North America

Welcome to Canada

Go large

We love a holiday that has a bit of everything, including modern cities, wide-open spaces and untamed wilderness, which is why we recommend travelling to Canada.

It is relatively easy to travel to Canada from the UK with lots of international flights that take as little as seven hours.

The North American country is the second-largest in the world. Still, it comes 39th in terms of population, meaning you will be able to enjoy the buzz of busy cities or venture out into the mountains and forests of the National Parks for a quieter break.

Adventures aplenty

Cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver offer everything you would want, from a modern city with excellent facilities and infrastructure, vibrant nightlife, great restaurants, friendly Canadian citizens, and lots of attractions.

Nature lovers will have more choice than they know what to do with! You will be able to explore the Canadian Rockies, the Yukon River, explore countless lakes, and come face to face with a diverse range of wildlife like bears, Moose, Wolfs, Beavers, Cougars, Geese, and more.

Adventure holidays are popular with all kinds of extreme sports available, from skiing and snowboarding to off-road driving, hiking, mountain climbing, and mountain biking.

Why Visit Canada?

There aren’t many places that suit all kinds of travellers, but Canada is an excellent destination for any visitor. Covering such a large area means that there are all kinds of landscapes to explore and you will be able to choose between winter holidays in the snow or summer breaks in the sun.

Canada has more coastline than any other country in the world, so if water sports, boating, or diving are your thing, you are in luck.

The National Parks and open territories of Canada offer incredible options for nature lovers that want to test themselves in the wilds.

If you are more at home with your creature comforts, a city break might be more up your street, and Canada has great options in that department too.
