The Great Outdoors And Cosmopolitan Cities

Canada holidays offer a remarkable wealth of opportunities to experience on your visit - whether you want to take advantage of the world-class skiing conditions which the harsh winters present, go wildlife trekking in the great outdoors or enjoy some shopping in one of the multitude of cosmopolitan cities, Canada represents a great choice that you won't regret taking. Located directly north of the United States in North America, the most popular destinations here are close to the American border in the south of the country as the climate here tends to be milder than in the icy north. There is a seriously awe-inspiring, vast expense of country to contend with here - surprisingly to many it's actually the second largest country in the world!

Canada's heritage stem from a colonial past when the country was under British and French rule. Those influences are still in existence today as English and French are still the two official languages of the country and upon travelling to any of the major city you will discover a certain European vibe. Ottawa is the country's capital, yet is only the fourth most populated city in Canada, whilst other popular cities here include Calgary which has great access to the Canadian Rockies, French speaking Quebec City, Montreal which has hosted many Formula 1 Grand Prix races, Vancouver which is home of the famous Stanley Park and last, but certainly not least the most populated city in Canada, Toronto - home of the iconic CN tower with its 360 degree restaurant which stood for 31 years as the highest free-standing structure on land in the world.

Canadian Rockies And Niagara Falls

Holidays to Canada offer tremendously different types of accommodation, from full-ranging first class ski accommodation to city hotels to wooden mountain lodges, you can stay wherever you think is going to suit your needs the best. There are also a wide range of activities available to try in Canada... If skiing is your thing then you won't find better anywhere else than in the Canadian Rockies in the western provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. If sightseeing interests you more, then definitely head to either Niagara or Virginia Falls - both of which make for truly spectacular viewing on an excursion there! Shopaholics can get their fix in any of the major cities which also offer vibrant nightlife, whilst you can acquaint yourself with nature by hiking in the great outdoors where you find immeasurable amounts of trails to cover and may even be lucky enough to stumble across some astonishing wildlife. So whether you're a skier, shopper, sightseer or into sporty adventures, Canada holidays will be able to offer you something that little bit extra special.

Don't fall into the illusion of presuming Canada is just like an extension of America - the countries differ vastly and may as well be a million miles away from each other. Canada's unique culture is shaped by the composition of its diverse population... You've got the English speakers, the French speakers and those that manage to speak both languages. Then there is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - more renowned as being called 'The Mounties', they are instantly recognisable in their red and black uniforms and are as symbolic to Canada as its red and white maple leaf flag. The country has left a rich sporting legacy over the years too, with Ice Hockey in particular being a sport that the Canadians are amazing at. They have also had the pleasure of hosting both the Summer Olympics in Montreal in 1976 and the Winter Olympics in Calgary in 1988 and are also set to host the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Many people who visit this amazing country fall in love with it and return frequently, with a higher than average proportion of those choosing to emigrate there eventually.
