Canada

As the first non-European country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2003, Canada has long been hailed as an international LGBT-friendly destination.  With world-class cities and enthralling natural beauty, travelers repeatedly return for the country’s progressive attitudes and diverse beauty. As an unparalleled destination for outdoor enthusiasts, there are endless ways to connect to the great outdoors—and one another. Whether you spend a weekend whale-watching in a seaside town or hit the powdery slopes at Whistler-Blackcomb, the country is a hub for romantic outdoor excursions.

Still, Canada is not only known for its outdoor escapes. Its cities consistently appear on “best of” lists too. Vancouver is a thriving port city close to some of the best wineries in the country, while Quebec has a European flare and world-renowned winter lights festivals. On the eastern coast, Toronto hosts one of the world’s largest pride festivals, along with a thriving indie music and gastro-pub scene, while Atlantic Canada has charming villages where you might want to hang at the local dive and try fresh seafood. Whatever you’ve envisioned, Canada will likely surprise you with the range of possibilities, whether for a wedding celebration or dream honeymoon.
