Canada is best known for its friendly and polite locals and frigid climate, but there’s much more than that. It’s a diverse country with many great places and things to do. If you’re going to Canada, here are some must-see spots.
Niagara Falls
No list of unique Canadian destinations would be complete without Niagara Falls. It’s one of the world’s most iconic and recognisable natural features, and even more spectacular when you see it for real.
The awe-inspiring waterfall is like nothing you’ve ever seen and will be the highlight of your trip, but many people don’t realise there is more to do in the surrounding area. If you’re feeling lucky, you can visit the local casino resort, or if you’re not the gambling type, you should head over to Marineland instead. It’s a great amusement park and aquarium with loads of great roller coasters and marine life, with plenty of shows to see.
Castle Hill National Historic Site
If you’re a history buff and want to learn more about the rich history of this great country, the Castle Hill National Historic Site in Newfoundland is one of the best places to start.
The Greenwood Inn & Suites Corner Brook is well situated, so it’s easy to reach the Castle Hill site. So, if you’re coming primarily to see that, it’s an excellent place to stay. The Castle Hill National Historic Site was the location for a battle against the British and French for control over this fishing location. It’s an essential chapter in the history of Canada and North America, so it’s a must-see for anybody interested in history.
Whistler
A lot of people instantly think of skiing when they think of Canada. If that’s you and you’re looking to hit the slopes during your visit, Whistler is the best place. This fabulous resort in British Columbia is one of the biggest in North America, where you can ski, toboggan, or even jump on a snowmobile. But there are also great restaurants, museums, and art galleries to visit in the evenings.
Quebec
The French city of Quebec is one of Canada’s most popular tourist destinations, especially for couples looking for a romantic getaway. North America’s oldest walled city is a cultural haven with great museums and art galleries.
There are also some impressive architectural sites, especially the magnificent citadel. If it’s history that you’re after, you should take a trip to Battlefields Park.
Hopefully, this guide should give you a few ideas to help you plan your trip to Canada and allow you to experience everything that this great country has to offer.
