Canadian travel has so much to offer! Canada’s snow-covered mountains and deep forests make you dream about snowmobile trips to an isolated wooden chalet.

But Canada also has a lot of thriving cities, among them Toronto, one of the world’s most multicultural cities; Ottawa, the country’s capital; Quebec City, with its European charm; Montreal, a lively city with vibrant culture and entertainment; Halifax, the largest city of the Maritimes; Vancouver, a jewel on the Pacific coast; and Calgary, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Canada is a land of discovery! From East to West, you will always find welcoming and warm people. For these reasons, 20 million tourists come to Canada every year.

Canada’s cities really started growing during the 19th century, but Quebec City and Montreal, founded in the 17th century, are among the oldest cities of the country and have a rich cultural heritage. Quebec City, the only fortified city in North America, is a designated UNESCO’s World Heritage Site and home to numerous churches, citadels and noble houses. Montreal has diverse facets: the new financial district with its glass buildings and the Olympic Park with its modern architecture, whereas the Old Port and Old Montreal are home to historic buildings such as the Basilique Notre Dame, Old City Hall, the Place Jacques Cartier... Ottawa is the capital and thus has many impressive governmental edifices. Toronto, with its impressive skyscrapers anchored by the CN Tower, is the country’s commercial centre, but also offers many unique and vibrant ethnic neighbourhoods and extensive greenspaces. Toronto’s islands are an oasis of quiet with a perfect view of the city’s iconic skyline. Winnipeg’s Exchange District mirrors the golden age of the city: the 1910’s. Vancouver’s many glossy skyscrapers, its location on the water and the surrounding mountains leave an impression on every visitor.

While travelling in Canada, you will encounter various climates, not surprisingly as Canada is the world’s second largest country. Eastern areas are close to the Atlantic and have maritime climates with sudden temperatures changes. The famous cascades of Niagara Falls are frozen during the winter and during the summer this city impresses with its floral displays and entertainment opportunities. The Pacific side has its own microclimate: summers are warm and dry and winter are mild and humid. The closer one gets to the Rocky Mountains, the harsher the climate becomes. Alberta has hot but short summers and very cold winters. In Winnipeg, winters are cold and long, summers can be very hot.

Canada’s countryside is a good place for those who desire peace and tranquility and enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace of a isolated wooden chalet. Hunters, fishermen and outdoor adventurers will love the wilderness. But if you are looking for more animation, Canada’s urban centres can offer it. Especially Montreal and Toronto, the two party-towns of Canada. Vancouver, Ottawa and Quebec also offer many entertainment and cultural opportunities and you will enjoy a walk under the moonlight in Old Quebec City.

In all of the cities, you will be able to enjoy Italian, Chinese, French, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Greek and numerous other world cuisines as a result of Canada’s ethnic diversity. In Montreal, Toronto or Ottawa, jazz lovers will be able to enjoy an outstanding live music experience, and hockey addicts will enjoy fast-paced sports action in Canada’s numerous stadiums. Football, baseball and golf lovers will also find great recreational opportunities. Free newspapers will keep you informed of current events. Notice that Toronto’s extensive theatre and music programs are among the best in entire English-speaking world.
