Canada Holidays

Canada is a vast country stretching from the USA in the south, and up into the Arctic Circle in the north. Divided into ten provinces and three regions, it is the third largest country in the world and has two official languages, English and French. Its landscape is dominated by mountains, forests and the tundra. It is very sparsely populated with the majority of people living near the southern border. Its largest cities are Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. As you'd expect in such a large land mass, there is considerable variance in weather conditions. Away from the coast, snow can lie for half the year. If you are contemplating a winter skiing break, you'll have the trip of a lifetime. With the likes of Whistler, Banff and Lake Louise in the west and Tremblant in the east, you are guaranteed great snow conditions in top quality resorts. In the summer, these same resorts offer a host of activities, ideal for those who enjoy the great outdoors. 

Canada holidays have so much to offer that they appeal to all generations. Be impressed by landscape which includes the Rocky Mountains and Niagara Falls; enjoy cultural activities in exciting cities; take your winter break to new heights of excellence at superb ski resorts in both the east and the west; experience the championship golf courses in the third largest golfing nation in the world. As you can see, Canada holidays satisfy on many fronts.

Whichever region of Canada you choose to visit, you'll find that hotels, apartments, lodges and guest houses all reach very high standards. Canadians are known for their generous hospitality and their warm and friendly welcome. In many ways, they mirror the standards of their neighbour, the USA. The enormous number of restaurants, bistros, cafes and fast food outlets, ensure an extremely wide choice of cuisine, so that those who wish, can always find familiar dishes. As in the rest of North America, portions are large. Also, you'll find the cost of dining out is cheaper than at home. If you enjoy a little retail therapy whilst on holiday, you'll be delighted by both the number of shopping opportunities as well as the choice of goods. Just remember, the weight restrictions on your return flight.

Canada's wilderness is the major attraction for the majority of visitors. If the outdoor life is your idea of a perfect break, you'll be more than delighted by the variety of activities on offer. Whatever your level of fitness, there'll be an appropriate activity. Activities include, trekking into the forests and hills, gorge walking and climbing, fishing and whale watching, canoeing and white water rafting, skiing and boarding, to name but a few.
