A holiday to Canada gives you the perfect blend of open prairies, tall, rocky mountains, great lakes, stunning coastlines and elegant cities. You have seven national parks, most notably Jasper National Park and Banff National Park, and the famous 397-mile stretch of Canadian Rockies to explore. There’s also Whistler Blackcomb, one of the biggest ski resorts in the world, spanning 8,000 acres. Toronto is Canada’s largest city and is home to the world's tallest building, the CN Tower. Vancouver has been described as one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the 1000-acre Stanley Park at its heart. One of the most popular tourist attractions for visitors to Vancouver is Granville Island, with its bustling market, bars, restaurants, art galleries and independent theatres. Montreal fuses old and new, with 19th-century architecture contrasting with soaring skyscrapers. Set within 7-mile long city walls is Quebec City, full of sophisticated boutiques and charming bistros and cafés. The capital city of Ottowa has its Parliament buildings watched over on national holidays by the traditional red-coated ‘Mounties’. With so much to see and do in one country, it's easy to see why holidays in Canada are a popular choice.
