Canada was named among the Top 10 Countries in the World in the 2025 US Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.
Each year, Condé Nast Traveler invites hundreds of thousands of readers to rate their favorite destinations across the globe. In the 2025 rankings, Canada earned the number 10 spot, a recognition that celebrates both the country’s breathtaking landscapes and the warmth of its people. Other parts of the country were recognized in categories like: “Best Airport” and “Best Cities.”
This recognition joins a number of 2025 accolades, among them Canada tops the list of nations in RepCore Nations 2025 report, produced by Reputation Lab, reflecting Canada’s natural beauty, safety, and welcoming spirit. Canada also snagged three of the top five spots on North America’s 50 Best Restaurants list including Mon Lapin (Montréal, Québec), Restaurant Pearl Morissette (Lincoln, Ontario) and Tanière3 (Québec City, Québec). It’s further proof that in Canada, travelers naturally find what they’re looking for.
“Travelers today are craving what’s real; experiences that build compassion, spark belonging, and remind us of what we share,” says Gloria Loree, senior vice president, marking strategy and chief marketing officer at Destination Canada. “For Americans, Canada offers exactly that. It’s a place that welcomes you in, leaves a lasting mark, and sends you home seeing the world and one another a little differently.”
As travelers seek connection, meaning, and authenticity, Canada continues to deliver whether through vibrant cityscapes like Toronto and Montréal, wild wonderlands like Banff and Yukon, or Indigenous-led experiences that honor the land and its stories.
