Canada, spectacularly beautiful and heavily influenced by British and American cultures as well as French customs in the eastern cities of Quebec and Montreal, is a vast country bordered by the United States. Much of northern Canada lies within the arctic circle, although inland areas have a continental climate with high summer temperatures and freezing winters. Visit in spring, summer or autumn if you want to make the most of the great outdoors, or winter and early spring for skiing and winter sports. Spring and autumn are considered off-season, as a consequence there are fewer crowds and cheaper prices. The flight time from the UK is approximately 9-10 hours.
Canada does of course have one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World. Niagara Falls is magical and breathtaking - couple your visit to the falls with a trip to the city of Toronto. For many, the real beauty of Canada lies in its outstanding landscapes - which make it an ideal holiday destination for all the family. Enjoy hiking, rafting, fishing, skiing or snowboarding in Banff, Whistler or Calgary – or head to the bright lights of Vancouver or Victoria for a little culture, history or shopping.
