Canada is a vast country with a tremendous variety of attractions for travellers. Each region has something distinctly different to experience.

The Maritime provinces offer friendly hospitality, luscious seafood, rugged natural beauty, seaside vistas, and some of the oldest historic sites on the continent. Quebec is passionate with cosmopolitan cities like Montreal and Quebec City juxtaposed against rural splendour and artisanal agriculture. Ontario is the centre of power and politics in the country with Canada's capital city, Ottawa, in the east and the country's financial hub, Toronto, to the south.

The Prairies have wide open spaces, waving fields of grain, First Nations heritage, dozens of national and provincial parks, and cultural centres like Winnipeg. Alberta and British Columbia have much of what many international visitors have in mind when they think of Canada — mountain ranges, towering trees in pristine wilderness, and rodeos with daring cowboys and cowgirls.

The Far North is extremely sparsely populated, especially outside of the territorial capitals Iqaluit (YFB), Whitehorse (YXY), and Yellowknife (YZF.) Adventurous tourists visit this region to glimpse the aurora borealis, see polar bears and other wildlife on the arctic tundra, go dog-sledding or ice-fishing, and experience a taste of traditional Inuit culture.

Every part of Canada has hidden gems and off-the-beaten path destinations waiting to be discovered.
