Treat yourself to Canada’s blue skies and green spaces and some of the freshest, purest air on the planet. There is a wonderful world to be discovered here, a world that stretches from Atlantic to Pacific and as far north as the Arctic Circle, a world of majestic mountains and sparkling waters, of vast open wilderness and vibrant cities.

Cities here blend Old World cultures with contemporary pleasures allowing one to visit cafés, galleries, museums or perfectly preserved buildings along with plunging into the excitement in hot clubbing districts, where nightlife spills happily onto starlit streets from cafés, clubs and pubs, all at one time.

In Canada you will find magic regardless of where you visit. From the pristine flavor of a hand-hewn wooden lodge to a crisply contemporary mountain resort or a massive stone-castle, accommodation seems to offer as much variety as the country does. Wherever you visit you will find some of the world’s most dedicated hoteliers and a service that blends the comfort of home with Cordon Bleu cuisine where chefs concoct elegant dishes with venison, moose, bison, caribou, and local bounty like wild rice, sweet maple syrup, or fiddlehead greens.

National parks and reserves offer a rare view of untouched wilderness encompassing ancient glaciers, hot springs, cedar rainforests, wild grasslands, craggy mountains, and fog-shrouded islands.

Cruises have become a great way to discover the country with vessels regularly plying Canada’s East and West Coasts, the massive St. Lawrence River, and the five Great Lakes especially during Fall Foliage time when unique itineraries carry passengers in otherwise impossible to reach pristine locations. One can cruise along the inlet-riddled coastlines of Newfoundland and the shorelines thick with pine, spruce and cedar forests of the West Coast or discover the Arctic on genuine ice-breakers retracing the steps of early explorers, and everywhere whales, humpbacks, orcas, belugas, narwhals, even the rare right whale.

Or take the VIA Rail across the entire country, rolling through towns and villages and across a thousand miles of Prairies grain fields to the capping glory of the Rockies.
