For many people, Canada is a place they’ll go “one day”, since there’s so much to do and see that it can almost be overwhelming and it’s easy to assume that you’ll need at least a couple of months to see the highlights.
However, you can definitely pick and choose some of the places that appeal the most to you, and with such incredible scenery and beautiful sights to choose from throughout the country, you’re unlikely to go wrong and will be sure to return eventually to see anything you missed.
Here are some ideas for Canada holidays:
Toronto
Toronto is the capital of Ontario and also Canada’s most populated city. As one of the largest cities in North America, you’ll be sure to enjoy the diversity here, with people from around the world calling it home, and cultural districts like Little India, Little Italy and Chinatown just waiting to be explored.
Gros Morne National Park
For those who like to check of World Heritage Sites on their travels, Gros Morne is the place to go.

Filled with foreigners working in the ski fields, and plenty of backpackers skiing by day and partying by night, this is the perfect place to go if you can’t get enough of the snow.
Whistler
