TORONTO, ONTARIO

Diverse cuisine, art, beaches, nightlife ... Toronto has a bit of everything, and if you prefer your city with a side of nature, you're in luck. Admire Lake Ontario from leafy waterfront bike paths, kayak or paddleboard around the Toronto Islands or pack a romantic picnic for tranquil parks like Edwards Gardens or High Park. Up for an excursion? Rent a car for a day trip to Niagara Falls, skipping the eight-lane QEW and opting for the more scenic highway 81 instead. Hop off the highway around St. Catherine's and you'll be treated to a leisurely route along rolling hillsides that run right through wine country.

MIAMI, FLORIDA

You don't have to go far to find a slice of paradise. At first glance, the bright turquoise waters and sugar sand of Miami Beach is nearly indistinguishable from some of those in the Caribbean. A closer look and Miami boasts its own unique blend of Puerto Rican and Cuban cultural influences, evident in its fusion cuisine, spicy nightlife scene and trendy art and fashion culture. Skip the museum and take a walk through the streets of Wynwood instead. This open-air street art gallery is a rotating display of more than 40 vibrant, oversized murals created by renowned artists from around the world. Not up for the walk? Head to Miami Beach, where days are just as well spent basking in the sun in a king-sized day bed for two, sipping on fruity cocktails and listening to the ocean.
