Few places contend with Canada in the natural beauty stakes. Pristine national parks, clear-as-crystal lakes and the mighty Rocky Mountains are humbling sites for even the most worldly of travellers. And, when the windswept are in need of some shelter, Canada's lively cities welcome and entertain with gusto.
The Rocky Mountains in the west of Canada run from northern British Columbia into Alberta. Stroll through protected forests, take in evergreen-covered vistas and spot impressive wild inhabitants such as the golden eagle.
Laid out across the Rockies is Banff, Canada's oldest national park that encompasses jagged mountains, coniferous forest, rivers and waterfalls. Lake Louise, the park's glacial adventure spot, attracts skiers in the winter, hikers in the summer and spa-goers year round with its delightful natural hot springs.
Vancouver enjoys a milder climate, and its award-winning green spaces provide excellent respite after a morning of shopping and sightseeing. Not many urban centres in the world can boast 5-star dining against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains.
Heading east, Niagara Falls roars with 5.7 million litres of water falling per second. Board the Maid of the Mist for an up-close view of this natural wonder - just be prepared to get wet! The Niagara Peninsula is also the place to sample Canada's famous dessert ice wine.
Shopaholics need look no further than Toronto, where streets are packed with independent shops and well-known brands. This Canadian city is evolved from an array of cultural influences, and this is reflected in its diverse dining scene and global entertainment.
But, there exists a more historic side to urban Canada - one which will take you back hundreds of years. The province of Quebec is like a slice of Europe slipped in amid the vast contemporary expanse of North America. French language cities Montreal and Quebec City are steeped in culture and history, and many arrive surprised to find 200-year-old buildings, cobbled streets and 'old-world charm' in a corner of Canada.
But then Canada has attracted explorers for generations. And we thoroughly recommend joining them.
A Milestones Canada escorted tour offers the ideal choice of holiday to Canada. Milestones selection of comprehensive first and premium class escorted tours offer the perfect introduction to Canada or allow more detailed exploration for the returning traveller.
