A friend and i wanna go to Canada.?

Question

we want to go to Toronto we are from Australia.

But the flight is just too expensive to save up by December/January and Vancouver is much much cheaper.

WE are both 19/20 so we want to have a good cheap time.

We will stay at backpackers/hostels for cheap accomodation.

But i need to convince my friend Vancouver is good place for young people and i need convincing myself.

Is it a good place for young people?

we really just want to have a good time and go out drinking alot to and party.

Is Vancouver a good place for this and why? and is there any other places?

Answer 1

toronto is a fun place but vancouver would be alot better for sight seeing and what not.  I live in windsor which is a 3 hour drive from toronto and yeah its pretty awesome if you were in that area you could visit niagra falls which is an hour or two away from toronto i beleive go to cliffton hill and just chill.  Although you would probably enjoy vancouver more, my friend is from vancouver and she always tells us stories about how much fun it is there.

Answer 2

Van and Toronto are great places Van is better in the winter it is just cold and damp, Toronto is colder, damp, and snowy

Check out going the long way around from Aus to the UK to Canada it takes longer but you might be able to get cheaper airfare going that way instead.

Answer 3

Vancouver is  great place for sight seeing and shopping.

Check out Robson St. and go to Granville island.

It's going to be very cold in Toronto in Dec/Jan.

Answer 4

you could always fly to vancouver...get a rental car and drive to toronto...unless u know someone in vancouver who will drive u..  but either way its gonna cost you.:(

Answer 5

Yes, I find Vancouver youth friendly.  Lots of Canadian cities close to the boarder have significant Americans coming in weekends from their US home drinking age of 21 to Canadian drinking ages of 18/19.  Vancouver is a further drive say from Seattle, but it is the main option, so you notice it more.  Vancouver bars are open until 3am on weekends and 2am weekdays.  Toronto is 2am.  The bars in Vancouver are located close to each other in the Downtown area.  Like all along Granville, and in Gas Town.  Granville Street on a weekend night can be pretty festive.

Make sure to double check the reputation of hostels you are considering in Vancouver.  Affordable housing is tight in Vancouver, and their is a spillover into such places from low income people.  So try to double check to make sure you aren't in drug problem areas.
