Coverage in Toronto, Vancouver and Rural Areas of Canada

Strong 5G coverage in Vancouver's downtown core, Stanley Park seawall, and Granville Island, with fast data for booking harbour cruises, calling rideshares from Gastown, and posting the Lions Gate Bridge photos from Prospect Point.

eSIM Coverage in Major Cities of Canada

Coverage Around CN Tower, Stanley Park and Other Popular Places in Canada

Coverage Around CN Tower, Stanley Park and Other Popular Places in Canada

CN Tower

Toronto

Iconic 553-meter telecommunications tower that defines Toronto's skyline. Take the glass floor elevator for something different, or just enjoy the panoramic views from the observation deck. Get there early to beat the crowds - the line moves faster before 10am.

Royal Ontario Museum

Toronto

Massive museum with over six million artifacts covering world cultures and natural history. The dinosaur hall is a must-see with kids. Plan at least 3 hours - it's bigger than it looks from outside.

Niagara Falls

Toronto

The iconic waterfalls that border Canada and the US. The Mist Journey behind the falls is wet but worth it. Book the boat tour online in summer to skip the queue - they sell out fast.

Distillery District

Toronto

Historic pedestrian-only area with beautifully preserved Victorian industrial architecture. The Christmas market in December is magical but expect serious crowds. Great galleries and studios to browse year-round.

St. Lawrence Market

Toronto

One of the world's great food markets housed in a historic building. The peameal bacon sandwich is a Toronto classic - try it at Carence's. Saturdays are busiest with local vendors.

Stanley Park

Vancouver

Massive urban park surrounded by the Vancouver Seawall - one of the best bicycle paths in North America. Rent bikes for the full loop around the park, about 22km. The totem poles near the entrance are worth a quick stop.

Granville Island

Vancouver

Reclaimed industrial area turned into a creative hub with a famous public market. The market is best on weekends before noon - parking fills up fast. Check out the artisan studios upstairs too.

Canada Place

Vancouver

Vancouver's signature waterfront building with the dramatic sail-shaped roof. It's a cruise ship terminal and convention center. The FlyOver Canada virtual ride is surprisingly good for families.

Gastown

Vancouver

Vancouver's oldest neighborhood where the city began. The famous steam clock fires every 15 minutes - it's smaller than most people expect. Great for walking and finding quirky shops and restaurants.

Capilano Suspension Bridge

Vancouver

Suspension bridge swaying 70 meters above the Capilano River. Not for the faint of heart! The Treetop Adventure walk is equally impressive if you want more forest views. Go early morning to avoid tour groups.
