Canada

Canada is a vast North American destination where cosmopolitan cities, French and English heritage and extraordinary natural landscapes sit side by side. From Atlantic coastal communities to the Pacific shoreline and the Arctic north, the country offers a wide range of experiences for leisure and business travellers.

Major cities each carry a distinct character. Toronto is the country's largest urban centre and a major financial and cultural hub, Montreal blends French heritage with a lively arts and food scene, Vancouver sits between mountains and ocean, and Ottawa serves as the national capital with national museums and government landmarks. Calgary and Quebec City add prairie energy and fortified historic charm respectively.

Beyond the cities, Canada features landscapes ranging from the Rocky Mountains, vast boreal forest and thousands of lakes to Niagara Falls, the Bay of Fundy and long Atlantic and Pacific coastlines. National and provincial parks, Indigenous cultural sites, winter sports and seasonal festivals form an important part of the visitor experience throughout the year.

Canada is a significant destination for international trade, conferences, cultural events and tourism. Its major airports and long-distance connections also make it a practical starting point for travel across North America and onward journeys.

A well-developed network of international airports, highways and intercity rail and bus connections makes travel between Canadian cities and regions relatively straightforward, supporting convenient journeys between airports, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist destinations.
