Canada Holidays

Anyone planning a holiday to Canada is in for a treat – pretty much wherever you go or whatever type of trip you have in mind.



Canada is the second biggest country in the world – bigger than the USA - so you can pretty much guarantee that it will have something for everyone. There is stunning scenery and cutting edge cities. Surprising history and vibrant culture and sports. And space. Plenty of space and the greatest of the great outdoors.

But with so much on offer it can be tricky to really make the most out of a Canadian holiday. So we’ve dug out some top tips from travel companies, tourist agencies and returning holidaymakers. Read on to get the complete picture. And get ready for the holiday of a lifetime.

In total Canada has 13 World Heritage Sites – including the fossil-laden Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. You’ll find bones from some 35 species of dinosaur there, many of them more than 70 million years old. Other parks couldn’t sound more idiosyncratic if they tried. Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, also in Alberta, is a great example. Take a look at www.parkscanada.ca for more details of all these sites and more.
