Canada Holiday Destinations - where to visit

Canada - it's the backdrop for plenty of awe-inspiring moments

They're all here, spread across six time zones. One of the world's most visited natural attractions, the thundering Niagara Falls, will take your breath away. But it's by no means Canada's only scenic gem. From the stunning Great Lakes of Ontario and abundance of national parks, to the colossal Athabasca Glacier and, of course, the unforgettable Rocky Mountains - natural beauty is everywhere.

Much of Canada's unspoiled terrain is inhabited by a wealth of wildlife from bears to birds, killer whales to caribou. With the dramatic landscapes come some big adventures. Hike Newfoundland's Appalachian Trail, ski on Whistler's mountains, or try some gentler pursuits like strolling Vancouver's Stanley Park seawall, swimming off Prince Edward Island's (PEI) pink-sand beaches, or ice skating Ottawa's Rideau Canal.
