From accommodation and dining to attractions, travellers can enjoy more for their money than in destinations such as France or Italy.
