Places in Canada You Have to Visit But a lot of us forget that right underneath our feet we have the second largest landmass in the world and on it are some of the most beautiful, exciting places imaginable. So next time you’re planning a vacation, we suggest you think local. Churchill – Manitoba Churchill is one of the few places on earth where you can come face to face with wild polar bears –just don’t poke them. Known as the Polar Bear Capital of the World, this is one experience you’ll definitely want to capitalize on.
Osoyoos – British Columbia With a motto like “Canada’s Warmest Welcome,” how can you not visit? Not only is this stretch of the Okanagan Valley warm and beautiful, it’s also one of the country’s major wine-producing regions. Winecaytion anyone? Columbia Ice Fields / Glacier Skywalk – Alberta As if the ice fields and Jasper National Park weren’t stunning enough, they went ahead this year and built a Skywalk. The glass walkway sticks out 35 meters from a cliff on Icefields Parkway and hangs – get ready for it – 280 meters above Sunwapta Canyon. That’s almost as high as the glass floor in the CN Tower… except you’re surrounded by mountains. Get on this.
Cypress Hills – Saskatchewan No, this isn’t how the hip hop group got their name, but it’s still a pretty amazing stretch of land. It has one of the highest points in the country (you thought they only had the Prairies) and if you like a raw outdoorsy experience, you can hit one of the 450 campsites – more than their population – at the nearby town of Elkwater.
Montmorency Falls – Quebec About 12km from the heart of Old Quebec City is the country’s highest waterfall. Yup, it’s about 100 feet higher than Niagara Falls. There’s a suspension bridge over the crest and several staircases for multiple views around the falls. Next time you’re in Old Quebec (which should be soon), make sure you check it out.
Percé Rock – Quebec When was the last time you saw anything 375 million years old? And apparently, people estimate that within 400 years, the rock will no longer be visible. Better move quickly and get those selfies in while you can.
Toronto During TIFF – Ontario Toronto is truly at its finest during its renowned International Film Festival. Between the stars, the atmosphere, the events and the extended last call at about 50 bars and restaurants (4am), if you get a chance to spend a week in Toronto, try to make it this one.
