Good luck seeing the best of the world’s second largest country in one go – Canada is, simply put, massive. This is the ultimate place to see wilderness unfettered, from “sea to shining sea”.
English and French are Canada’s two official languages but its major urban centres in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal are a study in diversity – in just a few city blocks, you’ll hear a host of Asian, Latin and European languages, and with them, the smells of cuisines from around the world.
Dip your toes in the Pacific Ocean as you visit the West Coast cities of Victoria and Vancouver, immerse yourself in the Indigenous traditions of some of Canada’s first peoples on Haida Gwaii, embrace cowboy culture in Alberta’s prairies, snowboard in the Rocky Mountains at Banff, or sail the Northwest Passage to see polar bears and the Northern Lights.
If you’re planning a trip to central Canada, Quebec City (a romantic UNESCO World Heritage Site), Toronto, Niagara Falls and Montreal should top the list. This area is home to some of the country’s best known musical exports – artists like Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Drake all got their starts here.
Canada’s Atlantic or “maritime” coast, meanwhile, is part fishing village, part British brogue, part Anne of Green Gables. A journey around New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador will take your breath away with the stunning landscapes – especially in the summer.
