Get set! Canada is about to experience a total solar eclipse, and you'll want to make sure you have a great view of the rare celestial event.
On April 8, 2024, parts of the country will experience an extraordinary display when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, completely blocking out the face of the sun.
Not all of Canada will be in the path of totality, where you'll be able to experience the moments of darkness as the sun is eclipsed, but some cities in the country will be treated to the spectacular event.
If you're wondering where you can see it, here are a few Airbnbs across the country that will be in the path of totality and will offer great views of the 2024 solar eclipse.
