Canada Travel

Canada is the second-largest country in the world, behind Russia. Its natural beauty stretches from Toronto in the south to the Nunavut province in the north, and from Newfoundland in the east to Vancouver in the west. You can hear people speaking French in Quebec, English in Ontario and Inuktitut in Nunavut. Canada is a huge, diverse place with breathtaking beauty, and this guide can help you navigate it.

What to do in Canada

Because Canada is so huge, with big cities and tiny towns scattered from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, a trip to Canada rarely includes “seeing it all.” If you drive across the New York-Ontario border for a trip to Toronto, don’t count on making a side trip to Quebec City or Vancouver. Use this section to learn about Canada’s unique landscape and the cities and towns that punctuate it, so you can customize your trip to this great northern land.
