What's the first place you should see on your Canada vacation? How about a train trip through the Canadian Rockies? Or a mini Montréal vacation? In a country like Canada, you have to start somewhere! As you'll see in this brief overview, the immense size of Canada is mirrored by the huge variety of sights and activities. Some - if not all - destinations are bound to appeal to your Canada vacation plan!
The Canadian Rockies: nature on a grand scale
On your Canadian Rockies vacation, begin with the city of Vancouver, located on the Pacific coast and snuggled at the foot of the Rockies. This city offers wonderfully contrasting scenery to lovers of sea and mountain.
As you progress on your Canada vacation, you'll definitely want to make a stop in Jasper, the starting point for trails exploring the heart of the Canadian Rockies and Jasper National Park. Or for a more marine flavour, take a train trip to Prince Rupert to discover truly wild country on the coast. Outdoors enthusiasts can also heighten their experience by seeing the Canadian Rockies from the vantage point of a canoe or kayak.
Make your Canada vacation more cosmopolitan
How about booming Toronto, with its opulence and luxury stores? Or take your Canadian tour through Montréal, where you'll be welcomed by the lively rhythms and the genial atmosphere of vibrant streets lined with sidewalk cafés! These two modern metropolises rival each other in originality, offering an unrivalled cultural universe to explore on your Canada vacation.
Aside from the spectacular, world-famous waterfalls, a Niagara Falls vacation is a dream for wine lovers, who will discover a number of the country's specialty wines. Those sampling Ottawa tourism in the national capital will be charmed by the very British style of its streets and flowery parks. The Parliament stands noble and impressive, proudly overlooking the Ottawa River.
Discover Canada's other picturesque coast
Direct your Canada vacation east to picturesque Québec City. With its architecture, cafés, pedestrian streets and rich atmosphere, you'll feel like you're in one of Europe's famed walled cities
No tour of Canada's east coast would be complete without a visit to the fishing villages of Percé and Gaspé. Tucked into a craggy coastline at the far end of the Gaspé Peninsula, these two villages have kept both their charm and their traditional way of life.
In the Maritimes, the city of Halifax, with its varied styles of architecture, marries the beauty of a modern city with the style of coastal villages. Its port has many attractions, including a number of old schooners.
Whatever your pleasure, your Canada vacations will be unforgettable!
