As the second largest country in the world, Canada is a spectrum of cultures. The British and French were latecomers to Canada, which for thousands of years was home to a vast aboriginal population, or “First Nations” including groups such as the Inuit and Métis. Today, more than 35 million people call Canada home, primarily inhabiting the southern part of the country.

Quebec is the ideal destination for lovers of Francophone culture. Stylish Montréal has a plethora of shops, impressive architecture and trendy bars to enjoy. You’ll be surprised with the delightful smell of a different cuisine on each block and have plenty of restaurant options to explore. Quebec City will charm you, and historic Old Quebec is nothing short of magical (it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a reason!). When it snows, the city resembles a quaint snow globe. Stay at North America’s only ice hotel, ice skate at the Place D'Youville and grab a hot chocolate from Chocolato Saint-Jean just down the road.

Above all Canada is a land of stunningly beautiful landscapes. British Columbia in Western Canada boasts everything from massive mountain ranges and windswept beaches to rainforests overflowing with life. Its urban focus, Vancouver, is Canada’s third largest city and known for its spectacular natural setting, authentic Asian food and relaxed West Coast vibe. With 37 national parks and eight national park reserves, Canada has no shortage of outdoor beauty to enjoy.
