From coast to coast — natural wonders and vibrant cities.
A UNESCO World Heritage site and North America’s only walled city north of Mexico. Cobbled streets, 17th- and 18th-century buildings, and the iconic Château Frontenac create a European atmosphere. Walk the fortifications, explore Place Royale and Petit-Champlain, and enjoy cafés and boutiques year-round.
The heart of Canadian government, with the Peace Tower and Gothic Revival buildings overlooking the Ottawa River. Free guided tours run in summer; the Changing of the Guard and Sound and Light Show are popular. Stroll to the ByWard Market and nearby museums for a full day in the capital.
One of Canada’s most photographed spots: a tiny fishing village with a lighthouse on wave-smoothed granite rocks. The drive from Halifax is scenic; arrive early or late to avoid crowds. Respect the signs and stay off black rocks — the ocean is unpredictable. A must on any Maritime road trip.
One of the world’s great urban parks: 400 hectares of forest, beaches and the famous Seawall. Rent a bike or walk the loop, visit the totem poles at Brockton Point, and stop at the aquarium. Views of the harbour and mountains make it a peaceful escape in the heart of the city.
