From the rugged backcountry of Killarney Provincial Park to the dense urban fabric of Toronto, Ontario contains multitudes. In the province’s cosmopolitan cities, world-class museums, pro sports and lively arts scenes thrive, while on the tranquil shores of Manitoulin Island, Indigenous culture and untouched landscapes have persisted for centuries.

Road trips count among the best ways to see all the province has to offer, but Ontario’s size means it’s best to pick a particular part and really dive in, whether that’s island-hopping along the St Lawrence River, wine touring in Prince Edward County or binging on theater in Stratford. Nature lovers will find no shortage of hiking, paddling and wildlife-watching, while food and drink enthusiasts can taste their way through wineries, craft breweries, cideries and farm-to-table restaurants.
