Canada travel guide
Most people think about the vast plains, the snowy rockies, and perhaps the great lakes. But this country, stretching from the middle of Michigan to the North Pole, is home to both cultural and natural treasures. And surprisingly few people, although those are as diverse as they come.
With a special attitude to life, Canadians themselves make their country worth visiting. From the old European charm of Prince Edward Island on the Atlantic, the smallest of the Canadian states; to the splendor of the Rockies towering over the vibrant city of Vancouver, the Canadians enjoy life - both indoors and outdoors. The British attitude towards life, visible in the English charm of Ottawa, meets the French vitality in the ancient city of Quebec, and the lush farms and maple forests in "la belle province." From the Niagara falls to the frozen northern waste, Canada has nature in abundance. Redwood forests in British Columbia tower majestically over Victoria Island, where the original totem poles still stand above the native villages. Maple forests light up the east in fall, the color of the leaves such an important national symbol that the Canadians have put it in their flag.
But Canada is home to much more than historical memories. A country which welcomes immigrants, the Italian parts of Toronto are overlaid with Chinese and Asian immigrants, all bringing their special culture and cuisine. Toronto is the focal point of Canada, where the nature and farmland come together with the vibrant culture. Frequently playing New York in movies, Toronto has both nightlife and splendid museums, well worth a visit. As, by the way, is all of Canada. The only problem is that it is too big to manage in one visit.
