Truly spectacular is the skyline of Canada’s capital Toronto. It stretches along Lake Ontario and is characterized by skyscrapers and the 553-meter CN (Canadian National) Tower. The viewing platform at a height of 446 meters offers a magnificent panoramic view. Also popular with visitors are the fairytale-like Casa Loma Castle, the Scarborough Bluffs Zoo and Steep Cliffs.
If you look up in the historic old town of Québeck, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful views of all: the Grand Hotel Château Frontenac. The historic district is surrounded by fortifications and even has a citadel in the program.
Canada offers its guests lively metropolises with unique sights. In the old city of Montreal, the Basilica Nôtre Dame with its 70-meter high twin towers is located, in Edmonton, the West Edmonton Mall with 350,000 square meters invites you to stroll and spend money, and in Vancouver, the aquarium with its dolphin shows is one of the highlights.
Canada is famous for its national parks. Unique experiences in nature are promised by Jasper National Park. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest national park in the Rocky Mountains. In Wood Buffalo National Park, herds of buffalo roam the vast prairie to this day, and bears, lynx, wolves and elk also find a protected habitat here. Banff National Park, on the other hand, is considered Canada’s oldest national park and is characterized by the grandiose mountain scenery of the Rocks Mountains.
No visit to Canada without Niagara Falls! On the Canadian side, the water gushes down up to 52 meters.
