Why Travel to Canada?
Not just a greener, gentler version of USA, Canada is a huge, picturesque, sparsely populated country, with a multicultural identity and an interesting clash between English and French influences. Canada is most attractive for outdoor types, particularly skiers in winter and hikers in summer, though the relaxed urbanity of Vancouver and lively culture of Montreal draw city lovers too. For land viewing of arctic wildlife – especially polar bears – tours based from Churchill are unbeatable. Canada is safe, spacious, spectacular, serves good, varied cuisine and half of it speaks your language [the other half mostly speaks it too, but don’t want to!]. This mini-guide to Canada is a simple introduction to the country to help you make a quick and correct destination decision. Later you will need a comprehensive travel guide to take with you.
