Canada

Canada boasts some of the most beautiful and scenic areas on earth. Bound by three oceans and containing an abundance of lakes and waterways, mountain ranges and forests, the country’s environment is breathtaking from coast to coast.

Three distinct cultures – English, French and Canadian Aboriginal – make for a diverse and beautiful holiday destination.

British Columbia

Situated on Canada’s west coast, British Colombia is the usual starting point for a journey into Canada.

The main city Vancouver is surrounded by mountains, forests and the Pacific Ocean. Highlights not to be missed include Stanley Park, the Aquarium, Gastown,
Grouse Mountain and its superb views of the city, the magnificent harbour, and
many lovely city gardens.

Also worth a visit is Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, located on Vancouver Island. Take the scenic ferry trip to the island and enjoy the fine shops and English style buildings.

Canadian Rockies

The Canadian Rockies will provide you with some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere in the world. You will find snow capped mountain peaks, waterfalls, glaciers, canyons and alpine meadows.

Skiing holidays in Canada are world-class. Great accommodation in the mountain resorts of Lake Louise and Sunshine Village are matched by breath-taking scenery and top shelf skiing and snowboarding.

In Banff, Canada’s highest town, you can try some dog sledding, snowmobiling or relax and take a stroll through the boutiques in town. Banff also provides a great base in which to explore the Banff National Park, including the immense blue water of Lake Louise with its amazing backdrop of Victoria Glacier.

Jasper, one of the most scenic towns in Alberta lies within the largest national park in the Rockies - Jasper National Park - and is an ideal town to explore the beautiful lakes and mountains.

The Prairie Provinces

Canada’s Wild West stretches across the great provincial expanses of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

In the shadow of the Canadian Rockies, Calgary is a vibrant cosmopolitan city with a variety of cultural attractions, restaurants, trendy night spots and festivals. Most famous is the Calgary Stampede - known as the greatest outdoor show on earth and attracting cowboys and visitors from all over the world.

Your visit to Calgary will be incomplete without visiting a working cattle ranch.

Ontario

Stretching from Hudson Bay to the Great Lakes, Ontario is home to the nation’s largest city, Toronto.

Canada’s largest and most diverse city is a multicultural metropolis with distinct, ethnic neighbourhoods including Chinatown, Little Italy and Greektown. The entertainment district offers theatre, nightlife, shopping, art, dining and major sporting venues. Parklands, rivers, forests and lakefronts provide great opportunities for walking, biking and hiking.

Travel highlights include the view from the CN Tower, one of the world’s tallest buildings, and trips to nearby romantic honeymoon destination, Niagara Falls.

Quebec

Quebec is home to the sophisticated cities of Montreal and Quebec City, oozing with French-inspired culture and proudly distinct from their Anglophone neighbours.

Music lovers cite the Montreal Jazz Festival and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. Art, literature and film buffs love the Latin Quarter.

And the vibrant nightlife of Crescent and “The Main” has been drawing lively international crowds since the 1930s prohibition years forced American party goers north in search of fun.
