Active VacationTravel to Canada and see the magnificent country

Adventure travel to Canada from coast to coast

Adventure travel to Canada takes place in a great country leaving life-lasting travel memories. Canada offers magnificent nature such as the Rockies and fantastic cities such as Vancouver and Montreal.https://youtu.be/EIfxBr6bLN88Canada defines a travel category of its own: In one of the world´s largest countries, you can go from coast to coast from the Pacific to the Atlantic. From arctic til subtropical.  You could travel here for the rest of your life and see only a fraction of Canada. Canada is an enormously big country with relatively few and very hospitable people, a very low crime rate, and very good hotels, camping, best skiing, and mountain trekking.

Canada’s East Coast or West Coast?

The first thing you should decide with limited time is whether you want to travel to the West Coast or the East Coast. What does your travel dream and curiosity about Canada contain? The distances are considerable in Canada, but the roads and air connections are top-notch. If you travel north, nature experiences await you, which probably require a special effort to achieve. Hardships cannot be ruled out. One of the last attainable pioneer travel experiences awaits somewhere in Canada.

The Canadian West and the Rockies

The Canadian Rockies are undoubtedly among the world’s most impressive mountain ranges and travel destinations and can become one of the greatest experiences of your travel life. Those of us who have done it are happy to sign here. But Canada is also more than that, of course. The country is actually slightly larger than the United States, and large parts are desolate and close to unexplored. There are national parks as far north as Ontario for those who really want to challenge themselves on a slightly more extreme vacation. Here you can only fly in and there are literally no amenities, not so much as a fire pit and quite a few bears and polar bears. But you are very welcome. So should it be a pure adventure, a bit of a survival tour or should it be extremely comfortable with the Pacific Ocean between your toes or a luxury ski holiday in Whistler?You can of course also search for cities such as Vancouver, Ottawa (capital) and French-speaking Quebec and Montreal on the east coast. Great Canada can do it all.

Vancouver, see Chinatown and the whales of the North Pacific

Vancouver is the largest city in the province of British Columbia in Canada and is located right next to the Pacific Ocean in an incredibly beautiful bay with many islands and an extremely pleasant climate thanks to the Gulf Stream.

The Greater Vancouver area has about 2.4 million inhabitants and is the third largest urban area in Canada, after Toronto and Montréal. Vancouver is one of the largest cities in Canada with the greatest linguistic and ethnic diversity; 52% of the inhabitants have a mother tongue other than English. Vancouver has, among other things, its own Chinatown with authentic Chinese restaurants. Vancouver has Canada’s largest port. Forestry is still Vancouver’s largest industry, but the city’s location among the mountains helps make tourism the city’s second largest industry. The many film studios in Greater Vancouver have made the city one of North America’s largest cities for the production of films.Visit Vancouver

Read Mikkel’s personal account of a Montreal that was much more interesting, than he thought. “Planning my stay in Montreal was, as usual, about finding out what I was going to experience in the city, and not least where I was going to live. As you know, plans are subject to change, and a few days in Montreal changed both my plans and my perception of the city to that extent.”Montreal, a different view of the charming Canadian city
