Canada Travel Guide

Most basic items cost less than in Britain and a bit more than they do in the US; more specific details are given below and throughout the Guide . Generally, if you're sticking to a very tight budget - camping and buying food from shops - you could squeeze through on £15-20/US$25-30 a day. You're not going to last long living like this, though, and a more comfortable average daily budget, covering a motel room, bus travel, a museum or two and a restaurant meal would work out at around £40-45/US$65-75. Naturally, once you upgrade your accommodation, eat out two or three times a day, and take in the city nightlife, this figure can easily double. Remember, too, that recently the Canadian dollar has been fairly weak, so if you're coming from abroad your money may stretch further than you thought - though of course there are no guarantees there.
