Canada is one of the celebrated countries of the world. The second
largest country in the world has unique blend of French-English
culture. With plenty of worth watching cities, the country is not
densely populated. The cities of Canada have their own magnificence and
grandeur that magnetizes people round the globe.
The Land of Provinces
The
vast area of the country along with variation in flora and fauna varies
in other attractions too. The different provinces have the aura that
leaves no visitor from getting beguiled. They vary in not just flora
and fauna but also the culture and other temptations.
Toronto city has any and
everything. Where on one hand the city is the home for the longest
street in the world- the Yonge Street, on the other hand it has the
1815 foot tall CN tower that is well known to be the tallest free
standing structure in the world. This isn’t all. The visitors also take
delight in the ravishing and enticing antiques displayed at the Sigmund
Samuel Canadian Gallery and the eternal tourist destination-the Royal
Canadian Museum.
·The Prince Edward Island, the smallest
province enthralls the visitors with its scenic splendor. The place is
blessed not just with beautiful landscapes, sandstone cliffs on its
southern coast but also sparkling green fields in the interior, crystal
blue beach water of the sandy beaches around the coastline.
·New
Brunswick that is rooted in the French tradition s rich in seafood and
fishing. The place has nestled the largest and busy town of Saint John
that reminds of the history of the province.
·Fishing and
hunting are adored in the Newfoundland region too. It is the largest of
the Atlantic Province that has the eleventh century Viking outpost as
its outstanding attraction.
·The New Scotland or Nova Scotia
smells of Scotland as well as French fragrance. The amalgamation is
also of the contemporary and the archaic structures like from the
nineteenth century historic buildings there are exclusive latest
shopping malls, apartments, hotels etc.
·The British Columbia province is distinctively bifurcated into the lush green forests and the dry and arid region.
·The
Quebec province and the Quebec City have a lot to treat the visitors.
The Montreal region of the Quebec province has special seasonal
festivals. The winter season is a host to the La Fete des Neiges
festival; the summers welcome all the Jazz and opera lovers with its
Montreal International Music Competition and the International Opera
Festival respectively. The Festival Internationale de Nouvelle Danse
and the International film festival add to the beauty of autumn season.
The Quebec City that is the capital of the Quebec Province is quite
significant from the perspective of trade and commerce and its
noteworthy historical buildings.
·To hail all the golf,
tennis, baseball and soccer lovers, the third largest city of Canada -
Vancouver has more than numerous golf courses, tennis courts, baseball
and soccer fields. The city has an exotic forty storey Harbor Center
climbing up at which one can gaze at the Gastown (a renowned tourist
spot) and Chinatown (the blooming Chinese community of Vancouver). For
the children as well as the adults there is Stanley Park Zoo that is
nestled in a thousand acre Stanley Park.
·If Canada happens to
be your holiday destination in the first two weeks of July, not to miss
is the Calgary Stampede i.e. the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. This
show has worldwide popularity that fetches innumerable tourists to
Calgary.
·Last but not the least are the Canadian Rockies- the
Rocky Mountains on the edge between Alberta and British Columbia, the
4200 square mile Jasper National Park and the first national park of
Canada i.e. the Banff National Park.
Canada is the place where
sports never say die. The country is known for its water sports like
canoeing, sailing and so forth. Apart from these there is the national
game of Canada- Lacrosse, the Canadians adorable game of Hockey, Basket
ball and the like.
The moment Canada ranks first on your dream
destinations, just collect little information about the weather of the
place that varies with the provinces there. For instance, the Quebec
and provinces adjacent to it have hot and humid summers with cold
winters. But the Northwest Canadian Territories are different with
short cool summers and long cool winters. However, the concoction or
fusion of diverse cultures and climate, picturesque attractions,
cuisine, language, people etc. make Canada what it is- a place worth
loving and visiting.
