The Absolute Best Places to Visit in Canada
North of the United States and bordered by three oceans, Canada is a country filled with natural beauty, complete with lakes, mountains and glaciers, as well as friendly, multicultural cities with plenty to do and see.
Quebec
This Canadian province was settled in the 1600s by the French, which is still the official language in this very European land rich with culture. Quebec’s Old Town region, a part of Quebec City, is a step back in time with cobblestone walkways, architectural pieces still with their original 17th century charm, and is touted one of the best places to visit in Canada by both history buffs and art aficionados.
Montreal
The city of Montreal, also located in the province of Quebec, has a distinct European feel that makes it one of the most popular cities in Canada for tourists, second only to Toronto. With an exciting nightlife, world-renowned festivals, fabulous restaurants, and plenty of places to shop, Montreal is among the very best places to visit in Canada.
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, another must-see location in Canada, boasts over 300,000 works of art ranging from sculptures, paintings, photographs, and antique, decorative pieces. In existence since 1860, the museum features interesting collections including European, Mediterranean, and contemporary, as well as pieces from ancient cultures.
Mount Royal Park, the largest of Montreal’s parks, is open year-round, and features numerous events and activities as well as beautiful flora and fauna. Skiers also enjoy a myriad of cross-country trails in this park that was landscaped by the same man who designed New York’s Central Park. By walking to the summit of Mount Royal within the park, visitors are rewarded with a breathtaking view of Montreal.
Ontario
Niagara Falls is perhaps one of the most well-known attractions in all of the world, and the city that bears the same name as the stunning waterfall is unrivaled when it comes to entertainment and excitement. The Skylon Tower is an impressive 775 feet above Niagara Falls and features an observation deck, a casual dining restaurant, and a more formal revolving dining room, making it one of the most popular places to visit in Canada.
Just a few minutes from The Falls is the Butterfly Conservatory, deemed one of the most beautiful places to visit in Canada. The conservatory is an indoor facility resembling a tropical rainforest and is home to thousands of butterflies. Also a short drive from The Falls is Bird Kingdom Niagara Falls, which is the largest, indoor aviary with nearly 500 free-flying birds. The aviary is open all year and features a 40 foot waterfall, streams, ponds, and a complete rainforest environment.
Toronto
With numerous attractions and situated only two hours from the United States border, the city of Toronto attracts millions of visitors each year. Considered to be one of the trendiest cities in Canada, Toronto offers great entertainment, numerous restaurants, and is home to over 1,000 festivals and more than 100 different cultures.
Just an hour west of Toronto is the African Lion Safari, a wildlife park where more than 1,000 exotic animals and birds of over 100 different species roam freely about the reserve. From May to October visitors can either drive their own cars or take a guided tour aboard the Safari Tour Bus.
