Canada is becoming more and more popular with holiday makers all through the year. It has mild summers and cold winters for which it is famous, and also has its own culture and identity separate to that of the USA, which many people don’t realise.
There are so many Canadian destinations to suit what you want and need on your trip. The cities of Canada, which are all in the south of the country, as the north is too cold, are modern places, with great shopping facilities, fun nightlife scenes and also many attractions.
The capital city of Canada is Ottawa, in Ontario province, and is well known for its many museums and old government buildings. The largest city is Toronto, also in Ontario province, on the shores of Lake Ontario, making it perfect for summer recreation.
Many Canadian destinations are chosen by tourists for their beautiful mountain scenery and the opportunity to take part in winter sports. Winter sports are very popular here, as the country gets large amounts of snow, making skiing and snowboarding in the mountains very easy and accessible.
When taking a holiday to Canada, try to do or see some things that are typically Canadian. All Canadian destinations sell maple syrup, Canada’s most famous product, which is a great souvenir for friends back home. While you are travelling around Canada, make sure you see the most famous areas, such as Niagara Falls, which is shared with the USA and the Great Lakes, which are also shared with the USA.
