Culture & Heritage
Discover the rich history, art and traditions of Canada
Canada is the second largest country in the world, known for its immense and varied landscapes ranging from the majestic Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, passing through vast forests and crystalline lakes. It is a multicultural and bilingual nation with a high quality of life.
Festivals & Events
Canada is synonymous with nature. The Rocky Mountains, with the parks of Banff, Jasper and Yoho, are a must. But there's so much more: Pacific Rim on Vancouver Island, Gros Morne in Newfoundland with its fjords, or the chance to see polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba.
Canadian cities are vibrant, clean and multicultural. Toronto is a global financial and cultural center. Vancouver combines an urban environment with unbeatable access to nature. Montreal offers a unique blend of North American and European charm, and Calgary is the gateway to the Rockies.
The province of Quebec offers a different cultural experience. Explore the history and architecture of Old Quebec, the walled city. Immerse yourself in Montreal's vibrant arts and food scene and tour charming towns along the St. Lawrence River.
Driving on the Icefields Parkway
Considered one of the most spectacular road routes in the world, this 232 km highway passes through the heart of Banff and Jasper National Parks. Each curve reveals breathtaking landscapes of glaciers, emerald lakes, waterfalls and imposing mountains, with a high chance of spotting wildlife.
Marvel at the Northern Lights in Yukon
Traveling to Whitehorse or other areas of northern Canada between late August and mid-April offers the opportunity to witness one of nature's most magical spectacles. Watching the green and purple lights dance in the night sky is an unforgettable experience.
Spot Whales on its Coasts
Both the Pacific coast (near Vancouver and Vancouver Island) and the Atlantic coast (in Quebec and the Maritime provinces) are prime places for whale watching between May and October. Watching orcas, humpback whales or belugas in their natural habitat is an exciting experience.
Ice Skating on the Rideau Canal
In winter, Ottawa's historic Rideau Canal transforms into the world's largest natural ice skating rink, measuring 7.8 km in length. Skating down the canal and stopping for a hot chocolate and a BeaverTail is a quintessential Canadian tradition.
Explore the Francophone Charm of Old Quebec
Walking through the cobblestone streets of the only walled city in northern Mexico is like traveling to a corner of Europe. Discovering its boutiques, galleries, bistros and admiring the imposing silhouette of the Château Frontenac hotel is an immersion in the rich history and culture of the French-speaking province.

Tips (Tipping)
Tipping is a standard and expected practice as it is not usually included in the bill. In restaurants, it is customary to leave between 15% and 20% of the total before taxes. It is also common to tip taxi drivers, hotel staff and guides.
Taxes (Sales Tax)
In-store and menu prices do not include sales tax. These are added at checkout and vary by province, combining federal tax (GST) and provincial tax (PST or HST). This can increase the final price between 5% and 15%.
Transport
Due to the enormous distances, the plane is the most efficient way to travel between regions. To explore, renting a car is the best option. The train network (VIA Rail) is scenic but not as extensive as in Europe. Major cities have excellent public transportation systems.
