Places to Visit as a Tourist in Canada
1. Niagara Falls
One of Canada’s most famous attractions, Niagara Falls, is located just over an hour away from Toronto. Each year several million people travel to Canada to see this natural beauty. Families can enjoy the walk down Niagara Clifton Hill, take a cruise to the base of the falls or take a trip to the Skylon Tower.
2. Banff National Park & the Rocky Mountains
Banff National Park is in the province of Alberta. It’s known for its beautiful turquoise-coloured lakes, peaks covered in snow and glaciers. A must-see is Lake Loise, where green waters reflect the surrounding mountains and glaciers, you and your family can enjoy a lovely stroll around the shores.
3. Gros Morne National Park
The Gros Morne National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with steep cliff walls, beautiful waterfalls and incredible rock formations that were caused by the glacier-fed waters. You could take a boat or hike to soak in the view. For those feeling more adventurous there is kayaking and in winter, skiing.
4. Polar Bears of Churchill, Manitoba
A definite sight to see would be the migration of the polar bears near the town of Churchill in Northern Manitoba. Every fall the community opens its doors to tourists and gives them a tour on tundra buggies that have caged windows, to have close encounters with the polar bears. The perfect time to see this spectacle is in October or November.
5. Vancouver Island
This is the perfect place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Vancouver Island is about a two-hour ferry ride from the mainland. Families can enjoy some of the best hiking trails, beautiful locations to camp or if you want to be more comfortable the island has lodges and resorts too.
