Areas in Canada

Alberta

Set amidst the towering Canadian Rockies, Banff is a great place to discover the frontier spirit of Alberta.

British Columbia

Situated on Canada's dramatic Pacific Coast, British Columbia presents a delightful dilemma, how to enjoy all of the province's cosmopolitan pleasures and all of its incredible natural beauty in just one vacation. Fortunately, the delightful city of Vancouver makes it easy to have both!

New Brunswick

Part of New Brunswick's Tidal Experience Zone, Moncton offers an excellent base for exploring the many exciting attractions of the Bay of Fundy, One of the Marine Wonders of the World. Home of the world's highest tides, the Bay of Fundy rises as much as 48 feet, twice a day. In response, Moncton's Petitcodiac River empties and refills twice a day in accordance with the powerful tides. The sight and sound of the tidal bore moving along the river banks is just one of the unique experiences that await you in this vibrant town.

St John's, Newfoundland, Canada

The classic harbor city of St. John's was settled in 1528, making it the oldest city in North America. Today, this historic treasure is the commercial and political capital of Newfoundland, and offers significant historical sites, narrow winding streets lined with colorful clapboard houses, and terrific shopping.

Halifax, Canada

Rich in charm and history, Halifax is a compact city perfect for exploring on foot. Visitors delight in strolling along the flower-lined paths of the oldest Victorian gardens in North America and watching military tradition come alive with the skirl of the bagpipes and the roar of the cannons at the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. On sunny days, the city's gleaming waterfront is a treat for the senses, with broad walkways that connect inviting plazas and green spaces with eclectic shops, lively outdoor cafés, pubs, and fine restaurants. Nova Scotia's seafaring past is depicted through fascinating exhibits at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and experienced first-hand on tours of the bustling harbor. The cobbled lanes of the Historic Properties divulge a past full of tales and intrigue from the days when privateers used them to stash their loot. When the sun sets on the city, the non-stop nightlife moves to the beat of fiery Celtic fiddles playing in hundred-year-old pubs and cool jazz grooving through friendly clubs.

Ontario

Not far from Toronto, you can experience the awesome power of nature as the Niagara Falls rush over the cliffs between the United States and Canada. Viewed from the brink or the bottom, it's a spectacular show you won't soon forget!

Charlottetown, PEI

Canada's smallest province, picturesque Prince Edward Island, is known for much more than its rolling countryside, red-sand beaches, and sapphire-blue sea. This fairy tale setting is also the background of Lucy Maud Montgomery's famous book, Anne of Green Gables.

Quebec

Though it borders four U.S. states, you'll probably feel like you've traveled much further when you visit Quebec. The province has a strong French influence, most residents speak French as their first language, and distinctive Old World charm. No where is this more true than in Quebec City, the provincial capital.
