Museums and public art galleries are notably worse in Canada, honestly.
But, I think there some unique things worth seeing for an American: The old parts of Montreal/Quebec city, and the Alberta Rockies, especially the corridor between Banff and Jasper.
- saalweachter 7mo agoSure, yeah, but you say "Alberta Rockies" and I think "Ah, yes, because the US is notably lacking good scenic parks in the Rocky Mountains."
- badc0ffee 7mo agoI'm saying this after having seen the Rockies in both countries.
- fakedang 7mo agoBanff is much better than Vail or Jackson Hole though. I would even say better than Tahoe, if not for the lake.
- saalweachter 7mo agoIt's not so much what's better as whether it's different enough to attract a significant tourist group from areas with similar attractions nearby. Like, if you want to see a rain forest or a thousand year old Buddhist temple or a pyramid, there's not really a substitute in the continental US. But if you've two options, where you can go to the pretty good option domestically or drive past it and continue on to the much better option in another country ... most people will be happy with the closer option, even if there's some small number of people who want the best or have seen all the closer options before and want something different or just whimsically like the idea of going to the further-away one none of their friends have been to.
- trogdor 7mo ago> if you want to see a rain forest or a thousand year old Buddhist temple or a pyramid, there's not really a substitute in the continental US Minor nitpick, but there are temperate rain forests in the continental United States. What we don’t have are tropical rain forests.
