Known for its epic scenery, rugged landscape and cities alive with culture, Canada is a vibrant country with plenty to see and do. Sweeping down from the Arctic Circle and bordered by the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans, the land encompasses majestic mountain ranges, glassy lakes and thundering waterfalls. If you're a hiker, explorer or photographer you'll find the perfect location to immerse yourself in its resplendent nature. To experience the country's cultural side is easy in the dynamic cities, which have many unique attractions. Due to its enormous size, there are several international airports including Toronto Pearson International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and Ottawa/Macdonald–Cartier International Airport. Some of the major airlines operating flights there are Air Canada, Air Transat and Air France.
The capital, Ottawa, is a laid-back city with an attractive centre that clings to the banks of the gleaming Rideau Canal. It is dotted with wide open parks and impressive Victorian architecture, and the compact centre boasts an array of sights that can be explored on foot, from Parliament Hill and the War Museum to the fairytale Château Laurier. In contrast, Toronto is a dazzling, energetic city that is brimming with soaring skyscrapers, world-class museums and an electrifying creative scene. Step into the narrow cobbled lanes of Quebec and you'll be plunged into old-world elegance and 18th century French Canada. Whether you come looking for views, wildlife, adventure or urban thrills, you'll find exactly what you are looking for during a trip to Canada.
