Travel is more than just picking a city to explore and visit, it\u2019s also about choosing the right neighbourhood to spend most of your time in. At least that\u2019s what Airbnb finds, as their typical guest spends about half their money in the neighbourhood of the place they\u2019re renting, and more travellers are picking some of Canada\u2019s trendiest neighbourhoods to stay in. From bustling communities brimming with restaurants and shops to neighbourhoods with a more naturalistic feel, these are the trendiest neighbourhoods in Canada, according to Airbnb. <\/p>\n

\"\"Hyperlocal exploration is on the rise Travellers are looking for a place to stay that will make them feel like they\u2019re a true local, as Airbnb finds Canada\u2019s trendiest neighbourhoods are drawing more visitors with bookings up nearly 180 per cent year-over-year across these 10 destinations . \"\"How guests impact local economy Airbnb data reveals that 87 per cent of host recommendations to guests are local to where they\u2019re staying, with the average visitor in Canada spending more than $300 per day on their trip with half that spending happening directly in the neighbourhood they\u2019re temporarily living in. (Brent Lewin\/Bloomberg) \"\"Canada\u2019s trendiest neighbourhoods More than half of guests (58 per cent) indicated they wouldn\u2019t have visited the neighbourhood of their listing if it weren\u2019t for staying there, and 62 per cent shared that staying in that neighbourhood made them feel more like a local. Airbnb identified the 10 trendiest neighbourhoods across Canada which are seeing the highest influx of visitors this summer. \"\"Hastings-Sunrise, Vancouver, B.C. East of downtown Vancouver is Hastings-Sunrise, which one local host describes as a \u201cpeaceful neighbourhood\u201d lined with mom-and-pop restaurants, pubs and breweries. Its location provides guests quick enough access to downtown, and the promise of \u201cskiing and hiking within the hour.\u201d (Destination Vancouver) \"\"North End, Kelowna, B.C. Though North End is in the heart of B.C.\u2019s wine country, the neighbourhood offers visitors waterfront views, an array of local breweries, and bike paths that can take you all the way up to Knox Mountain. One host says the bike paths are the \u201cbest way\u201d to see the neighbourhood. (Tourism Kelowna) \"\"Shaganappi, Calgary, Alta. Surrounded by a golf course with sweeping views of the downtown skyline, this lush neighbourhood is a stone\u2019s throw away from Calgary\u2019s bustling 17th Avenue. (ROAM Creative) \"\"McKernan, Edmonton, Alta. While it\u2019s close to the hustle and bustle of Whyte Avenue, and south of the University of Alberta, one local host says this neighbourhood \u201cfeels like its own little pocket of the city.\u201d (Palomar) \"\"Central St. Boniface, Winnipeg, Man. Travellers looking for a lively place to visit in Winnipeg can head to the city\u2019s French quarter, where one local host says visitors can head to the weekly summer market or have a seat at one of the many patios along Provencher Boulevard. (Kristhine Guerrero) \"\"Kensington Market, Toronto, Ont. This quirky, colourful neighbourhood in the heart of the city is lined with vintage stores and mom-and-pop restaurants that serve food packed with international flavours, from oxtail patties to tacos. (Destination Toronto) \"\"The Glebe, Ottawa, Ont. About a 10-minute drive south from Parliament Hill, one local host says The Glebe perfectly captures what makes Ottawa so special. From exploring local shops on Lansdowne to walking along the Rideau canal, this neighbourhood \u201cfeels welcoming and connected.\u201d (Ottawa Tourism) \"\"Le Mille Carr\u00e9 Dor\u00e9 (Golden Square Mile), Montr\u00e9al, Que. This historic neighbourhood at the foot of Mount Royal is lined with 19th century architecture and a vibrant cultural scene. One local Airbnb host says it gives visitors a taste of everything the city has to offer. (Freddy Aciniegas\/Tourisme Montr\u00e9al) \"\"Saint-Sauveur, Qu\u00e9bec City, Que. This all-season resort town in the Laurentian Mountains has seen an influx of young families and professionals in recent years, with a Airbnb crediting the community spirit of \u201cSaint-S\u00f4\u201d as a driving factor. (\u00c9tienne Dionne, Destination Qu\u00e9bec) \"\"Downtown Halifax, Halifax, N.S. Travellers looking for picturesque walks and fresh seafood can head to downtown Halifax, where the waterfront boardwalk stretches along one of the world\u2019s largest natural harbours. One Airbnb host says the province\u2019s capital has been able to maintain it\u2019s small-town charm \u201cfor centuries.\u201d (Airbnb community) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travel is more than just picking a city to explore and visit, it\u2019s also about choosing the right…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":835763,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[49,48,44,171,291584],"class_list":["post-835762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news","tag-people","tag-vancouver-area"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=835762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/835763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=835762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=835762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=835762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
